Graduate students in the School of Architecture have been working with Cultivate Charlottesville, an organization that centers around combatting food inequality in Charlottesville, to design plans for a proposed community garden in Booker T. Washington Park. Students worked with community members throughout the design process to maximize local impact.
Virginia volleyball traveled to Notre Dame and Louisville over the weekend in search of a break of a three-game losing streak. The Cavaliers (8-10, 1-7 ACC) could not find the way back to their early season winning ways, however, losing in four sets to the Fighting Irish (10-6, 4-4 ACC) Friday and in three sets to the No. 6 Cardinals (16-2, 7-1 ACC) Sunday.
There is something special brewing on the roads, trails and tall grass of Charlottesville — as their regular seasons come to a close, Virginia’s men’s and women’s cross country teams find themselves ranked 10th and seventh, respectively, in the USTFCCCA Coaches’ National Poll. The mastermind behind it all is Vin Lananna, Virginia director of track and field and cross country . Lananna is a legend of the running community, with perhaps the greatest coaching resume in collegiate athletics, elite recruiting and talent development abilities and a clear vision for the Cavaliers’ program.
It is a dark and stormy night. You are sitting on the first floor of Clem, frantically flipping through your notes in a last-ditch effort to memorize everything you need to know for the exam you’re taking in the morning, when all of a sudden the lights start flickering. At first you ignore it — the three energy drinks you chugged are probably causing you to hallucinate. Yet, just as you are about to start googling jobs that don’t require a college degree, you hear a banging sound on the window next to you. It’s your class crush and they are somehow ugly now! Oh no! The zombie apocalypse is here, and your only chance at survival rests on you sticking with one of these three people.
Longtime Charlottesville resident and acclaimed writer Jody Hobbs Hesler recently released a powerful first collection of short stories entitled “What Makes You Think You’re Supposed to Feel Better?” The collection — which was released Sunday Oct. 15 — contains a wide-ranging plethora of fiction short stories, all set in Central Virginia. Through each of her characters’ lives, she focuses on messages of moving through painful moments instead of remaining blindly positive.

No. 15 Virginia bested a competitive field Sunday to win the Golf Club of Georgia (GCG) Collegiate Title, the final tournament of their fall season, bouncing back from a disappointing fourth-place finish at the Hamptons Intercollegiate earlier this month. The Cavaliers recorded 30 birdies in the final round to make up for an 11-shot difference, a feat that saw them cruise to victory.
The addition of native plants is breathing new life into the hillside by Carr’s Hill Field, the result of a project conducted by the University’s Landscape Services Division and J.W. Townsend Landscapes.
The University’s early decision and early action applications close Nov. 1. The admissions office then reviews these applications holistically, meaning that algorithms are not used in the decision making process which takes into account a range of factors. Ultimately, such a process should produce a richly diverse incoming class whose variety of life experiences further the institutional mission and stated values of the University. However, this year, the entire higher education community is confronting a twin set of issues — the legal ban on affirmative action and the rise of ChatGPT — which appear to complicate the entire basis of the holistic admissions process and its stated goals of producing a “varied and dynamic” class. Despite the clarity of the new challenge, we have no proof that the University is adequately equipped or prepared to handle one, let alone both of these problems simultaneously. In fact, upon closer examination, their response to the ban on affirmative action is entirely undermined by the presence of ChatGPT. The admissions office must act proactively to address this threat in a way that accounts for the unique intersectionality of this problem.
From the wineries of Nelson County to the haystacks of Pittsylvania, Virginia’s 5th congressional district represents the diversity of the central and southern parts of Virginia like no other. In Charlottesville and throughout the district, however, that diversity is threatened by congressional leaders like Bob Good who exemplify a zero-sum mentality that seeks only to serve those in his party — who are overwhelmingly white. The heavy congressional redistricting that has taken place over the past few years has left residents without adequate representation, and the committee formed to address these problems — the Virginia Redistricting Commission — has failed to address this issue. With clear examples of how redistricting has failed our community seen in our district’s latest congressional pick, future commissions must be truly independent to transcend partisan politics, provide adequate representation and protect the voices of minority voters.
Swap at U.Va. held their first “mini” swap event this past Friday as students gathered in Garden IX to exchange second-hand clothing, jewelry and laughs.
Stepping foot onto the second floor of The Fralin Museum of Art, one crosses the threshold between the stress of everyday life and the fluid, expressive world of abstract art.
Pockets of conversation filled Rice Hall Saturday morning as students kickstarted the Ideathon, an annual technology entrepreneurship event hosted by HooHacks. The Ideathon provides undergraduate and graduate students at the University with the opportunity to learn from business professionals, workshop their ideas and win up to $1,000 in funding for their startup pitch. Students across all schools and majors came together in a nine-hour workshop to cultivate their creativity and find out what it means to propose a project that aims to identify a societal need and provide solutions.
Virginia football is on a bye week, so for the first time in a while, a true evaluation of the Cavaliers (1-5, 0-2 ACC) at the midway point of the season can be had. Adding a tally to the win column last Saturday is a massive turning point for Coach Tony Elliot’s struggling squad, but the 2023 season has been a strange mix of frustrating losses, considerable progress and major storylines.
An immigrant detention center in Farmville, Va., a town 60 miles south of Charlottesville, has received calls from students, undocU.Va. and other activist groups across the country demanding the center close, citing unlawful and inhumane practices. University students specifically have taken interest in the issue, spreading activist efforts outside the Charlottesville area.
In the heart of Charlottesville, a vibrant and close-knit community of creative souls gathers to celebrate the art of stitchcraft. Black Women Stitch, a local award-winning sewing group with over 20,000 followers on Instagram, stands as a testament to the resilience, creativity and cultural richness of Black women in the realm of textiles.
New York University committed “to avoid any direct investments in any company whose primary business is the exploration or extraction of fossil fuels” in mid-September. NYU’s divestment from the fossil fuel industry follows almost two decades of effort by student organizers and activists to impel their school to recognize the ongoing and increasing threat of the climate crisis. NYU is not alone — over one hundred educational institutions in the United States, including Harvard, the University of Michigan, the University of California System and Cornell, have taken their investments out of fossil fuels. These commendable actions by peer institutions beg the question — what is the University waiting for?
As any student here could attest to, we are all too familiar with the words “community alert” popping up on our phones, so much so that we learn to tune it out. It becomes just another notification, often the butt of jokes on Yik Yak. But the attempted abduction earlier this month — which left one student hospitalized — cut through all of that. To the victim, the Editorial Board offers our support and empathy. For the rest of the University’s community, this incident has added to an ever-growing list of horrific crimes near Grounds. The University is home to north of 20,000 young adults — it is not just where we learn, but also where we live, work and are meant to feel safe. And if this most recent alert exemplified anything, it is that for many of us, we just don’t feel safe in our homes anymore.
