As classes start to pick up, reading assignments pile up and midterms draw near, most students begin their countdown to fall break and look forward to the extra days as an opportunity to relax. Participants in Alternative Fall Break, however, kick into overdrive in their mission to serve the Charlottesville community.
This fall, Max Hall and Austin Jones, rising juniors at Old Dominion University (ODU) will launch CampusWise at the University — a new textbook service allowing students to buy and sell from one another directly and make payments online.
They said it couldn’t be done. They said I was foolish to try. They said it would throw off my poop schedule. No, I’m not talking about using all 49 swipes in one week allotted by the deceptively named “unlimited” meal plan. I’m speaking, of course, of sharing a room with a member of the opposite sex; or for the more detail-oriented readers among you, of two cisgendered friends cohabiting for the duration of one year.
The past year has been one of extraordinary grief for the University and Charlottesville communities. As the academic year comes to a close, the student body honors the students we have lost — Hannah Graham, Peter D’Agostino, Connor Cormier and Hunter Smith. They will be fondly remembered.
Saturdays are finally back to being the fun Saturdays we know and love. The warm weather has arrived and the University’s day-parties have returned. Instead of fearing those long, cold commutes across Grounds, you can once again bathe in happiness on your lawn, your neighbor’s lawn or some random person’s lawn.
Relay For Life garnered the participation of over 1,800 student volunteers Friday night through its partnership with Madison House. The event was held for 12 hours from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and combined a traditional Relay fundraiser with Madison House’s annual Big Event, which sponsored 25 different volunteer sites throughout the community this year.
Although spring break just ended, allow me to time travel momentarily back into the cold, merciless weeks that were winter break. It was during those weeks when I embarked on a spontaneous, and very memorable four-day drive from south-central New Mexico to Washington, D.C. For what it stole in gas, the trip made up for in interesting anecdotes.
Most students imagine their spring break to be exactly that — a break. Select students, however, dedicated their week to one of 29 service trips organized by the University’s Alternative Spring Break program.
Somehow — miraculously — out of the frigid maw of this February we have emerged onto spring break. Some people are excited to fly to Europe, some to service trips in the American South or in Central America, some to Cancun and Florida to sit on beaches and drink and still others home to rest. I’m just excited to see my cat.
Two weeks after Rolling Stone published “A Rape on Campus,” faculty members of the College of Arts & Sciences met to discuss the article and propose possible actions to combat sexual violence at the University.
One Less and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Team have teamed up to promote bystander intervention and practicing safety this Halloween weekend.
Student leaders constructed a memorial to honor and celebrate late second-year College student Hannah Graham Sunday morning at the Whispering Wall.
This spring break, I had the good fortune to attend an Alternative Spring Break (ASB) trip to San Juan, Texas. My experience was phenomenal. And I was not alone in this assessment; each person I asked told me that his or her ASB trip was exceptionally fun and worthwhile. I would highly recommend the ASB experience to any University student.
By offering scholarships to incoming University students, the Jefferson Scholars Foundation aims to attract students who have exhibited Thomas Jefferson’s ideals of leadership, citizenship and scholarship — oftentimes bringing students to Grounds who would not be here otherwise.
The Office of Housing and Resident Life released the resident advisor decisions for this upcoming year during Spring Break for first-year, upper class and focused residential areas. Of the 409 students who applied, 90 candidates received offers.
Sometimes we say meaningless things.
Last Saturday, I became aware of my incredible inadequacy. At TEDxUVA, I listened to 20-year-old Cason Crane modestly describe his astonishing feat of climbing the highest peak on every continent in order to raise money and awareness for LGBTQ rights. By the time I turn 20, my greatest accomplishment will be having eaten the amount of cheese balls I have to date without dying. I am currently looking at my planner and realizing that next to “Week of:” I wrote “Food.” One point for Avery.
