Continuing their hot streak, No. 3 Virginia field hockey faced off against California Friday in Charlottesville to kick off conference play. The Cavaliers (6-0, 1-0 ACC) stayed undefeated as they fought off the Golden Bears (4-1, 0-1 ACC) in a 4-3 home victory.
Chance Mallory, a consensus four-star guard recruit from neighboring St. Anne’s Belfield High School, announced his commitment to Virginia Friday, posting the news to his Instagram account.
The Cavaliers (10-1, 0-0 ACC) won back-to-back against MTSU (3-10, 0-0 CUSA) Tuesday and Wednesday night — 3-1 and 3-2, respectively. With their seventh-straight win, Virginia also has now won 10 of their 11 first matches — this has happened only four times in program history, the last being in 2003. With Virginia’s regular season right around the corner, it is vital that the team prepare themselves for strong competition if they want to make a run in the NCAA Tournament this fall. It is a good thing, then, that they have been doing just that.
During the legislative session, representatives made amendments to add about $2,500 to the budget, raising it from $231,481.75 to $233,981.75
The first major event of the fall presidential campaign took place Sept. 10 with the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump — likely the only time these two candidates will debate before the election. Prior to the debate, The Cavalier Daily assembled an election focus group of undecided student voters to gauge their reactions throughout the election season. Now, just over a week after the debate, among the five participants present at the focus group’s first meeting, all five suggested Harris performed better than Trump in the debate, even if each candidates’ performance did not change their voting intention.
Simran Havaldar, chair of the FAC and fourth-year Commerce Rep., plans to organize an “AI lunch and learn,” involving a host of professors to serve as panelists.
Football’s ascending start to the season fell back down to earth Saturday with a loss to Maryland. A 2-1 start isn’t bad, especially considering how fortunate this team was to escape Wake Forest with a win. But Saturday was a step backwards on a path this team hopes will lead to a bowl game. Here is everything we know about the Cavaliers a quarter of the way through the season.
Virginia women’s soccer had a disappointing home outing Sunday against Wake Forest. The No. 2 Cavaliers (8-1-0, 1-1-0 ACC) struggled to find momentum on both sides of the ball in a lopsided 3-0 defeat to the Demon Deacons (6-2-1, 1-1-0 ACC) that represented the first loss of the season for Virginia.
Currently on a hot streak, No. 3 Virginia field hockey took on No. 21 American in a neutral-site contest in College Park, Md. The Cavaliers (4-0, 0-0 ACC) survived the Eagles (2-4, 0-0 Patriot League) in a 3-2 overtime victory to remain undefeated this season.
With the fall semester underway, I have had time to reflect on the ways in which Grounds could become an even better place to live and learn. We are all so busy worrying about the “big” things — due dates, meetings and exams — that we often forget about the “small” things. The smallest, but arguably most important, thing? An act of kindness. Acts of kindness, for others and ourselves, spread positivity and build community. Here are ten small — but profound — ways to spread kindness.
Baucom said that the University is also planning to appoint a full time program coordinator within student affairs to support the Interfaith Student Center and work more closely with faith-based organizations.
Virginia went back on the road this weekend to take part in the Liberty Tournament Thursday and Friday. The Cavaliers (8-1, 0-0 ACC) showed that this will be a definitive season by downing all three opponents — ETSU 3-1 Thursday evening, West Virginia 3-1 Friday afternoon and Liberty 3-2 Friday night. Now, with a multitude of victories under its belt, Virginia is ready to enter into regular season matchups with the same fiery energy it has shown so far this season.
Last week, somebody defaced an Israeli flag hanging in Rouss-Robertson Hall with a question — “Where is Palestine.” In less than 24 hours, three members of the University's leadership denounced this act of vandalism as antisemitism. In doing so, they transformed a contemporary political question into a statement of enduring ethnic hatred. As a symbol of a nation state, the Israeli flag is a political rather than religious or ethnic symbol. Further, the text written on the flag, “Where is Palestine,” signals that this debate is happening in the political realm. In short, by labeling this question written on an Israeli flag as antisemitic, the University is suppressing discussions of Palestinian sovereignty. Vandalism is not a protected form of political protest, but the University’s response erroneously classifies a political act as a statement of ethnic enmity.

Baucom said the University is continuing to follow up on the task force’s recommendations, which included assessing and adding additional prayer and meditation spaces and potentially expanding kosher and halal dining options on Grounds. The University announced the creation of the task force in December with the purpose of understanding religious perspectives and experiences of faculty, staff and students on Grounds. Baucom told the Committee that he would attend future meetings with further updates.
The Board of Visitor’s Finance Committee reviewed the University’s endowment — including recent growth underperformance and a decision against divestment after a student referendum in the spring — along with approving updates to the 2023 six-year institutional plan and biennial budget funding requests during its Friday meeting. The state-required six-year plan builds upon the University’s larger goals to strengthen its foundation and grow as a community of service and learning.
No one can deny that first year is tough. Sure, my upper level classes are more difficult than my gen-eds, but adjusting to the college lifestyle makes first year by far the most challenging time in school. Just about everything is new — the people, places, living arrangements, schedules and academic rigor. It’s a lot to adjust to all at once. But never fear — there is so much to take advantage of on Grounds and in Charlottesville to help ease the transition. For all things first year, here are some ways to get acclimated, thrive socially and academically and have some good fun.
The Board of Visitors will convene Thursday and Friday, and will discuss amendments to the University’s requested budget from the state government, as well as progress made towards the University’s sustainability goals. The Board will also discuss supporting a set of guidelines developed by the Committee on Institutional Statements — a task force created to advise University President Jim Ryan and the administration on when and how the school should comment on contentious political issues.
According to the guidelines, the University encourages professors to develop their own policies on how AI technology can be used within the classroom.
