Finally, after a series win on the road versus California, No. 23 Virginia officially had momentum. And that momentum was immediately squandered Wednesday against Richmond. The defeat was a frustrating midweek loss that could have served as an opportunity to tune up ahead of a weekend series versus Duke.
John Thomas Casteen III was born December 11th, 1943, in Portsmouth, Va., to John Thomas Casteen Jr. and Naomi Irene (Anderson) Casteen. He grew up in the Cradock and Deep Creek areas of Chesapeake and Portsmouth with his brothers Tim and Dennis and close family friend Bob Linton, graduating from Cradock High School in 1961. From his mother, he inherited a profound love of the musicality of language, including and especially the texture and cadences of the King James Bible. From his father, he learned a life-long love of the water, particularly the Chesapeake Bay and the Great Dismal Swamp. From his teachers in Cradock, especially Cora Mae Fitzgerald, who urged him to attend the University, he gained a sense of the inestimable value of public education — a transformative process of individual growth and democratic progress.
Since 1931, the Downtown Mall’s historic and beloved Paramount Theater has stood resolute as a pillar of arts within Charlottesville, offering moviegoers the unique opportunity to experience beloved movies from any era on the big screen. The Paramount seeks to prioritize audience experience at the forefront of its operations, thoughtfully balancing a diverse selection of programming with strategic anniversary and seasonal screenings.
Don’t ever take no for an answer. This has been the driving motivator of Assoc. Commerce Prof. Sherri Moore’s journey. Moore knew from the age of six that she wanted to be a lawyer — not deterred, but rather roused, by the nay-saying and doubtful comments from her family and society. Ultimately, she would go on to serve as a trial lawyer for 20 years.
Music is a permanent staple of University culture, from student bands playing country and classic rock at darties to late night DJs spinning house music at frats and bars. The University’s music scene cultivates a vibrant community, fueled by the sense of connection that emerges from something as simple as dancing to good music with friends. Within this scene, a growing number of women DJs are making a name for themselves and shaking up the rhythm.

Nearly 20 years ago, Class of 2005 alumna Gretchen Zimmerman unexpectedly found herself in the middle of a campus cultural storm. As a pioneer Sex and Relationships columnist for The Cavalier Daily, she anticipated making her friends laugh, with the added bonus of slowly breaking down the stigma about women and sex. Instead, she was met with viral attention before “going viral” was a phenomenon — adored by some, shamed by others and ultimately left to cope with the weight of a reputation that followed her long after she stepped away from her column.
As Women’s History Month rolls around, the University is once again provided the opportunity to celebrate its students. During this time, it is imperative to acknowledge that Women's History month should not just be about intangible celebrations or rhetorical teaching but rather about actually creating change. The University is now given the chance to shed light on a complicated past, which only allowed women to matriculate 55 years ago. However, March is more than halfway through, and the events have minimally celebrated this important period — failing to both teach women’s history and implement tangible changes for the future.
In a move to comply with President Donald Trump’s Jan. 21 executive order, the Board of Visitors voted unanimously to dissolve the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Community Partnerships March 9. For students and organizations who depended on funding from the DEI office to hold events, it is unclear what this will mean going forward. Students broadly expressed discontent with the decision, even if not placing the blame on the University itself.
Virginia men's lacrosse, now unranked after its defeat Saturday to No. 1 Maryland, secured a 12-9 victory Tuesday over Albany at Klöckner Stadium in the second of four consecutive home games. The Cavaliers (4-4, 0-0 ACC) built an early lead and weathered a late push from the Great Danes (2-6, 0-1 CAA) to get back in the win column following a tough stretch of games against ranked opponents.
After concluding her final meeting of the full Board of Visitors this month, fourth-year College student Lisa Kopelnik will officially step down from her position as the Board’s non-voting student representative June 1.
No. 12 Virginia women’s golf headed down to South Carolina for the Old Barnwell Derby Matchplay tournament Monday and Tuesday, an event composed of eight elite women’s golf programs. The Cavaliers entered the fray as the No. 4 seed based on current rankings, matching them up with No. 5 seed and No. 14-ranked Ole Miss. The seeding list was bookended by the host, No. 4 South Carolina, at the top and No. 22-ranked Duke at the bottom. The Cavaliers finished fourth after winning just one of their three matches.
In an event sponsored by the Center for Politics and the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, Martin Luther King III, professor of practice and civil rights leader, spoke about honoring his parents’ legacy. King shared several stories about his parents throughout the evening and also addressed the ways that he still adds to their legacy with his own civil rights work.

After releasing regular decision results last Friday, the University’s overall acceptance rate fell to 23 percent for Virginia residents, and 12.5 percent for out-of-state residents. Because the University aims to have a student body that is roughly two-thirds Virginian, in-state residency accounts for different acceptance rates for in-state versus out-of-state applicants.
Dear University Community,
“But if the story is over, why am I still writing pages,” Taylor Swift sings in her song “Death by a Thousand Cuts.”
