Drop in on a philosophy class at the University, and you may find a border collie or two curled up in the lecture hall.

While the dogs’ primary focus is to aid the faculty couple, their impact spreads to the student body as well.

Upon returning to Grounds last month, my friend Lily, a Charlottesville native, invited me over for dinner one evening. For dessert, she retrieved a plastic container with a slice of Peanut Butter Pie from her family’s favorite restaurant, Dr. Ho’s Humble Pie. After the first bite, I was smiling ear to ear — I knew that I would have to visit the restaurant for my next food review. And I’m glad I did — while I visited Dr. Ho’s with my heart set on the desserts, it’s a perfect food stop for a variety of different food items, serving up salads, sandwiches, burgers and, their speciality, pizza.

The University music scene is known for its popular fraternity bands, its well-attended house shows of Indieheads — a student-run music organization — and its cult-like a cappella culture.

Exactly as advertised, sophomore guard Kymora Johnson put up a freshman season for the ages last year. A former five-star recruit, she has the ability to elevate Virginia back to the glory days of the 1990s. Johnson earned Second Team All-ACC honors and a spot on the ACC All-Freshman Team — plus she led Virginia in scoring, assists, steals and minutes played per game.

As most basketball fans know, the great Adrian Wojnarowski has been the leading voice for breaking NBA news over the past several years. Shortly after announcing his retirement from ESPN Wednesday, he announced that he would become the first men’s basketball general manager for St. Bonaventure. Now, the term “general manager" may be extremely familiar for a professional basketball franchise — but is very new on the collegiate landscape. With more and more programs adding the position, Virginia must follow suit in order to win in the Name, Image and Likeness age.
