Volleyball hosted Hofstra and Coastal Carolina in its own tournament, the Cavalier Classic, Friday and Saturday. Despite getting swept by the Chanticleers (2-4, 0-0 Sun Belt) 3-0 Friday, the Cavaliers (5-1, 0-0 ACC) won both matches Saturday, defeating the Pride (2-3, 0-0 CAA) 3-1 and exacting their revenge on Coastal Carolina, winning 3-2.

At the beginning of each academic year, the University community has the opportunity to participate in an emergent part of the on-Grounds arts scene — the U.Va. Arts Welcome Picnic. Held on the Betsy and John Casteen Arts Grounds Sunday, this annual event offered an array of information tables, food and drink and student performances ranging from poetry readings to choreographed dance numbers, giving the arts-affiliated organizations a chance to publicize their contributions and influence on the arts community.
Currently illuminating the dark corners of the Fralin Museum of Art is “Barbara Hammer: Evidentiary Bodies,” a vivid exhibition exploring what it means to make art in the midst of severe illness. Hammer, an experimental filmmaker known primarily for her innovative work within the feminist and queer film genres, dealt with ovarian cancer for the last 13 years of her life. The exhibit, unveiled at the museum June 22, features the short film “Evidentiary Bodies,” her last before passing away in 2019.
Fashion enthusiasts were treated to a striking display of cultural identity Saturday as students in bright sarees, lehengas and Habesha kemis walked the runway at 1515 for the University Programs Council’s “Fashion from Around the World.” A fashion show dedicated to cultural clothing, the event brought together students from diverse backgrounds for an evening of artistic expression and unity.
Students took sacrificing blood, sweat and tears to the maximum while competing at the University’s first Virginia Collegiate Classic Bodybuilding Show in the Newcomb Ballroom Saturday. Hosted by the U.Va. Barbell Club and University Programs Council, the competition aimed to increase awareness of bodybuilding and showcase the capabilities of the human body.
Virginia women’s soccer took its exclusion from the preseason top-25 rankings personally. Winners of their first seven games of the 2024 season, the No. 2 Cavaliers have outscored their opponents by a 19-1 margin — in the past four games, they have not allowed a single shot on goal. While Virginia’s non-conference excellence has established the team as a national championship contender, the upcoming challenge of the ACC season is what will decide the trajectory of their season.
Virginia women’s soccer capped off its non-conference schedule with a resounding win over Howard at Klöckner Stadium Sunday afternoon. Once again, the Cavaliers (7-0-0, 0-0-0 ACC) faced little resistance on either side of the ball, recording goals from four different players while holding the Bison (1-3-3, 0-0-0 NEC) to zero shots.
As campaigns ramp up in a year that promises a change in national leadership, one class at the University titled PLAP 3500, “Election 2024,” will use political science principles to make sense of the historic election. Meanwhile, professors in other departments, from media studies to history, are emphasizing this year’s election as a way to discuss American democracy more broadly.
Hot off their win Friday against Temple, No. 3 Virginia field hockey traveled to Lynchburg for a matchup against the No. 11 Liberty squad Sunday. The Cavaliers (3-0, 0-0 ACC) fought off the Flames (2-1, 0-0 Big East) to clinch a hard fought 2-1 victory.
The Futures Initiative, a program under the office of the executive vice president, hosted a panel Thursday — titled “University Futures: A President’s Panel” — between four university and college presidents.

When then-senior quarterback Tony Muskett went down with an injury in the 2023 season opener, dread descended over the Virginia sideline. Muskett was supposed to lead the Cavaliers back to bowl game contention, and instead he suffered the first of multiple injuries he faced last year. With overwhelming confidence, swagger and talent, enter then-freshman quarterback Anthony Colandrea.
Only a couple short weeks remain until the official start of fall. As brightly colored leaves begin to decorate the Lawn, the hot, easy summer days give way to cool autumn breezes as students rush to and from classes. The season of hot coffee, cozy sweaters, and quiet evenings in the library, for many students, fall is the perfect time to romanticize their studies. These three books — all of which take place in school settings — are perfect seasonal reading for those ready to throw themselves into the academic spirit.
I love a good laugh, and U.Va. Today certainly does too. Earlier this week, the outlet published an article describing a survey which crowned the University as the number one school for free speech. This is a shocking achievement for the University to receive after such a divisive end to last semester. However, moving past initial surprise, this article displays a new reputation of which the University seeks to convince its student body — namely, that it is a bastion of free speech. Every university legally reserves the right to set its own regulations on the time, place and manner of student speech. Yet, if the University brazenly seeks to tout the strength of free speech on Grounds, they need to engage with students who have felt othered and antagonized by these same regulations. In short, by announcing this award without addressing its failures to uphold free speech, the University consciously sidesteps the myriad conflicts between itself and the free expression of students on Grounds.
The Cavaliers took the field in their first ACC road game of 2024 at Wake Forest, and won an instant classic. For the first time since the days of Matt Schaub and Heath Miller, Virginia (2-0, 1-0 ACC) won on the road against the Demon Deacons (1-1, 0-1 ACC). Senior receiver Malachi Fields had 11 catches for 148 yards en route to an exhilarating victory.
Virginia men’s soccer fell 1-0 to Duke in its opening ACC game Friday at Klöckner Stadium. The lone score came via a Cavalier (2-2-1, 0-1-0 ACC) own goal turned in by junior defender Nick Dang. The Blue Devils’ (3-1-1, 1-0-0) cross had seemed, as Dang swung his foot, to be going anywhere but the net. Instead it went backward, shanked across the line and proved to be the decisive moment in Virginia’s home defeat.
Virginia field hockey played their first home game of the season against Temple Friday. The Cavaliers (2-0, 0-0 ACC) were able to hold off the Owls (2-1, 0-0 Big East) en route to a dominant 7-0 win at University Hall Turf Field.
The Cavaliers took their show on the road from Wednesday to Friday for an opportunity few and far between for most college athletic programs. Within a matter of days, they went from meandering around Grounds and putting in a hefty tally of practice hours to finding themselves halfway across the world in Japan for the Pan-Pacific UGSL Tournament. Ultimately, Virginia emerged victorious.
In an email statement sent to the University community Friday, University President Jim Ryan and Ian Baucom, executive vice president and provost, wrote that an unknown individual vandalized an Israeli flag hanging in Rouss-Robertson Hall, home to the University’s McIntire School of Commerce.

Virginia women’s soccer came away as the 1-0 victors in its away matchup with VCU Thursday, as the Cavaliers (6-0-0, 0-0-0 ACC) grabbed a late winner via junior forward Maggie Cagle to subdue the Rams (0-5-0, 0-0-0 Atlantic 10). Despite a slow start, Virginia found a path to victory against a surprisingly tough VCU defense.
