Recently, some Americans have not been able to find physicians because the medical profession as a whole is suffering from a shortage of doctors. These shortages have emerged in the context of increased retirement rates which have been exasperated by pandemic-induced burnout among physicians. But perhaps most concerning is a decrease in the number of applicants for medical school. Such statistics indicate that physician shortages are not a short-term problem confined to this decade but rather a systemic issue which must be combatted. At various prestigious medical schools across the nation, donors have worked to combat this decrease with donations earmarked to make medical education free. University donors must follow suit. Donations which work to fundamentally reduce, if not entirely eliminate, the cost of attendance at the University’s School of Medicine will not only make medical education more affordable but also ensure a stronger future for healthcare in America.

During the 2024 summer session, the University began piloting technology-free classes. Coined “Summer Technology Sabbaticals,” the goal of these courses was to encourage students to develop more “thoughtful relationships with their devices.” Students were required to refrain from using any form of technology during class and for a recommended time outside of the classroom. These sabbaticals are not only a unique addition to summer session courses but also have the potential to transform the methods which professors use to cultivate a modern classroom environment. In order to reach the full potential of this practice, technology sabbaticals should be extended beyond the summer session and adopted by professors on a regular basis.

Virginia men’s soccer took down Rider 3-0 Thursday, delivering a victory to Klöckner Stadium to kick off a new season of soccer for the Cavaliers (1-0, 0-0 ACC). Earlier this offseason, a slew of transfers and freshmen were added to replace several key contributors who had departed for the professionals. Junior defender Nick Dang, a Lipscomb transfer, got a spot in the starting lineup and made a significant impact, consistently disrupting the Broncs (0-1, 0-0 Metro). Excluding goalkeepers, Dang tied for the team lead with an incredible 87 minutes played. Combined with talented returners, these new-look Cavaliers blended well en route to a comfortable win where they were in control the entire game.

Coming off another disappointing season, Virginia football needs a good year to reverse the program’s nosedive.

One of the best parts about being a Virginia fan is watching players grow into their full potential and achieve their dreams of competing at a higher level. While it may be heartbreaking to say goodbye to star players, their exit opens the door for new talent to arrive.

Following a 2-0 win over Towson Thursday, Virginia women’s soccer continued its dominance at Klöckner Stadium with another 2-0 victory against Northwestern Sunday afternoon. Despite an identical score to Virginia’s season opener, Sunday’s game unfolded very differently. The Cavaliers fired on all cylinders against Towson, putting up 24 shots and 12 on target, but they mustered just nine total shots and one on target against Northwestern. However, by shutting out the Wildcats (1-1-0, 0-0-0 Big Ten), the Cavaliers (2-0-0, 0-0-0 ACC) still have not given up a goal in the 2024 season.

With the 2024 Virginia football season less than two weeks out, it is time to take a peek at their slate of opponents. The Cavaliers only kept half of their opponents from their 2023 campaign, meaning there will be a lot of new teams coming to town. Plus, the ever-changing nature of college football means there will always be new excitement with each matchup.

Graduate midfielder Laughlin Ryan suffered an ACL tear before ever playing in a regular season game for Virginia women’s soccer in 2020. The injury was a crushing blow, as she then had to rehabilitate her knee before continuing to adjust to the intensity of collegiate soccer. Going into the 2021 season, Ryan was finally able to play until she suffered a second ACL tear, this time on her left knee. This was followed by yet another ACL tear on her right knee in 2022. But now, after stepping back onto the field in 2023, Ryan is ready to prove herself and take her team to the postseason and beyond.

Virginia women’s soccer opened their season against Towson at Klöckner Stadium Thursday night, and the Cavaliers (1-0-0, 0-0-0 ACC) cruised to a 2-0 win over the Tigers (0-0-1, 0-0-0 CAA). While Virginia could have been more ruthless with its 24 shots and 12 shots on target, the home side controlled the proceedings throughout and never looked like losing the match.

Joe Harris, who spent four seasons at Virginia from 2011-2014, officially retired from professional basketball Thursday after spending a decade in the NBA with three franchises, most memorably his tenure with the Brooklyn Nets. Harris is one of the most successful alumni in Coach Tony Bennett’s career at Virginia, having played in 504 career NBA games and securing a victory in the 2019 NBA All-Star weekend three-point shooting contest over Stephen Curry. Harris generated $92 million in career earnings and is known as one of the best shooters in recent NBA history.

The best time of the year is almost here. College football is returning to Charlottesville as the Cavaliers take on Richmond Aug. 31 at 6 p.m. Hordes of fans wearing Virginia jerseys, orange crop tops, boots or items from previous giveaways will flood the lower levels of Scott Stadium for year three of the Coach Tony Elliott era. From information about home games to specifics about our team, here’s what you need to know about the 137th edition of Cavalier football.

As the clock expired on Virginia Tech’s 38-point clobbering of Virginia last November, the Cavalier fans who were still inside Scott Stadium witnessed something putrid. Thousands of traveling Hokies supporters, many of whom were students, stormed the field in Charlottesville to celebrate their win and bask in the humiliation of their archrival. Two years earlier, they did the same thing.

After a 2023 campaign in which a midseason dip in form prevented Virginia from reaching the ACC or NCAA tournaments for the first time in Coach Steve Swanson’s 24-year tenure, the Cavaliers will be looking to right the wrongs of their middling 8-3-6 season that saw them finish with a losing record in the ACC. With some exciting new players joining an already-talented Virginia squad, the Cavaliers are in a good position to be competitive in an ever-difficult ACC, which boasts seven teams within the preseason top-25 rankings.

Virginia women’s soccer is hoping to get back on track after a disappointing 2023 season, which saw the Cavaliers win only eight games — the lowest total since Coach Steve Swanson’s first season in Charlottesville in 2000 — and miss the ACC and NCAA postseason for the first time this century. Consequently, they are entering this season unranked in the national preseason poll for the first time this century, marking just the second occasion since 2011 in which Virginia has been ranked outside the preseason top 10. The Cavaliers will face a bevy of difficult opponents in 2024 as they look to prove themselves worthy of national consideration.

Gymnasts. Soccer goalies. Relay swimmers. I’ve marveled at the prowess of these athletes, and many others, over the past two weeks of the 2024 Paris Olympics. After watching four American women — including University swimmer Gretchen Walsh — win gold in the 4x100 medley relay and Mallory Swanson bring the United States to victory in the women’s soccer final, I’ve been thinking about the journey Olympic athletes take to get to their levels of greatness. They’ve dedicated themselves to a sport since they were young, and in doing so, they’ve just about perfected their craft.

The last 10 years of Virginia football have been unsatisfactory. The Cavaliers have stumbled to a 51-69 record, gone through three head coaches and managed only one winning season in the ACC. A program that once frequently contended for bowl games and national rankings in the late 20th century now views a .500 season as a success.
