If you asked me about turning 20, having to pay renter’s insurance or no longer going to the pediatrician for my annual checkups a year ago, I would have laughed at these milestones that seemed lightyears away. Yet as one month stands before me and going back to Charlottesville for my second-year, the concept of “adulthood” and the fact that childhood is a thing of the past is becoming dauntingly clear. This summer, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on who I am, who I have been and who I may become. Despite the looming uncertainty of the future, this summer has given me grace and time to learn to embrace change and grow.

Transfer students are an essential part of the University’s student community, oftentimes diversifying the socioeconomic composition of the University. The University’s transfer program admits a cohort of around 100 transfer students per year. However, while current programs do exist to aid transfer students, such efforts have failed to accommodate transfer students' social needs, negatively affecting their mental health and academic experiences. As transfers navigate an unconventional college experience, it is imperative that the University creates more accessible programming that fully incorporates transfer students into the fabric of our community.

With several key contributors and prized freshman recruits having entered their names into the 2024 MLB Draft, Virginia’s roster has undergone significant changes. Gone are mainstays Griff O’Ferrall, Ethan Anderson, Casey Saucke and Anthony Stephan — to the Orioles, White Sox and Reds, respectively. Talented signees Caleb Bonemer, Bryce Meccage and Luke Dickerson were drafted highly and will likely forgo their college eligibility. Meanwhile, the future of a few more prospects is uncertain, but some are likely to play for the Cavaliers. The drafted players are all entering unique situations, but they are doing so with a sprinkle of hope that they will produce at the major league level and further promote the pristine reputation of Coach Brian O’Connor’s program.

Now, the Cavaliers appear well-positioned to finally get back to postseason dominance.

Every year, from the final whistle of the Super Bowl through to the end of August, football fans across the country grapple with the inability to watch their favorite game played at a high level. There have been many attempts at starting springtime football leagues, but very few have lasted. Whether it be the Alliance of American Football, which lasted only eight weeks before financial insolvency, or the multiple attempts made by the XFL and the United States Football League — now merged as the United Football League — to gain a foothold in the market, there have been no cases of a spring or summertime football league turning a profit.

The Theta Chi fraternity had its Fraternal Organization Agreement terminated after Student Affairs deemed that hazing misconduct in violation of University policy took place in March, the office revealed July 2. The Hazing Misconduct Report also affirmed the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity’s FOA termination — which was announced in April after reports of hazing that led the national organization disaffiliating with the fraternity — and referred Pi Lambda Phi fraternity and Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity’s cases to the University Judiciary Committee.

Ever since I became a student at the University, I have loathed the idea of spending a summer in Charlottesville. To me, summer should be reserved for soaking up as much sunshine as possible, relaxing at the beach and getting around to reading all the books I have accumulated over the year — extra time at the University always seemed like the opposite of that. However, after spending time on Grounds this summer and appreciating the natural beauty of my surroundings, I am beginning to fall back in love with the University.

After another disappointing appearance at the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., the 2024 season is officially over for Virginia baseball. There were a plethora of highs and lows, from series sweeps and broken records to big games lost and goals not met. Through all of it, however, the Cavaliers’ (46-17, 18-12 ACC) season was an absolute success — after a tremendous regular season, they won the Charlottesville Regional and Super Regional without losing a game and were largely carried by young talent that will be returning in 2025.

Fifteen present and former Virginia athletes littered the sprawling 10-day United States Olympic Track and Field Trials, which concluded Sunday in Eugene, Ore. Some harbored fervent hopes of qualification, and others toted only the faintest of dreams. But ultimately, one Cavalier qualified for the Paris Olympics. The week and a half of intense competition whittled the flock of entrants to a handful of Olympians, and Class of 2019 alumna Bridget Williams was among them, winning the pole vault competition to reach her first Olympic games.

In stark contrast to the conditions of the pandemic, in which the University required constant technology use to continue its courses, the University began piloting new no-screen classes — coined technology sabbaticals — this summer. The classes give students an opportunity to learn a subject without using traditional technology with the goal of encouraging students to “develop a more thoughtful relationship with their devices,” according to the University’s Summer Technological Sabbatical website.

For the second year in a row, the Cavaliers were the first team booted from the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. via an 0-2 sweep to bring a sour end to a successful 2024 campaign. Any postseason defeat hurts, but knowing those were the final games for the star duo of junior infielder Griff O’Ferrall and junior utility player Ethan Anderson will make the losses sting even more. The MLB Draft, which runs July 14-16, will mark the official departure of that tandem, with at least a few 2024 recruits joining them. However, despite the loss of two leaders, expanding the list of Cavaliers in the professional ranks is always worth celebrating.

For the 10th time in the Tony Bennett era, a former Cavalier was selected in the NBA Draft. Ryan Dunn was selected 28th overall in the first round by the Phoenix Suns and will be going to a playoff team full of All-Star talents in Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.
