With new classrooms, student research areas and sustainability-focused architecture, the new School of Data Science building will not only serve data science students and faculty, but act as a hub for interdisciplinary collaboration and research at the University. The SDS works to live up to its nickname as “a school without walls” through both the building’s open layout and the curriculum’s goal of promoting research and collaboration across disciplines.

Last month at the 2024 NCAA Championship, the Virginia women’s swimming and diving team secured its fourth straight national title — that achievement only extended the dynasty the program has been building for years. While they aren’t alone in winning four consecutive championships — Texas and Stanford won five straight titles in 1988 and 1996, respectively — Virginia may soon join those ranks in 2025. Made possible by top-notch recruiting, the program remains at the top of the sport despite constant key losses in personnel.

Most of us enter romantic, exclusive relationships hoping to find love — or at least some form of it. You might dream of finding someone who understands you perfectly, buys you flowers unprompted or gives you their jacket when you’re cold, even if they are too. But in the honeymoon phase, you may run into a problem — wondering the right time to say “I love you.”

In a small, unassuming building hidden behind a gas pump, Hunt Country Market & Deli serves my favorite sandwiches in Charlottesville. The take-out shop offers a variety of signature subs, all aptly named after racehorses in true horse-country fashion. Each sandwich is only $6.99 and is handmade as soon as you order. Hunt Country is the perfect spot to grab some lunch for a picnic, or my personal favorite — the best way to fight Foxfield famish.

This weekend, all three will officially be inducted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.

Even before the conclusion of Daniel Craig’s run as James Bond with 2021’s “No Time to Die,” there existed much chatter and conspiracy about which actor should follow in his footsteps. This conversation was revitalized in the past few months, catalyzed by the recent rumor that Aaron Taylor-Johnson — a British actor known for “Bullet Train” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron” — has been offered the role.

My mother embraces silence. She applies the philosophy of “being seen, not heard” to nearly everything. But while she shies away from using her voice, she makes her thoughts loud and clear through a different language — cooking.

Tucked away on Avon Street lies a hidden gem that invites the curious. Barbie’s Burrito Barn, a quaint and cozy eatery, serves up mouthwateringly authentic California Mexican food. Barbie’s is only a short 10-minute drive from Grounds and is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Tuesdays to Thursdays and until 7 p.m. Fridays. Barbie’s stands out as a restaurant with fare that is scrumptious yet affordable for college students on a budget. Dining there this past Tuesday emerged as the highlight of my week, leaving me thoroughly impressed and eager to return.

Did you know that, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act, public universities are not required to make existing facilities accessible for individuals with disabilities? It is unsurprising, then, but also exceptionally disappointing that the University is concerningly inaccessible — the lay-out of certain dorms and paths to class engender a culture of ableism. Most able-bodied students are not affected by these challenges because these inaccessible structures do not actively impede their daily lives. However, disabled students are deeply and continually affected by this caveat in the ADA. By limiting students with disabilities' access to the entirety of Grounds, the University limits access to the student experience on Grounds. In the absence of comprehensive legislation, the University must take responsibility for the inaccessibility of Grounds and work to promote accessibility for all students despite misguided laws.

The Honor Committee met Sunday in the second meeting of the 2024-2025 term to deliberate on the future of its sanctioning procedures, which will be guided by the newly established ad hoc Committee on sanctions — which is the subcommittee that has been tasked with evaluating sanctioning options and processes. The Honor Committee acknowledged the importance of filling the gap between restorative measures, like educational seminars, and punitive sanctions, like suspension and expulsion. The Committee also deliberated options for a generative Artificial Intelligence policy, agreeing to seek out community feedback to inform its decisions on AI usage.

Leo Afonso played his final game for Virginia men’s soccer in November. He left Charlottesville in December after being drafted by Inter Miami CF in the second round of the MLS SuperDraft. He was logging minutes for the first team by March, and by April, he had signed his first professional contract, made his first professional start and scored his first professional goal. Now, Afonso is sharing the field with a handful of world superstars less than half a year on from his time with the Cavaliers.

Their kicks are fast as lightning, their ascension to dominance is inspiring and their performance is electric and breathtaking.

For only the second time in program history, Virginia women’s tennis are ACC Regular Season co-champions thanks to a pair of back-to-back home victories this weekend against No. 19 Miami and No. 23 Florida State.

Virginia will share the regular season title with No. 4 North Carolina, as both teams are 12-1 in conference play.
