📈 STOCK UP

🔼  Mark Your Calendar! Virginia football has announced that it will play a non-conference matchup against James Madison at Scott Stadium in 2028!

The contest will be the fifth-ever meeting between James Madison and Virginia. The two teams met for the first time in 40 years in the 2023 UVA home opener. The all-time series is locked at two games apiece and all four previous games have taken place in Charlottesville.

🔼  Golfing Glory! Virginia men’s golfers Paul Chang and Ben James have been named as two of the 10 finalists for the 2026 Fred Haskins Award!

🔼  Commitment To Service! Even those who’ve known her for years marvel at how much Shelby Bavin packs into each day.

“I don’t know if she sleeps,” said former Virginia football standout Connor Hughes, one of the leaders of the Athletes in Action ministry on Grounds.

Bavin has heard many versions of that sentence. “I definitely do sleep,” she said, laughing.

Maybe so, but she doesn’t have much down time during her waking hours. And that’s fine with Bavin, who as an undergraduate majored in global security and justice, with a minor in Middle Eastern studies.

🔼  Postseason Push! Virginia track and field is headed to the NCAA East First Round!

For the first time ever: Virginia Cavaliers football heads to Rio de Janeiro. And so can you! On August 29, 2026, Virginia takes on NC State Wolfpack football at Nilton Santos Stadium in the FIRST-EVER FBS college football game played in South America.
