Alas, I'm on the waitlist.

Hey #UVA, has anyone successfully registered for the Ketanji Brown Jackson lecture?

GPAs aren’t standardized.

That number doesn’t show grades, courses, or trends. That info is found on the transcript and is reviewed in the context of what the student’s school offers and how assessments are made there.

JJ Davis just started her segment of the faculty meeting by acknowledging that some know her for her snow day announcements.

(I love those emails!)

There’s nothing more frustrating than working with a vendor who doesn’t think they’re a vendor.

This vague message brought to you by a product webinar with no data. We don’t buy things off ✨vibes✨.

I think each location is independently owned now, but one of the local foodies would know for certain.

I think they might be individually owned? I couldn’t find a website or any contact info for the one on 14th.

Yep.

Three of my staff members were just treated abominably at the pizza place on the Corner.

After a litany of outrageous comments, the guy behind the counter said “we serve men first” as he rung up a man who arrived after them and gave him something for free.

Never going there again.

*cries in no edit button* 🤣

I know the students will have a harder time with the exercise this year because the writing is somewhat grand, but I really hope they see the difference. (3/3)

This year, a colleague whose spouse has the paid version of ChatGPT helped me update my examples. The AI writing was so overly dramatic and formulaic in structure that we were laughing. (2/3)

I’ve been doing and “AI vs human” writing exercise with students for the last two years. The first year, when AI was new, they had a hard time. Last year, after one year of exposure, they all spotted the AI immediately. (1/3)

Lots of Augustinians and some Villanova people in the Friends list.

VIRGINIA ATHLETICS: "Our Place" YouTube video by Virginia Sports TV

Came across this @virginiasports.bsky.social video on youtube. THAT VOICE has a big smile on my face. If you know, you know.

(If you don't, it's a beloved Hoo, Dawn Staley.)

Probably! Good luck to them if they think we can be talked into that! They offer 8 plans and the cost doubles as you go up.

The only way to get next year's pricing for a product we already use is to book a zoom meeting with them or watch a 30 minute, scripted webinar. This from a vendor almost every high school and all colleges work with.

I'm exhausted. Just email the info.

Celebrity endorsements don't prompt any reaction from me with the exception of Dawn Staley. Do I need supplemental insurance after all?

That wasn't GD. It was The Warlocks. 😉

The student member of the UVA Board of Visitors, Lisa Kopelnik, just quoted her acceptance letter in her farewell remarks. 🥹

A sign for Feast taking over The Garden Room at UVA

The counter at Feast, a sandwich shop inside The Garden Room at UVA. The sign says “Feed Your Curiosity Feast”

A sandwich and salad from Feast

The Garden Room/Hotel E was a faculty dining room when I first got to UVA. I went once and was intimidated.

Feast, a sandwich/food market took over the space recently.

How does an admission officer know it’s March? The eye twitch comes back.

Petition to start #UVA Spring Break today.

Hello, hello! Been here a while, but the students have me on other apps. 😁

Heyyyy! Thanks for the town hall recap.

Admission friends, @nacac.bsky.social’s Angel Perez is on @pbsnews.org right now talking about the Dear Colleague letter.

The older I get, the shorter I want my bio to be when I'm introduced.

Jamie Luckie isn’t even there. What is this? #uva

Don’t keep us hanging! What did you get?
