Campus Calendar

The 30th Annual Community Spring Swing golf tournament, hosted by UVA Wise Alumni Association with major corporate sponsor Ballad Health/Norton Community Hospital, is set for Friday, April 11, 2025, at the picturesque Lonesome Pine Country Club in Big Stone Gap.

From Virginia’s first professional contemporary circus company, comes MetaMORPHOsis, a performance that celebrates the life cycle of the Morpho butterfly. For the original production at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in 2019, Host of Sparrows Aerial Circus worked with an arborist to create a beautifully choreographed show of aerial silks artists suspended from a mighty oak tree—32 feet in the air. MetaMORPHOsis celebrates the beauty in the life cycle of the butterfly. Each performer creatively interprets the journey of the caterpillar emerging from the egg, to cocoon, and then the magnificent transformation into a beautiful butterfly.

The Nest is hosting Side Hustle Market, a farmers market style event where entrepreneurs, idealists, and creatives of all kinds can sell or market a product, gather info and feedback on a future product, share or test an idea, pitch for crowdfunding or support, etc.

Julius Rodriguez defies context. You might find him in a packed jazz haunt behind the piano with energy surging from his fingers. You could scroll social media and catch him alternating between drums, bass, and guitar at the speed of a jump cut. You might step onto festival grounds and see him on stage jamming like his life depends on it. No matter where, the New York-born and Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer electrifies any stage—transcending perceived boundaries between genres and styles, redefining music to mirror his own fluid creative inclinations, and delivering a sound that's his alone.
