You likely know about The Stonewall Inn, home of the 1969 riots that marked a key turning point in the modern fight for gay rights in the United States.

However, you might not know about the hundreds of other places in New York City that have played an important role in LGBTQ history, from one of America’s oldest gay bars, Julius,’ to grim sites like the street corner where Julio Rivera was murdered in a 1990 hate crime that sparked the first Queens Pride Parade.

Uncovering and recognizing those sites is the biggest and most rewarding part of Amanda Davis’s job.

They are a rarity for the University of Virginia School of Law: judges who are husband and wife.

Judge Raymond Jackson, a 1973 alumnus, sits on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, he was the first African-American federal judge to serve in South Hampton Roads.

A new ranking of master’s degrees in elementary education lists the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education as offering one of the top three such degrees in the nation.

By the time the NBA draft arrives on Thursday night, Devon Hall will have auditioned for nearly two-thirds of the league’s 30 teams.

Historians, political theorists, literary and media scholars and other humanities scholars from around the world gathered last week at the University of Virginia for a conference examining how big data and the new frontiers of new media technology introduced by Facebook, Google and other global companies have shaped and penetrated our daily lives.

New research from the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education has found that reviewing classroom video with coaches can help teachers significantly reduce preschoolers’ challenging behaviors in the classroom – behaviors that place young children at risk for academic difficulties down the road.

Although behavioral problems such as impulsivity and disruptiveness are not uncommon in preschool classrooms, teachers often lack the support and resources to manage these challenging behaviors effectively.

In the early 19^th century, American factory workers often labored for 12-hour shifts, six days a week, and weaver Cynthia Gleason was having trouble sleeping. That is, until Dr. Charles Poyen “mesmerized” the textile worker to sleep through the night and wake up at a specific time the next morning. No one could wake her until she woke up herself at 8 a.m.

It’s time to give these hard-working University of Virginia employees a standing ovation for their accomplishments and commitment to UVA. This year’s winners of the Leonard W. Sandridge Outstanding Contribution Awards have moved mountains to make improvements and moved the people whose lives they have touched. They are creative problem-solvers, willing to take on “herculean” tasks, as one nominator said, with expertise, dedication and a smile. They make the lives of students, faculty, staff and patients not just easier in their spheres of influence, but better overall.

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have linked sensitivity to an allergen in red meat – a sensitivity spread by tick bites – with a buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries of the heart. This buildup may increase the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
