The Beta Bridge near the university's fraternities and sororities has been painted in Love's memory.
Justin S. Smith, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues evaluated the effect of age on the incidence of complications and outcomes related to surgery in patients with scoliosis.
To honor the anniversary of Love's death, Glamour magazine is launching Tell Somebody, a campaign to help raise awareness of the often unreported incidence of relationship abuse, a phenomenon that kills four women a day in the United States alone.
Love's death prompted change in the state's protective order law. It now applies to couples who are dating or not married. A person can now get an order through general district court, instead of juvenile domestic relations court and the individual does not have to have a criminal warrant.

U.Va.'s Michael Pace, James Coloso and David Seekell along with other scientist,

A symposium focused on higher education teaching and sent an unambiguous message: It is time for every professor to pay heed to what, and how, their students are learning.
The plan includes a goal to reduce the university's greenhouse gas emissions. It calls for emissions to be cut by 25 percent from 2009 levels by 2025.
