That may explain why the Harvard Management Company report prompted some further thinking. Compared to the results of some schools with smaller endowments (University of Virginia, 49%, Brown 51.5%, Dartmouth 46.5%, Duke 56%), why did HMC earn “only” 33.6% on its portfolio?
As a prominent connection on the University of Virginia's campus and a designated entrance corridor for the City of Charlottesville, construction for Ivy Corridor is underway. The formerly underutilized site includes four blocks of property along Ivy Road between the Ivy-Emmet intersection and Copeley Road and is a key connector between the University's North Grounds and Central Grounds.

University of Virginia officials on Tuesday announced that three parcels of university-owned properties are being considered as potential project sites for developing affordable housing.
The company was founded in 2010 by UVA graduate students and now holds more than 38 global patents and patent applications.
(Co-written by Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology and director of the National Marriage Project) According to the U.S. Census, the average American couple gets married around the age of 30. Many young adults believe that forming unions closer to that age reduces their risk of divorce, and, indeed, there is research consistent with that belief. But we also have evidence suggesting that religious Americans are less likely to divorce, even as they are more likely to marry younger than 30.
Dec. 15, 2020 was a day of hope, a day when the light at the tunnel’s end seemed more like sunshine than an oncoming train. That was the day when, after nearly a year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the very first vaccines were being injected into the arms of health care workers in Charlottesville. “That day was filled with so much excitement. It was a tangible sense of relief,” said Justin Vesser, who administered the first doses of vaccine to UVA health care workers.
(By Amanda Christine West, M.S. in Data Science alumna) Data science is cool, and yet I don’t think anyone who was a kid in the 2000s or earlier dreamt of doing it when they grew up.
Smith’s status as an everyday player, along with him perhaps being cut slack for being thrown into unexpected duty, proved to be decisive. He ended up winning a clear majority of the votes cast, getting 64% of the vote.
Wu has carved out a path in the tightly controlled film industry, not by pushing political boundaries but by creating excitement out of the party’s ideology. “Wu Jing represents a particular muscular, nationalist vision of the party state that is acceptable to the party,” said Aynne Kokas, an expert on Chinese cinema with the University of Virginia. “It’s a sweet spot in the Chinese market that the films can be approved by regulators to a degree, but they also are appealing to audiences.”
While women are not filling the leadership roles traditionally held by men, “women’s positions are being expanded” including more speaking time during the church’s worldwide conferences, said Kathleen Flake, an expert on the faith and religious studies professor at the University of Virginia.
“Work with parents can be challenging because it is not unusual for parents to become defensive or feel their child is being treated unfairly,” said Dewey Cornell, a forensic clinical psychologist and professor of education at the University of Virginia, in an email. Dewey has developed an evidence-based model of school threat assessment used in schools across the United States and Canada.
(Podcast) Raj Venkatesan is co-author of the new book The AI Marketing Canvas and a professor of marketing at the University of Virginia. This week he joined me on the On Brand podcast for a timely discussion about artificial intelligence and marketing—how should we be thinking about it and what should we be planning for the new year ahead.
Dr. William A. Petri, an immunologist at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, answers this week’s reader questions on COVID-19.
Kathleen Schiro, a climatologist at the UVA Department of Environmental Sciences, says these types of storms are alarming. “It’s very concerning,” she said. “It’s something that impacts us all, not just in our communities but as a nation, across seasons. We have reason to be thinking about how our actions are contributing to severe conductive outbreaks like the ones we just saw.”
Getting vaccinated is the strongest defense against COVID-19, but what if you can’t get vaccinated? The FDA issued an emergency use authorization for monoclonal antibody treatment which can be given to those who are immunocompromised or have had severely adverse reactions to a vaccine. “That is the first drug we can give you before you get exposed to COVID-19 to prevent you from getting sick,” Patrick Jackson, an assistant professor of infectious disease at the University of Virginia. The drug, an injection, works before a COVID-19 exposure and lasts for six months. The treatment is only for t...
Speaking on the prospects of detecting emerging strains and variants, Dr Mami Taniuchi, associate professor from the University of Virginia said, “We are establishing a robust system to track circulating strains and variants of SARS-CoV-2. We initiated the work and are presently analysing the data. Hopefully, these insights will also help identify changes in transmission more accurately and help strengthen public health measures and surveillance for COVID-19.”
A new technological development can help physicians spot blood clots in patients with COVID-19 who are at risk of organ failure, researchers reported in Nature Communications. Their novel tool, which utilizes advanced imaging, may be able to measure platelets and potentially prevent deadly clots from forming. “People knew from autopsy data that multi-organ microvascular thrombosis is a factor in COVID-19 related deaths, but the underlying physiology with regards to platelet aggregates and morphology was an unknown,” Gustavo Rohde, a professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Virg...
Physicians treating coronavirus infections have a new diagnostic that could help identify patients at risk of organ failure. Keisuke Goda, University of Tokyo professor of chemistry, led the study of microvascular thrombosis in COVID-19 patients admitted to the University of Tokyo Hospital. Gustavo Rohde, UVA professor of biomedical engineering and electrical and computer engineering, conducted data and image analysis of the patients’ blood samples.
