In this week’s UVA Weekly episode, University of Virginia President Jim Ryan discusses changes to the spring semester schedule, and Provost Liz Magill explores how COVID-19 has spurred students, faculty and staff to explore new academic options and get creative.
Viewers also hear from Dr. Costi Sifri, the director of hospital epidemiology at UVA Health, who talks about a potential fall or winter surge in COVID-19 cases around the country and the continued importance of wearing a mask, maintaining safe distances from others and washing your hands.
Student host Davion Zeno invites students to explore new ways to get outside this fall, from the upcoming Fourth-Year 5K to visits to Charlottesville’s parks and trails, including many that are either within walking distance of Grounds or accessible via the bus system, free to students.
