randi Durkac (Col ’00) grew up hearing her parents’ stories about the joys of B college life—and about the importance of education and generosity. “Giving is now a habit,” she said. And for Durkac, giving and family go together.

As an undergraduate, she forged a strong friendship with distant relative Charles Julian Bishko (1904–2002), an admired professor of history who taught at UVA for 39 years. EXPERIENCES OF A LIFETIME Professor Bishko’s expertise in Spanish and Portuguese history impressed Durkac. She was able to spend a semester abroad herself in Seville. “It changed my world Charles Julian Bishko, view,” she said. “I had so many formative experiences there. Out-of-the-local-box David T. Gies and experience is critical for students.” Brandi Durkac (left to right) Other highlights of Durkac’s time on Grounds include classes with Spanish professor David T. Gies, athletics participation and lifelong friendships made with sorority sisters. It changed my world view…

MAKING THE CONNECTION Her connection with Bishko grew during Durkac’s college years and continued afterwards. When Bishko passed away, Durkac learned that he’d remembered her in his will. To her surprise, the gift was nearly the exact amount of her student debt.

The synchronicity was obvious—and motivated her to include UVA in her own will.

“I always wanted to give to AccessUVA,” said Durkac, who had benefited from AccessUVA support.

Now Durkac’s connection to Professor Bishko is touching new lives, linking UVA students with the resources to pursue their own life-changing experiences.

photographed by ANDREW SHURTLEFF fter more than four years and about $58 million of repairs and restoration work, the Rotunda will appear to the naked eye much as it did before ren- aovations began. But change it has. Thousands of hours of work went into repairing the leaky roof, stabilizing the building and marrying Jefferson’s original designs (and some of Stan- ford White’s) with modern building technology. What’s more, UVA’s preservationists didn’t just want to restore the building; they wanted to bring it back to life. “I think it’s a sin that there are people who have graduated from the University in the last 70, 80 years, who have never set foot in the building,” says historical preservation architect Jody Lahendro (Arch ’82). Jefferson designed the building as a functional academic space—it was a library, not a museum—so increas- ing the building’s usability was the thing most dear to the design team, Lahendro says. Crews enhanced the building’s power, wireless internet and cell data resources. They added televisions on wheels and digital projectors, reclaimed office spaces as classrooms and placed plush furniture in the Dome Room balcony. Students will be able to study here well into the evening, and they can sip coffee while doing so. What follows is a look at how the Rotunda is now a building fit for a 21st-century university.

Stairwell Anyone who attended an event in the Rotunda prerenovation knows how sound traveled up and down the staircases in the building; you couldn’t walk on one floor without hearing (quite clearly) what was going on above or below. Most of that sound will be blocked now, thanks in part to the simple, more straightforward design of the new stairwells that omits the landing space of the previous design. Even if there’s an animated Board of Visitors meeting on this floor, students can still study in a relatively quiet Dome Room upstairs.

Unpainted Hallway The arched hallway under the south portico stairs sees a lot of foot traffic throughout the school year, and during the restoration, it held construction materials. Workers repaired the cracks and gave it a fresh coat of paint.

Capitals Sixteen new capitals—10 for the south portico and six for the north—were re- created from Jefferson’s specifications by Pedrini Sculpture Studio in Carrara, Italy. Craftspeople from the studio visited Grounds in fall 2013 to examine the remnants and historical photos of Jefferson’s original Corinthian capitals. They cleaned larger remnants to match marble colors and original carving details, then made laser scans to generate a 3-D model of a historically accurate capital. From the digital 3-D model, a computer-controlled lathe carved about 90 percent of each capital from an approximately 4-foot, 9,000-pound cube of Carrara marble. Pedrini’s craftspeople added details and finishing touches by hand before the 3-ton capitals were installed atop 25-foot concrete columns.

Capital Bases In the final restoration phases, crews worked on replacing the cracked, disintegrated stone at the bases of the Rotunda portico columns. They cut out slivers of the bad stone and patched the gaps with new, harder stone.

They’re modeled after the room’s original capitals, which were carved from Maine white pine by Philip Sturtevant of Richmond, and are more detailed than the plaster capitals installed during the 1976 renovation. The pine capitals perished in the 1895 fire, so preservationists and artisans looked to pre-fire photos of the Dome Room and other examples of Sturtevant’s work to create a clay model of the original capitals. They also referenced letters from 1824 between Sturtevant and Arthur S. Brockenbrough, supervisor of University construction, which include details on Jefferson’s specifications for the capitals.

That room—hearth and all—is now a visitor center featuring artifacts of early University life, such as the Rotunda bell and a photograph of bell ringer Henry Martin, and exhibits on topics such as the history of slavery at the University.

Courtyards The Rotunda’s west courtyard is an open space with loose tables and chairs, and while no fountain is planned, there’s space to build one later. The east courtyard is intended as a quiet, contemplative space—it gets morning light and afternoon sun—with four curved benches and water tumbling over an invisible-edge marble fountain. Shrubbery and small trees will be planted later this year, says Hogg.

30 UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA • FALL 2016 Dome Room To make a new, smoother Dome Room ceiling, workers cut rectangular pieces of porous backing board to fit around its curved surface. Metal channels hold the backer board a few inches off the terra-cotta tile dome, giving some air space between the plaster and the structural dome. Workers painstakingly applied perforated acoustical plaster to the backer board and covered the plaster with a very thin finish to achieve a smooth, rounded look. The plaster will help manage noise in the room, but it won’t reduce all of the echoes; the Whispering Gallery still works.

In “Epic Misadventure,” Miller Center scholar Marc Selverstone recounts the hard lessons John F. Kennedy learned from the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Two takeaways: “Examine contingencies that could go wrong,” and, a lesson JFK would learn for the next year’s Cuban Missile Crisis, “Allow adversaries a dignified retreat.” As Miller Center Director Bill Antholis puts it, “One disaster led to another success.” University of Texas at Austin’s Jeremi Suri tells the cautionary tale of a president who thought he could rely on his natural political gifts to improvise on foreign policy: “The president’s own scattered, overconfident and ever-shifting style transferred into his policy process, with damaging consequences for the country in the long term.” The president: Bill Clinton.

Their work aims to shed light on how the epigenome contributes to the way typical people respond to their social world, which will help the team better understand the epigenetic associations they’ve established with autism spectrum disorders, postpartum depression and schizophrenia. But how does all of this connect to those little prairie voles? They have parenting and mating behaviors remarkably similar to those of humans. When pups receive substandard parental care, it plays out in their social behavior—and sets up epigenetic marks on particular genes. Specifically, the UVA researchers measure oxytocin, the so-called love hormone that promotes bonding and feelings of contentment, and reduces anxiety. They found that voles raised by two parents who spend little time with them experience DNA methylation—picture it as a chemical cap placed on a DNA molecule—at the oxytocin receptor gene. “Methylation turns down the gene,” rendering it less effective, says Kelly Wroblewski (Grad ’20), a psychology Ph.D. candidate who works with Connelly. Those pups cannot properly process the hormone, causing them higher stress—and the malfunction continues into their adulthood, when they have trouble finding mates and can’t properly bond with or care for their own pups, researchers found. For the gene that Connelly and Wroblewski study, humans have the same DNA methylation sites as do voles. “In humans, we look at how those sites vary by individual and relate that to

NCAA tournaments The University of Virginia continues to dominate tennis. 13 Coach Brian Boland’s men won their second consecutive NCAA championship this year, Final Four appearances their third in four years. Only four other programs have repeated since 1966. For the women, Danielle Collins (Col ’16) prevailed as this year’s NCAA singles champion, 4 as she did in 2014, becoming the seventh woman with two national titles. NCAA championships at UVA As trophies, and new recruits, continue to come its way, UVA has begun plans for a world-class tennis venue. The Board of Visitors in April discussed a preliminary proposal for a 12-court outdoor tennis stadium at the University-affiliated Boars Head Inn west of 3 Grounds, an estimated $12 million project, the Cavalier Daily reported. Coach of the Year awards from U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Success didn’t come overnight. Boland arrived in 2002 to take over an unranked team.

Over the course of the seminar, students discuss specific episodes in conjunction with political theory, history, sociology and psychology readings. “In many ways I learned more about American politics in that class than I did in my some of my actual politics classes,” says Lena Richards (Col ’15), a media studies major who took the course in her third year. “Breaking Bad is a rewriting of a very early American story,” Little says. Students in his class read The Real American Dream: A Meditation on Hope by Andrew Delbanco, which traces the idea of the American Dream to the Puritans. “He argues that for all their elitism, the Puritans embraced this idea of a very mysterious, transcendent God,” Little says. “That’s the real American Dream, this idea of investment in something larger than yourself.” At the start of the series, Little says, “Walter White is a Puritan. He wants to cook pure meth. He wants to escape the corruption of Albuquerque and so goes in the desert, just as the Puritans moved to the New World.” But Walter ultimately becomes a living embodiment of the corruption of the American Dream. “The American Dream has become very materialistic and self-oriented; it involves commitment to prosperity for the aggrandizement of self.
