It’s no surprise that the near year and a half of pandemic guidelines and online classes has had a major toll on University operations, even as the new normal of the fall semester begins. Some classes were hit harder than most when the University first shut down — namely those that are heavily centered around physical in- teraction. Classes in the kinesiology pro- gram, labs and small discussions were thrown off when the pandemic first hit in the spring of 2020. With a heavy reliance on movement, inter- action and close proximity to other students, professors conducting in- teractive classes had to adapt their teaching styles to an online and so- cially distanced format. Assoc. Politics Prof. Jennifer Rubenstein has always welcomed close interactions and fluidity among her students in the class- room, but she feels as though that sense of closeness was quickly lost over Zoom. For Rubenstein, a major part of a comprehensive and mean- ingful class discussion involves var- ious body language movements and nuanced gestures that occur during face-to-face interaction. “I really find that whether it’s just discussion, or the whole group is COURTESY CARMEN MEW talking, or whether its small groups or whether its people sort of demon- Fourth-year Engineering student Tae Chang and fourth-year College student Eric Su practice their swings on the driving range during Golf class. strating a position on an issue … it’s really helpful for the vast majority this semester is we have these little learning and practice.

Off Grounds, SPORTS Thursday, September 2, 2021 | 7 A deep dive into Virginia football’s 2021 schedule How do the Cavaliers match up against their opponents?

Ben Anderson | Associate Writer

The calendar is turning to September, students are back on Grounds and the Bodo’s line is out the door. That can only mean one thing in Charlottesville — Virginia football is back. Fans and athletes alike are ecstatic about the 2021 sea- son, especially after a disjointed and mostly energy-free 2020. But there is a question still to be answered — which teams have the displeasure of lining up against the Cavaliers? Let’s take a closer look at Virginia football’s 2021 schedule.

Home vs. William & Mary, Sept. 4 The Cavaliers open their slate with a traditional in-state rival, al- beit one from the FCS ranks. Addi- tionally, former Virginia head coach Mike London is now the coach of the Tribe, which adds yet another wrin- kle to the matchup. Overall, though, this should not be too hard of a game for the Cavaliers, and I expect to see some future stars get reps in the sec- ond half of a blowout.

Home vs. Illinois, Sept. 11 The Fighting Illini have the- dis COURTESY VIRGINIA ATHLETICS tinction of being the only team to have played a game at the time this Virginia looks to improve on last year’s 5-5 performance, which ended in a frustrating loss to Virginia Tech. article was written, beating Nebraska 30-22 in an exciting win for first-year Coach Bret Bielema.

for conservation and propagation of native species, the gardens are watched carefully by a plant health care specialist who works with the Integrated Pest Management system. This position is currently vacant as the former specialist, Mike Henrietta, retired a few months ago. In assigning someone to this post, facilities ensure that chemical pesticides are only used as a last resort for pest control. Additionally, the University maintains its status as a certified Bee Campus through Bee City USA, an initiative of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. This means that it is a part of a concerted effort among universities to help fix the pollinator problem, which refers to the loss of pollinators like bees — a critical link in our food source chain — due to habitat destruction, decreases in native species and urban- ization. Looking to the future, Rich- ard Hopkins, associate director of Grounds, said he hopes the gardens will soon become more accessible. “The Gardens are very stable in appearance due to us holding to a design created 70 years ago,” Hopkins said. “What is changing is making the BRIGITTE MEYER | THE CAVALIER DAILY Gardens more accessible to people with mobility issues.

Health aims to address the increase in nurse turnover rates and the subsequent rise in stress levels for remaining staff

Alina Jiang | Staff Writer

The healthcare labor market across the country is struggling with a nursing shortage. Facing the insecurity in preserving the present workforce, U.Va. Health will offer a bonus to nurses in order to prevent additional turn- over. Eric Swensen, U.Va. Health public information officer, ex- plained that all non-management nurses hired on or before April 4, who have provided frontline, patient-facing care during the last fiscal year and work 20 or more hours per week are eligible for the bonus. Full-time nurses working 30 or more hours per week will receive a $3,000 bonus while part-time nurses working 20 to 29 hours per week will re- ceive a $1,500 bonus. The deci- sion was announced on July 16, and the bonus will be offered one-time, starting on Aug. 13. For Jackie Keller, a full-time registered nurse in the pediatric intensive care unit at the Uni- versity Hospital, the decision was “awesome and amazing.” As a frontline worker during the pan- demic, Keller is relieved to see the University starting to give back to those who had risked their personal health to keep others safe. However, Keller be- lieves that the University Hos- pital needs to give more back to everyone who has been on the front lines. “I think that there are more ANISHA HOSSAIN | THE CAVALIER DAILY people, other than the nurses, who should be getting some of from the University of Califor- of 19.1 percent, while the average more than employed RNs.
