Founded in 1997, the Whethermen are the University of Virginia's oldest performing improv comedy group. This premier group formed after several performance-inclined students witnessed improv shows from other schools in a coffee shop (where Boylan Heights stands today) and decided that UVA needed an improv group of its own. Today, the Whethermen specialize in both long and short form improv, with scenes ranging anywhere from 5-30 minutes long. The Whethermen perform two major shows per semester at UVA as well as numerous other gigs, workshops, and intermissions throughout the year. We also perform at festivals at colleges all across the United States. Don't ask us if it's going to rain. We don't know either.

Carr's Hill is home to the President of the University of Virginia. Construction finished in 1909, during the first president's tenure. Every University president has lived in the home. The house was specifically designed to mimic the functionality of the Pavilions on the Lawn; the first floor is public-private space used by the President to host meetings and events with students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends of the University, as well as visiting dignitaries from around the Commonwealth and across the globe. As in the Pavilions, the President lives on the upper floors of the house.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register, Carr's Hill, designed by McKim, Mead & White, is an interesting study in architecture that reinterprets Jeffersonian classicism. The home sits on a rise bearing the same name, overlooking the University, and is nestled amongst beautiful gardens and historic outbuildings that pre-date the construction of the main house. The history of Carr's Hill and the buildings on it are long and full of many colorful stories.
American indie rock band Mt. Joy returned to the University of Virginia on Friday evening for its second “Arts on the Hill” appearance since April 2023. The band performed an intimate set at President Jim Ryan’s Carr’s Hill home, just one day before headlining a nearly sold-out show at John Paul Jones Arena.
