2001

Lighting of the Lawn was founded in the wake of the September 11th attacks to foster unity and inclusion in the UVa and Charlottesville communities, and this original mission rings true today for the 22nd Lighting of the Lawn. We look forward to upholding this beloved tradition later this year.

2023

This year, we would like to invite the community to join us at the Disglow! At its core, LOTL celebrates the spirit of community and the joy and strength of togetherness. Despite hardships, LOTL shines bright and is a beacon of hope for our community. We hope that this year is no exception. What is more joyful than a night of glow-in-the-dark disco fun? Wear your brightest disco outfit, and bring your glow sticks! Disglow is meant to uplift our community and their hard work and celebrate as the fall semester draws to a close.
