<p>The amount of building being done in the engineering school makes me think the budget is just fine over there. 
New building: [U.Va</a>. Engineering E-News Online Rice Hall Updates](<a href=“http://www.seas.virginia.edu/pubs/enews/rice.php]U.Va”>http://www.seas.virginia.edu/pubs/enews/rice.php)
The last “new” building, which opened in 2006: [New</a> State-of-the-Art Facility to Transform Research in Nanotechnolog, Materials Science and Engineering and Chemical Engineering](<a href=“http://www.virginia.edu/uvatoday/newsRelease.php?id=1023]New”>http://www.virginia.edu/uvatoday/newsRelease.php?id=1023)</p>
<p>I have a soft spot for engineers (I worked at an elite engineering school before coming to UVa) and I have gotten into the habit of searching youtube for videos to see what they are up to. What I find makes me so proud. These students are doing wonderful work.</p>

<p>TAs are part of most research universities. I don’t think we use them in a dramatically different way.

<p>Hope everyone’s having a great weekend! I’m writing to you from an airport and my next click will be to see how the football game went. Crossing my fingers…</p>
