The UVA Surgery Interest Group (SIG) is focused on providing undergraduate students with exposure and opportunities in the field of surgery. Within medicine, there are 14 surgical specialties that differ from non-surgical specialties in many regards. Our club focuses on what makes surgery unique. We provide opportunities to learn about careers in surgery, practice basic surgical skills, develop professionally, and collaborate with like-minded individuals. Although many of our members aspire to become surgeons, there are many others pursuing careers as physician's assistants, nurses, anesthesiologists, or technicians in surgery. Some examples of SIG events include: guest lectures from surgeons, suture clinics, dissection labs, resume workshops, professional advice sessions, philanthropy events, and social events. We encourage anyone with even a minimal interest in surgery to learn more with SIG.

Knowledge and appreciation of ancient Greece and Rome are important to our understanding of the modern world, which owes so much of its government, literature, language, and arts to these civilizations of the past. The Classics Club aims to promote an appreciation of Greco-Roman Classical Civilization among the student body. It also exists to foster a sense of community among both Classics Majors and other interested undergraduates through educational, social, and service-related activities.

The Contemplative Cavalier is the undergraduate journal of philosophy at UVA. Our mission is to provide two unique opportunities to ambitious undergraduate philosophers: 1) a widely accessible outlet to publish their best philosophical work 2) a forum where they can present this work to an audience in real time. This journal is made by undergraduate philosophers for undergraduate philosophers. In publishing a semesterly journal, we provide a special opportunity to undergraduates to publish and, thereby, improve and gain recognition for their work outside the classroom. Writing a quality philosophy paper is no simple task. Understanding this, we are excited to help the works of young philosophers go beyond the eyes of their professor. In addition to this, we hope to provide a space, through an annual symposium, for undergraduate philosophers to present this hard work in front of an audience of others interested in philosophy. These invaluable experiences, being seldom offered to undergraduate philosophers, will help those involved recognize if graduate school for philosophy is an avenue that is worth considering. Further, it will be yet another avenue to spread the study of philosophy to those that are not already familiar with the study.
