Internal Medicine Interest Group at the UVA School of Medicine.

The College Aerospace Medicine Society (CAMS) is an organization comprised of undergraduate students at the University of Virginia that fosters interest in the field of aerospace medicine. Through a journal club, speaker events, and community outreach, students will explore this ever-growing field. 

The mission of the College Science Scholars Council is to support the College Science Scholars program and to further the academic, intellectual, and social exchange between the Scholars themselves and the University Community. The Council organizes events, runs the mentorship program, and has oversight over all scholar activities.

Common Cents (https://commoncents.org/) is a national nonprofit seeking to empower college students with the knowledge to manage their money and reach financial independence. We strive to make personal finance interactive, engaging, and appealing for a wide audience. Regardless of age, major, career, or income level, we seek to break the stigma and fear of personal finance and improve financial literacy. This organization was first launched at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and has expanded to other colleges such as Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and Florida State. After meeting with national leadership from UPenn, we were approved to start our own chapter at the University of Virginia. We now have an executive committee, approximately 30 members signed up, and Professor Dorothy Kelly of the McIntire School of Commerce as our faculty advisor. Our mission is to promote financial literacy both at UVA and in the wider Charlottesville community. At UVA, many undergraduate students lack basic personal finance skills necessary to live on their own. For example, too many 1st year students sign leases for 2nd year between September and October without fully understanding their rights or obligations under the expensive leases that local landlords make them sign. In addition, many sign up for credit cards and student loans, taking on debt for the first time, which leads to financial challenges early in their lives. It is our goal to promote financial literacy through guest speakers, lectures, and interactive activities. The need for financial literacy and personal finance basics is not only essential for UVA undergraduates, but extends to the local community. We want to help young people, minority groups and recent immigrants in the greater Charlottesville region similarly learn to better understand personal finance. This is why we are looking to partner with local high schools and Piedmont Virginia Community College to help promote financial literacy through presentations from Common Cents club members and to better prepare them for the financial decisions they will need to make in the near future. We hope to provide a great service opportunity for UVA students and help UVA make an impact on the local community through our mission.

Our Computer Science Club is a vibrant and intellectually stimulating community dedicated to exploring the ever-evolving world of computer science. We're passionate about delving into a diverse range of topics, from data science and machine learning to the intricacies of large language models, and everything in between. Our primary mission is to foster a strong learning environment where members can engage in hands-on exploration and discussion of cutting-edge technologies and trends. We will divide members up into research groups, where they can collaborate as they explore a relevant topic. They will then create and present an interactive project that demonstrates the fruits of their learning. 

The Credit & Restructuring Club focuses on increasing UVA students’ exposure to credit markets and specifically the financial restructuring and credit investing professions. Weekly meetings involve education on these topics through interactive case studies, interview prep, and guest speakers. The club also functions as a vehicle to establish ongoing relationships with prominent firms in credit investing and restructuring. Finally, the club creates a previously missing space for students with a shared interest in these specific topics to meet and learn from each other.

This is an engineering organization that specializes in CubeSats which is a nanosatellite.
