The Future Physician Assistant Society (FPAS) serves both to raise awareness about the PA profession and its distinction from other pre-health professions and to help pre-PA students throughout the process of applying to PA programs. FPAS members collaborate to gather information about various PA Programs across the US and bring in guest speakers to our club meetings, including PAs in various fields of medicine, representatives from various organizations which may be of help to pre-PA students, and recruiters from PA programs. FPAS hopes to connect students with current PAs to facilitate shadowing opportunities and potential mentorships. In addition, newer goals going forward with the 2024-2025 school year are to potentially collaborate with other CIOs in workshops and integrate service event participation. Finally, FPAS facilitates connections and friendships between pre-PA students at UVAs to share support and resources throughout their undergraduate career.Follow us on IG! @fpas_uva

The vision of the Gayner Family Sustainable Investment Fund (“GFSIF” or “The Gayner Fund”) is to empower and educate students at UVA in the field of investing for the long-term while creating a lasting impact on the university community. Our objective is to provide a platform where students can learn the art of long-term investing while gaining practical experience through managing a real investment fund.By joining the GFSIF, students have the opportunity to develop valuable skills that will serve them throughout their lives. Through our monthly lectures, workshops, and pitch competitions, members will gain in-depth knowledge of investment strategies, stock selection, and portfolio management. They will have the chance to learn directly from industry veterans, such as Tom Gayner, CEO of Markel, and other prominent guest speakers who will share their expertise and insights. Each year's fund is held uninterrupted for 25 years. After that, the fund is liquidated, with half of the proceeds going into the next available fund and the other half directly funding scholarships for UVA students. Our hope is that through our work, one day every student who attends UVA will have an education fully funded through this investment club.Members will gain a solid foundation in long-term investing, a investment approach the first of its kind among the funds at UVA . This knowledge will be applicable not only to their personal finances but also to potential careers in finance, asset management, or entrepreneurship. Furthermore, the GFSIF offers every member a chance to actively manage a real investment fund and contribute to scholarships for future UVA students. This hands-on experience is invaluable, as it allows members to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting, enhancing their understanding of financial markets, while building a brighter future for our university.

Are you looking for an engaging way to get involved in the field of infectious disease? We at the Global Infectious Diseases Association (GIDA) are a group of students with diverse majors and backgrounds looking to spread information and promote research regarding infectious disease. We work closely with the Center for Global Health Equity (CGHE) to collaborate on events and activities designed to encourage undergraduate research in infectious diseases. As we have seen throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, the impact of infectious disease spreads far beyond the field of healthcare. As a member of GIDA, you would be working closely with your peers to help plan and implement events and activities to foster this dialogue regarding the infectious disease within a global context. Recently, we have hosted panels with infectious disease experts to broaden the conversation about the interdisciplinary nature of disease. Additionally, we have hosted research poster sessions where students have an opportunity to meet graduate students and faculty who run research, and talk to them first hand about what they’re studying, and how to get involved.
