It publishes notable undergraduate research with a threefold purpose: to provide publication opportunities for engineering undergraduates, to promote a community of research, and to serve as an educational tool for prospective students. Our annual journal covers at wide range of technical topics that reflect the core values of technical credibility, relevancy, and originality. The main body of Spectra is referred to as the Editorial Board and is responsible for reading, discussing, and revising submissions to Spectra. In the fall we hold weekly meetings to discuss and vote on submitted papers. These meetings make up the bulk of the Editorial Board's contribution. Members of the Editorial Board often take on additional responsibilities such as serving as a Primary or Secondary Editor to implement changes to accepted submissions before final publication. Members can also run for leadership positions including the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editor-in-Chief, or one of our many Chair positions. Our Layout Chair is a great role for those interested in graphic design and the opportunity to collaborate with professional designers. The Finance Chair is responsible for grant/funding applications and managing the printing and design budget. The final Chair, Publicity, deals with submission solicitation, outreach, and distributing our final edition. Each of these Chair positions also works with a corresponding Committee to accomplish their goals and the needs of Spectra. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in this fun, educational, and impactful organization!To submit a paper to Spectra, visit https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhS9YlWWDZLf7ujkbLj4wT8zi-fDjghxC1sSHDl_fS2tdOvw/viewform?usp=sf_linkTo view our most recent issue, visit https://www.flipsnack.com/uvaengineering/spectra-2024/full-view.html 

  • The Virginia Gentlemen

    With a history like ours dating back to 1953, we have a lot to live up to; being a VG today involves rehearsing our massive repertoire for weekly gigs, putting on two concerts a year, and traveling the world singing! With recent tours in Washington DC, China, Hong Kong, Peru, Southeast Asia, and Spain, and nearly 100 performances each school year, we keep ourselves as busy as possible! During 2023's 70th anniversary celebration, when we sang with over 80 alumni, including members of The Original Eight VGs, we learned that even though so much has changed at the University and beyond, a VG is in the group for life. We have been to some amazing places and experienced some incredible things, but at our core, we are a group of folks who love to sing.
