The baking club is a place to enjoy baking and eating baked goods. The purpose of our club is to explore our passions for baking and eating, while learning new tricks and recipes from our friends. Meetings can be planned by anyone at any time - whenever a craving for baking hits! We welcome bakers and eaters of all levels. Beyond baking for ourselves, we also host Baked Good Giveaways occasionally around grounds to boost students' spirits and give our bakers the freedom to bake as much as they please. 

We want to spread the love of bass fishing to the UVA community. Our goal is to gather members to educate them about everything bass fishing has to offer. We also wish to aid the Heroes on the Water Organization with a semesterly fundraiser.

The Civil Discourse Initiative (CDI) is a collective of student leaders dedicated to changing our perception of political dialogue at the University and beyond. We believe in a large-scale model of change, and work to put on wide-appeal public events that demonstrate what good discourse looks like through the mouths of student leaders, the lens of student issues, and in spaces students interact with. Success to us is teaching the value of brave, sensitive, and thoughtful discussion - even, and especially, when we disagree.

The C4 Initiative serves to help connect students seeking to become more socially engaged with UVA with peer mentors who can support them socially and help them navigate the new college environment. Mentors will help connect mentees with clubs/activities on Grounds and also be part of small mentor/mentee groups, and mentees can use these opportunities as easy avenues to become more engaged at UVA.

The unique mission of the Business & Public Policy Club is to promote cross-curricular education and discourse at the intersection of business and policy. The club works to engage in action-oriented discourse to cultivate a collaborative mindset and establish mutual responsibility for the societal effects of business and policy decisions. Finally, we work to highlight professional opportunities among future policy and business leaders.Although this organization has members who are University of Virginia students and may have University employees associated or engaged in its activities and affairs, the organization is not a part of or an agency of the University. It is a separate and independent organization which is responsible for and manages its own activities and affairs. The University does not direct, supervise or control the organization and is not responsible for the organization's contracts, acts or omissions.

The Fralin Student Docents at the University of Virginia are one of the oldest volunteer university student docent programs in the country. Student Docents facilitate close-looking with original works of art at the Fralin Museum of Art, gain vital experience as museum educators, and serve the community by leading tours for thousands of area school children every year. The Fralin Student Docents are dedicated to furthering the educational and cultural development of its members and the community, as well as increasing the visibility and recognition of the Fralin Museum of Art.New docents participate in a semester-long training course in dialogic teaching, public speaking, and education theory, and are given ample opportunity to practice these skills. Some knowledge of basic art history is helpful but not required. After the training semester, student docents attend weekly education meetings Fridays from 1-2pm. Docent education meeting topics vary semester to semester, but always include education specific to the art and exhibitions on view.
