Campin', Cookin', and Conservation!That's what we're all about here in the Virginia Forestry Club at UVA! We're an active forestry conservation club dedicated to providing opportunities for student involvement and community service at state and local parks. Our goal is to support sustainability, conservation, and land management initiatives within and around Virginia and Charlottesville by involving students from all around UVA. Moreover, we aim to educate our members and volunteers on proper forestry techniques and conservation practices.We like to get out into the field and engage with hands-on conservation, helping out park rangers and conservation-oriented organizations with whatever needs doing. This includes clearing/building trails and park features, building foot crossings; planting trees, shrubs, and flowers; managing invasive plant species; and much more!There's no personal equipment or prior experience necessary -- just bring yourself and a passion to protect our forests! Our volunteer service trips typically occur on weekends:Local trips in and around Charlottesville take up a Saturday afternoon. We work with Charlottesville Parks & Rec, Albemarle County Parks, CAMBC, CATS, and more!Overnight trips to state parks like Holliday Lake and James River run from Saturday to Sunday morning.As a treat to the volunteers, there is food served on every service trip -- and on overnight trips, camping!

We are a public-service-based organization dedicated to sharing historical knowledge of the University of Virginia and the Charlottesville community with tourists, visitors, and students. We are entirely student-run and aim to foster student contributions in the process of preserving and sharing history. By giving students the responsibility to document, contextualize, and guide conversations about the University’s legacy, we create a more engaged student body that takes ownership of its institution’s history. We elevate lesser-known stories, diverse perspectives, and evolving interpretations of history which remain an integral part of the University experience.

The Virginia Review of Politics, also known as “VROP” (pronounced vee-rop), is an undergraduate political magazine at the University of Virginia. The Review publishes wide-ranging content that aims at a middle ground between undergraduate academic journals and student newspaper opinion sections. We take a broad approach to the term politics – in addition to covering formal and electoral politics, our writers examine arts and literature, science and technology, social movements, public health, the environment, and a host of other topics. In doing so, we seek to prompt discussion among policy wonks and newcomers alike. The Review is an omni-partisan platform, which means that our pieces span a diverse array of intellectual and political backgrounds. By giving students an outlet for creative expression and experimentation, we hope to widen the scope of who is allowed to speak on contemporary affairs. We do not deny that our content is politically charged – in fact, that is one of our defining features. However, the articles we publish are meant to reflect only the opinions of their authors, and not the official stance of the Review. 

We are a medical student service organization that provides health screenings and access to primary care services at community events and shelters in Charlottesville and the surrounding areas.
