2024 Fall Undergraduate Research Meeting
November 9, 2024 at Ferrum College
Tim Durham, faculty, Ferrum College
“The VAS Fall Undergraduate meeting is an ideal platform for student researchers. It’s a low stress, supportive, and rigorous environment, with ample opportunities for friendly, non-judgmental feedback and recognition. Most importantly, it builds and cements confidence – a stepping stone for regional and national meetings.” – Tim Durham

Institutional and Business Memberships are available to colleges/universities, businesses, and industrial organizations.
In 1925, Academy leaders provided testimony in The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes, in which high school teacher John Scopes was tried for teaching evolution, a violation of state law at the time.
Both VAS and VJAS award grants, scholarships and other awards on a yearly basis.
The Academy was part of the leadership team for the development and publication of the Flora of Virginia in 2012; it is the first flora for the Commonwealth published since 1762 (250 years earlier).
