2024 Fall Undergraduate Research Meeting
November 9, 2024 at Ferrum College. Proposals are due October 26, 2024.
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

Celebrate 100 Years of Science with the Virginia Academy of Science!
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).
