Upcoming Events!
We are proud to announce the formation of the UVA AGSS Chapter!
It was time, and we are proud to share our excitement with you all. The rumors are indeed true: the All Girls STEM Society has found its new home at the University of Virginia. With the help of talented volunteers, the new executive team here at UVA is beyond excited to meet with new volunteers and begin work. Although COVID-19 is a challenge, the UVA team is ready to tackle it with the understanding that this is often the time that students need assistance the most. Currently, meetings are being planned to get the word out to the UVA student body and an interest meeting will be held soon in order to help welcome volunteers into the fold, and we are looking to fill some leadership roles. Please join us in welcoming this new period of life for the All Girls STEM Society. If you are interested in joining, please come to our interest meeting (date TBD) and come with your vision and your excitement! We cannot wait to meet you all!
