Welcome to the CANCAS Corner!

You have reached the official site for the Collegiate Academy of the North Carolina Academy of Science, i.e. CANCAS.  We are a subset of the North Carolina Academy of Science (NCAS), an organization that includes faculty, graduate students, college students, high school students and others interested in advancing science in North Carolina.  Here you will find information about our organization, news, pictures of our activities, past and future events, and much more!

Who are we?

We are a community of undergraduate students and faculty advisors.  We may be from different institutions and many different clubs and perhaps even different disciplines of science, but we have a lot in common.  By sharing our common interests, we find stability.  By sharing our diversity, we grow.

What is our purpose?

Our interest in scientific endeavors is our common goal.  Knowing that scientific progress requires the combined effort of many individuals, we hope to foster interactions among our membership.  We hope you will join us as we work to stimulate interactions among members of the scientific community in North Carolina.
