The Evening Song
Far above the Appomattox,
On its lofty hill,
Stands the school we love so dearly,
And we always will;
Though the years may come between us,
Still whatever our fate,
We will keep thy song before us.
Hail Virginia State.
Refrain
Carry me back to Alma Mater,
Their stand the tree and the temples we adore,
Life’s sweetest song we will sing to our Mother,
Hail to Virginia State our home forever more.
Keep our aim and purpose steadfast,
Thru the darkest night,
Lead us on to full achievement,
By they guiding light;
Then when we fulfill our mission,
Be it small or great,
We will sing they praise forever.
Hail Virginia State
Composed by Alston Waters Burleigh in 1930, the Evening Song was dedicated to John M. Gandy, VSU's First President.

VSUAA-Chesterfield County Chapter
VSUAA Chesterfield County members were at it again! On Saturday, August 9th, they took advantage of another volunteer opportunity during VSU's freshmen move-in. The chapter adopted Seward Residence Hall. One hundred treat bags were prepared, and volunteers were eager and ready to greet students and their families as they moved into Seward and other surrounding dorms. We had a blast welcoming families inside and outside the residence halls! The excitement was in the air!
