VERITAS has just completed its 11th year of full four-telescope scientific operations and continues to function with excellent efficiency. Its science program, encompassing galactic, extragalactic, and fundamental physics, entails dedicated observations of specific targets as well as multi-messenger target-of-opportunity observations. The current operational status of VERITAS is presented, as well as recent science highlights, and the future plans for the observatory are discussed.
