Richmond students are helping change the world every day. If you browse our website and take a look at the profiles you find, you’ll see many examples of alumni effecting change at local, regional, state, national, and international levels – whether as teachers or researchers, professional athletes or astronauts, community organizers or politicians. But students certainly don’t wait to graduate to begin making their mark. More than two-thirds of our students are involved in community service every year, engaging at every level from the metro Richmond area to volunteer work abroad.

As an alumna, 18 year staff member, and the holder of football season tickets for 16 years, I have a long history with the University of Richmond. I was fortunate enough to make the 9 hour ride to Chattanooga last Friday to attend the game. I don’t think I have ever been so impressed with the class act that is University of Richmond.

Facebook users beware

December 19, 2008 – 4:36 pm

Breaking news from our side of the desk in college admissions. In the last day or so it’s become clear in the college admissions community that there is a small group of Facebook users – neither current students nor prospective students – who have set up at least 350 bogus “Class of 2013″ groups for colleges and universities across the country.
