Most prospective business majors know that Richmond’s Robins School of Business was ranked #12 nationally among undergraduate business programs in this year’s BusinessWeek rankings.

Graduation for the Richmond Class of 2009 took place a few weeks ago, and our newest alumni are now off on the next exciting stage of their journeys, forging new paths and blazing new trails. Just prior to the formal procession and commencement ceremony, the Career Development Center took some time to interview our seniors about their experiences at Richmond and their future plans. Take a look at the YouTube video!
You may or may not have heard the news, but Richmond is undergoing some really exciting construction right now. This is particularly noticeable if you come for a visit, since Brunet Memorial Hall, home to the Office of Admission, is nearly surrounded by construction! I ran outside with a camera today to get some snapshots of the progress.
