The pilgrimage to Spain and Morocco brings history and our common humanity into focus.
We're Back!
The Wilton Center is back and better than ever thanks to the great work of design and architectural services on campus! We will host an open house on October 15th but we invite you to come by for tea, coffee, or a chat to see the updated spaces.
Worship Opportunities
The Office of the Chaplaincy can help students stay connected with their faith tradition. Richmond is home to a number of campus ministries representing a variety of world religious traditions. We also coordinate on-campus worship opportunities — ranging from Catholic Mass and Shabbat services to Muslim prayer and Zen meditation — and help students find off-campus congregations and organizations.
