Support the School
Intellectual inquiry. Shared investigation. Creativity. These are the makings of a truly liberal education. The School of Arts & Sciences is at the heart of the liberal arts education students receive at the University of Richmond. The school fosters a community of scholars and students interested in pursuing knowledge for its intrinsic value and contributions to professions, society, and the world.
The school's faculty and staff, alongside alumni and community partners, work hard to prepare students for careers that matter, careers that allow them to turn their passion for the liberal arts into their life's purpose.
There are many different ways that you can help students on that journey.
Share your story
Stories about alumni who turned their liberal arts degrees into rewarding careers are inspiring to students. To share your story online or in one of our publications, contact our Communications Manager, Jennifer Lo Prete.
Stay in touch with students and faculty
The School of Arts & Sciences is on Facebook and Instagram. Stay updated and reconnect with old classmates, current students, and the school's faculty and staff.
Help a liberal arts major gain experience
One of the best ways you can support the work the School of Arts & Sciences does is to support the students the School of Arts & Sciences produces. Internships, research opportunities, summer experiences, and career preparation programs offer liberal arts majors an outstanding opportunity to add to their skill set while exploring the many industries and careers available to them. Consider your organization's needs and submit a professional opportunity that will benefit a student in the School of Arts & Sciences.
A&S also partners with Career Services to present A&S NEXT, a career event for our students that allows them to interact with alumni and learn more about their career paths. If you are interested in participating in this program, contact us at as@richmond.edu.
