Breaking Out of Our Comfort Zones
I appreciate the diversity. I knew that would be the reason I would come to VCU, however I did not expect this level of inclusion on campus. Coming here has amplified my inquisitiveness and allowed me to break out of my comfort zone. My favorite parts of being involved with Student Affairs are the relationships […]
Being Heard
The thing that I appreciate most about VCU is the diversity. Learning about other people cultures and orientations is fascinating. My favorite part about being involved in VCU Student Affairs is the fact that I feel like my voice is heard. Working within a welcoming community that listens to what I have to offer is […]
Working for Your Voice
What I appreciate about VCU is the diverse community and VCU’s effort, alongside the student body, to unite the entire campus. This includes different programs and events, both university and student lead, that are inclusive and welcoming to all who want to participate. With this, new students, students of different backgrounds, returning students, and even […]
Finding Your Niche
I went to VCU originally for Creative Advertising degree. I graduated in 2012 and I fell in love with Richmond immediately and then fell in love with the school and the campus. I was a little nervous about being in such a large campus environment right away but you still have a small town feel […]
Getting Involved Across the Globe
I appreciate VCU’s diversity! It’s actually one of the biggest reasons I decided to attend. I went to high school in a location that was not diverse and I found it very hard to keep to my roots and not lose myself. Once at VCU I immediately joined the Latino Student Association and finally felt […]
Living the Ram Life
I appreciate how VCU lives up to its mission of promoting diversity and how there is something for absolutely everyone. All the connections one can make and establish, not only from a professional standpoint but that these connections may also turn into friendships. As a transfer student where I was only involved in a club […]
Involvement, Innovation and Interning
Something I have always loved about VCU is the support that students are able to receive. We have some amazing and well-connected faculty, staff, even students and I love the fact that I cannot go a week without hearing a success story. Diversity and opportunity are the things that brought me here but SUCCESS is […]
Networking, Artistry and People
VCU has tied us into the dream that we can all MAKE IT REAL. This means leading in our actions to be inclusive and diverse in all our glory. We’re encouraged to take the higher road and branch out as far as we can to amplify our success, both educationally and personally. As a transfer […]
Planning for the Future
What I appreciate the most about this university is how it feels like a family on this campus. I can always depend on my advisors and friends as a support system. Being involved with Student Affairs allows for me to build integrative relationships throughout the 500 organizations on campus. I’ve also learned that college students […]
The View From Up There
The Outdoor Adventure Program, helped me find a balance between my engineering coursework and my love for the outdoors. The climbing wall means I can train for trips even while taking 15-18 credits a semester. Working at the rock wall has also been a huge bonus as well; it honestly doesn’t feel like work when […]
