Hey there, Spiders! My name is Addie Jo, and I’m currently spending my junior-year fall semester in Amman, Jordan.
Asia Week has been a topic of conversation for my friends and me throughout the semester.

This year’s International Education week is focused on Asia with an emphasis on East Asia. It is a spotlight on a region that is economically, politically, socially and culturally significant to the world, but does not generally enjoy a large presence in the University of Richmond's curriculum, programming or campus life. With UR’s last strategic plan promoting the internationalization of the campus and its current one promoting thriving, inclusivity, diversity and equity (TIDE), Asia Week is an opportunity to highlight explicitly — however briefly — an important region of the world and the experiences of the communities of students, staff members and faculty members associated with it.
In 2017, the University of Richmond's Office of International Education (OIE) hosted Denmark Week. In 2018, it highlighted South Africa. What country is it spotlighting in 2019?
As we enter our 12th week of classes, South China Morning Post’s weekly updates remind me that Hong Kong is entering its 23rd week of unrest and violence.
The University of Richmond has been working on pushing and promoting freedom of expression on its campus after calls from students to create a clearly defined policy governing freedom of expression. Yet this policy has not come without controversy.

Promoting freedom of expression at the University of Richmond is now at the top of the list of priorities for the current university leadership. Since as early as 2017, University President Ronald A. Crutcher has promoted a personal campaign on the issue.
At this moment, 113,000 people are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant in the U.S., and 22 people die each day waiting for a donation.
Editor's Note: The following opinion piece is the first of a three-part series -- one that its writers hope will address the upcoming changes in how the University of Richmond remembers and recognizes its racial history, as well as provide a platform for students to discuss what inclusivity should look like. It is addressed to the Presidential Commission on University History and Identity, President Crutcher, deans Boehman, Genoni and Rankine, the Board of Trustees, UR's alumni network and current students and faculty members.
Media has long been the force that uncovers truth and ensures accountability, but there is no one checking the truth and accountability of media.
On Friday, a gunman opened fire in my hometown of Virginia Beach, Virginia. He killed 12 innocent people and wounded six more.
On April 27, the final day of Passover, a gunman entered Chabad of Poway, a synagogue in San Diego, and took the life of one of its congregants while maiming and injuring several others.
The very term “politically correct” provokes ire and disenchantment across a broad section of the United States public.
The end of the school year comes with a bag of mixed emotions. As students, we all have different feelings when summer break is upon us. For seniors, the spectrum of emotions is even larger. Seniors are embarking on the next chapter of their lives. As exciting as it may be, there is still an incredibly daunting aspect to this chapter. With graduation, there comes a timeless and anxiety-provoking question:

As the mist settles on the River Thames, a faint pink glow radiates from behind Oxford’s Radcliffe Camera. The spires of the city’s academic buildings begin to step out from the morning’s darkness. This sets the scene for the monotonous movement that our crew team coxswain gently coaxes out of us in the early morning.

We adjusted the lighting to highlight the high and low points of his face and instructed him to either smile or look serious -- the choice was his.
