They say character is defined by how you treat those who cannot do anything to help you. By this measure, in my experience with them, Tim Kaine and Sherrie Harrington exemplify those noble characters worthy of envy and praise. I am a Richmond Law graduate who had the distinct pleasure and honor of being Gov.
My fellow teammates and I are up against a formidable force in our fight to reestablish our team on this wonderful campus. With respect to myself, I have not once on this long, hard journey entertained the idea of accommodation.

I support Barack Obama for many reasons, but I will only touch on a few of these reasons due to time constraints. Throughout this election cycle, we have been told over and over how the economy is the most important issue in this election.
I'm not sure about you, but I was more passionate about following news of Hurricane Sandy than I have ever been about this election. This will be the first presidential election in which I can vote, and I am still a little unsure about whether it will be worth it to wake up early next Tuesday. It's almost a cliche to say it at this point, but the magic surrounding Barack Obama has faded.

When people ask me why I decided to become an education leader, I tell them about Jeremy. I met Jeremy shortly after I graduated from the University of Richmond.
Like all other Westhampton freshmen, I was informed about the changes to the Ring Dance tradition recently. Personally, I didn't think it was a huge deal, as I wasn't well-versed in the traditions of UR before I came here.
I can remember it like it was yesterday. It was a crisp November afternoon and the fallen leaves were crunching beneath our feet as we made our way down Westham Station. I was out for a run with fellow Spiders Matt Llano, Jonny Wilson and Tim Quinn.

Q: I'm crazy for this girl. I've liked her for three years now, and we've been good friends for a while, but she's had a boyfriend that whole time -- and he's one of my good friends, too.
This weekend, I have a 170-page book, a 50-page chapter and five 13-page articles to read and analyze.
I could fill a book with things I really love and appreciate about Richmond -- wonderful classes, faculty who take the time and effort to invest in my education, research opportunities, programs like SSIR or WILL, which have so enhanced my time here, and even the fro-yo in D-Hall. But lately my school spirit seems to be dwindling, as recent events suggest that Richmond is not the institution I thought (or hoped) it was.
We were very disappointed to hear the recent news that the University of Richmond is terminating its men's soccer and track and field programs. Although we were saddened by the fate of both programs, we can only speak directly to this decision's impact on the cross country and track teams.
As a proud Westhampton alumna, I want to give words to those Westhampton women who may feel disheartened by the openness to change demonstrated by many since the changes to Ring Dance have been announced. Let me begin by saying my four years at Richmond were some of the most impactful of my life.
Despite being a nice respite from sweaty lodges and packed apartments, going out in the Fan or downtown Richmond still has its trials, most of which stem from the fact that it's the "real world," outside of the confines of our cozy collegiate playground.
