"You have to understand an issue area and community in order to effectively work for change." -Noah Hillerbrand, '18
Noah came to #URichmond for the Bonner Scholars Program and certainly made an impact in his 4 years as a #Spider! Best of luck in medical school, Noah!

Congratulations to Bonner Scholar Lina Tori Jan on having her article, “Embracing the Forbidden through CI,” published in Contact Quarterly Dance & Improvisation Journal! She was inspired to write after taking a Contact Improvisation class with Professor Cheryl Pallant. Take a few moments to read her powerful reflection!
“Khan-Cullors weaves the themes of poverty, race, the criminal justice system and activism throughout this memoir,” said Holly Blake, associate dean for outreach education and development. “The book reveals how and why Khan-Cullors committed her own life as an artist and activist to addressing issues that disproportionately affect communities of color.”
Have you added the 2018-19 One Book, One Richmond to your summer reading list?
