As a Joy of Giving Something Fellow, Bonner Scholar Jeanette Lam, ‘19, is in Chicago this weekend for the 2018 Imagining America National Gathering and connecting with engaged artists and scholars from across the country - and no trip to Chicago is complete without seeing Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate!
Join this campus-wide conversation lead by SpiderBoard!
The University of Richmond community is being given the opportunity to share their stories by answering one, simple question… What is your responsibility in creating community?

Portraits will be revealed along with the collective response on Wednesday, October 31st at 4:30pm in the Alice Haynes Room.
