On Saturday, University of Richmond students joined with peers from Virginia Commonwealth University and Virginia Union University to pull weeds, remove brush, and unearth history at the East End Cemetery.
After a morning full of hard work, the students gathered with East End Cemetery Cleanup & Restoration Project to celebrate the five year anniversary of their ongoing efforts to restore the cemetery.
Join us for our first Brown Bag Discussion of the semester today at 12:30 p.m. in Tyler Haynes Commons, Room 305!
