Innovating and Learning with Community
Faculty at the University of Richmond collaborate with regional partners on community-initiated projects, study trips, exhibitions, and more. The number of community-engaged classes offered at UR has increased by 62 percent since 2010.
Deepening Regional Partnerships
The CCE is committed to forming and sustaining long-term, reciprocal partnerships that provide transformative learning experiences for students, deepen faculty engagement, respond to community-identified needs, and contribute to positive change in the region.
If you spend your entire time at UR at that beautiful campus – and it is beautiful – but you have not engaged with all the wonderful and diverse neighborhoods here in Richmond and the people in them, I think your education is not complete.
