Community-Based Learning
Community-based learning can include a variety of modes, including volunteering, collaborative projects, clinical education, and study trips. Many community-based learning courses at the University of Richmond center around larger initiatives, including the Eco-Corridor on campus and the restoration of African American cemeteries across Richmond.
New Knowledge for the Public Good
Community-engaged research engages faculty and community stakeholders in meaningful research together and is published both in disciplinary journals and in journals dedicated to community engagement.
Resources for Community-Based Learning Students
Community-based learning succeeds when students further their own learning through experience and reflection and give valuable information or service to the community partner.
Tour guide recommendations
The Office of Admission is seeking recommendations from faculty and staff for the next class of campus tour guides. These students represent the University of Richmond community at large, including faculty, students, academic departments, student organizations, and other essential aspects of the University. For this, it is important that we find candidates who will represent UR in a positive, accurate, and professional manner. By recommending a student, you can help us show the full breadth of student experience to prospective students and families.
Please submit your recommendation before the application closes on Oct. 23. Reach out to Kyle Meadows at kyle.meadows@richmond.edu with any questions.
