Pathways to a College Experience (PACE) Program

PACE (Pathways to a College Experience) introduces the possibility of a college education to Richmond area middle and elementary school students by offering a comprehensive full-day or half-day tour experience at the University of Richmond.

The PACE program is supported by the strong leadership of UR students and a grant from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV).

PACE tours are led by UR student trained guides and may include visits with our campus partners, including Boatwright Memorial Library, Information Services, the Modlin Center for the Arts, the Office of Admission, the Office of Sustainability, Residence Life & Housing, Richmond Athletics, the Robins School of Business, the School of Arts & Sciences, the Student Center for Equity & Inclusion, the Student Health Center, University Museums, and UR Well.

Tours may include a lunch portion, at the request of students and chaperones. Schools/organizations also have the option of paying for lunch in the Heilman Dining Center. Scholarships for transportation may be available for eligible school programs and requirements.

PACE tours are conducted on Fridays only during the Fall (October & November) and Spring (February-April) terms. For any additional questions, please email us at PACE@richmond.edu.
