Hey, that's our building in 1957, back when it was the headquarters of Franklin Federal Savings & Loan! #FlashbackFriday
Last August, ten college students from Virginia marched 70 miles from Charlottesville to Richmond to highlight the plight of the DREAMers - young undocumented immigrants who had come to the US as children. Rolando Flores-Santos shared a photograph from the march for our PROTEST! A Richmond History exhibition, and we’re so glad he came to visit today with fellow DACA advocates.
Thanks to Elias Neujahr, CEO of the Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU, for showing us around the incredible Children’s Pavilion today and sharing your important work with us! #SummerintheCity
We had such a blast riding the new GRTC Pulse today and hearing updates from Carrie Rose Pace of Greater Richmond Transit Company and Natalia Green of University Transportation at UR Downtown over lunch!

We're proud to be a part of the United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg's MetroCASH program. This year, out of 197 community volunteers, 70 were University of Richmond's Robins School of Business students who volunteered more than 930 hours of service. As a coalition, MetroCASH was able to file more than 3,400 returns and refunded over $2.5 million to area customers.
No seats left in the library? Walk down the hill, jump on the shuttle, and study downtown! The UR Downtown Shuttle departs on the hour, and we have snacks. Good luck on your exams, #Spiders!
We sure are going to miss Head Downtown Ambassador Emily Bradford, '18, who graduates this May and has shared her love of music through our Downtown Arts and RVA First Fridays programing these last few years! #SpiderPride
“Moving forward, there is a technical comfort, knowing how to do taxes,” junior Chris Selwood, an accounting student who is also part of the program this semester, said. “They are not scary at all to me. I am even doing my own this year."
Thanks to the The Collegian for this story on the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program! We're one of 13 VITA sites with the United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg MetroCASH coalition.
And just like that, tax season has come to a close. The numbers aren't official yet, but our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Site worked on over 450 returns this year. It's only possible through the generous work of wonderful students, volunteers, colleagues, and community partners. Special thanks to the United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg for their help yesterday! #TaxDay
