Where Our University First Began
On March 4, 1840, the Virginia Legislature granted a charter for "a Seminary of learning for the instruction of youth in the various branches of science and literature, the useful arts and the learned and foreign languages, which shall be called and known by the name of Richmond College." More than 175 years later, we are still challenging our students to pursue lives of purpose as part of the University of Richmond.
A Positive Image of Masculinity
Richmond College strives to create a community of diverse and authentic men. As a men's college within a coeducational university, our charge is to help our students understand what it means to be a man in today's world, and to assist them in becoming the man they aspire to be. The core of the Richmond College experience is a shared set of values known as the Positive Image of Masculinity, which is a framework for our students to discover their own authentic brand of masculinity.
Unique Programs
Richmond College programs challenge students to think differently about themselves, their communities, and the role that masculinity can play in our society. Whether it is hiking the Appalachian Trail, exploring Richmond's civic identity, or taking a stand against relationship and sexual violence, Richmond College programs engage our students beyond the classroom.

The Richmond College Student Government Passed this resolution last night. From their post:
"The Richmond College Senate represents students of all different backgrounds, ethnicities, and races and promotes inclusivity. Our first action to show our efforts to becoming better men is this document. We, The Richmond College Senate pledge to rededicate ourselves to the work of combatting prejudice, both external and internal, through meaningful dialogue and a commitment to intellectual honesty, as well as the subsequent pursuit of finding what is morally good. We invite and encourage all Richmond College Students to partake in this effort, and come to the events that will be hosted for Black History Month and show what inclusivity means and looks like. Not only for the month of February but for months to follow."
Good work, RCSGA!
