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.

Do you know a Richmond College student who exhibits character, leadership, and/or scholarship? Take a moment and nominate them for the Richmond College Awards! We recognize 5 students from each class. Nominations will be accepted through December 15th at http://bit.ly/RC-awards
You are invited to nominate Richmond College students for the 2019 Richmond College Awards. Established in 2014, the awards recognize Richmond College students of character, scholarship, and leadership from each class, and are named in honor of Dean Emeritus Richard Mateer (1976-2002), Dean John Metcalf (1914-1917), and Dean Raymond Pinchbeck (1931-1957). The Richmond College Medal honors five members of the senior class.
We are looking for students who embody the College’s mantra to Take Care of Yourself, Others, and This Place; students who exemplify an authentic & positive portrayal of masculinity, who are positive role models, and who work to foster a culture of respect on our campus. Our goal is to celebrate Richmond College students who are living lives of purpose at the University.
If you believe a student is deserving of this recognition, you are encouraged to submit a nomination form at http://bit.ly/RC-awards by December 15th.
