Richmond College Celebrates its 183rd Birthday with its Annual Awards Ceremony

Founded on March 4th, 1840, Richmond College celebrated its 183rd birthday this year by hosting its annual awards ceremony.

The awards ceremony was established to highlight the legacy of the College while also celebrating the fantastic achievements of our students. 

Students nominated by their peers, faculty, or staff were asked to apply and list their involvements on campus, define how they live a life of purpose, and share how they embody the College’s mantra – “take care of yourself, others, and this place.”

While we are proud of all of our finalists, we share the heartiest congratulations for this year's awards recipients:
