Richmond College Celebrates 184 Years

Founded on March 4th, 1840, Richmond College celebrated it’s 184 birthday this year by hosting their 11th annual awards ceremony.

This tradition was established in 2013 by Dean Boehman, who sought to highlight the legacy of our students and the College overtime, while also celebrating the amazing achievements of our students today. 

Students who were 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 were certainly proud of all of our finalists, we share the heartiest congratulations for our following awards recipients:
