It all starts within us.
Since 1830, every Richmond Spider has arrived with a set of guiding qualities within ourselves — the qualities that make us Spiders before even setting foot on campus.

An ardent ambition that propels us past where others have stopped. An unmistakable curiosity that pushes us to dig deeper. An unyielding determination to pursue our goals with everything we have.

We know that what we do here will have an incredible impact everywhere. The things we bring on day one — our talents, our passions, our viewpoints — are what equip us to make that impact.

And it all starts within us.
