New Spider Virtual Events

    We're excited for your arrival as a Richmond Spider! We also recognize that the adjustment to college can come with a lot of questions, even more deadlines, and sometimes a bit of confusion, too – but we’re here to help! Join us for virtual events designed for New Spiders. *All events take place in the Eastern Standard Time Zone.

    Take 10 Tuesdays offer relevant information on next steps, from housing to health services; tune in for a ten to twenty minute overview with staff across campus, followed by an open Q & A. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend! First Year Fridays are designed to connect you with future classmates and peer advisors, hangout, and find out what it’s like being a student at UR! Hangouts are led by Peer Advising Associates (PAA) and will occur on select Fridays at 3:00 p.m. First Year Fridays are reserved for students only.
