At Richmond, every student can build meaningful relationships with exceptional faculty who challenge their assumptions, inspire deep learning and discovery, and equip them to shape their own futures.
As we Accelerate Richmond, we’ll secure the resources to strengthen our teacher-scholar model — investing in exceptional faculty and the mentorship, innovation, and academic excellence that define the Richmond experience.
Your investment will help the University recognize and retain exceptional faculty, advance innovative research and teaching, expand expertise in evolving fields, and strengthen Richmond’s distinctive culture of close mentorship and student-centered learning.
By supporting Academic Excellence, you will help:
Create endowed and current-use faculty fellowships that help recruit, recognize, and retain exceptional teacher-scholars while providing the time, resources, and support to pursue ambitious research, strengthen teaching, and deepen mentorship.
Invest in existing and emerging academic programs, including new faculty positions in rapidly evolving fields such as data science, analytics, and health studies, while strengthening the breadth and relevance of a Richmond education.
Endow chairs and deanships that provide the resources and flexibility to attract exceptional faculty leaders, pursue bold priorities, strengthen academic programs, recognize outstanding teacher-scholars, and advance scholarship and student engagement.
