After this year's elections, the Class of 2018 is missing student representatives in both the Richmond College Student Government Association and the Westhampton College Government Association. The RCSGA Class of 2018 currently lacks two out of seven senators, and the WCGA Class of 2018 does not have a president or three out of six senator seats filled.
Richmond’s unassuming basketball leader is most distressed when he is confined to the four walls of a camera lens. Not when he has to make a buzzer-beating shot to win the game, not when he is defending the best player on the rival’s team – that is when he is most collected. But put five cameras within a foot of his face and he will shy away. His eyes will wander in the search for something else to focus on, and his words will struggle to find their way out of his mouth.
I received an email last week inviting me to Lavender Graduation and immediately registered online. While filling out the application, I realized that I’d never been this excited about registering for a Westhampton College event. I didn’t go to Ring Dance, and I don’t plan on attending any WC-sponsored events between now and when I graduate in May. These events don’t appeal to me, because I associate Westhampton so strongly with feelings of discomfort and distress that I can’t focus on the milestones that we’re meant to be celebrating.
In response to last year’s chaos, Ring Dance policies have changed again this year, and junior women are allowed to have up to two escorts during the procession.
With an ever-expanding, vibrant restaurant scene and so many places to choose from, deciding where to take your valentine for dinner in Richmond can be a daunting task. That’s why we’ve narrowed the restaurant scene down to our top 11, and sorted them by type of restaurant. Lucky for you, Richmond is a city for food connoisseurs and lovers— and there’s something for everyone!
Though Ring Dance has long been associated with the traditional Southern charm of The Jefferson Hotel, there’s a fresh coat of paint in town.
Attention all junior women: Ring Dance is less than three weeks away! If you’re still searching for that last minute long, black dress, check out some of these shops. They’re all located in Richmond and have plenty of dresses for you to choose that will be sure to make your pictures great.
Uber has cut into local taxi drivers’ businesses to the point where some of them have had to become Uber drivers. Bob “Taxi Bob” Schumm, who has served Richmond students, faculty and staff for more than ten years, felt this change firsthand when he was forced to join Uber.
The Westhampton College Government Association (WCGA) is so excited to hit the ground running in the 2015-2016 school year. We are happy to share some of our goals with you and also show you how you can get involved!
This week a new tradition called Color Wars will be kicking off the academic year at the University of Richmond, giving students the opportunity to come together and compete against their peers at a fun, all-inclusive event.
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business Center for Professional Skills and Development hosted about 30 juniors at Q2, the sequel program to Q-camp, the annual professional development event held in January for sophomore business students.
Change is hard, right? Trying something new can be frightening. We often choose to stick with favorite activities, words and behaviors that feel safe simply out of familiarity. We, individually or culturally, are accustomed to such safety. These metaphorical safety nets often get labeled as “traditional” in contrast to unfamiliar practices or ideologies that get marked as “modern.”
As alumnae, we have both served on Westhampton College Government Association, and last year we were the WCGA president and chair of senate. We are disheartened and saddened by some of the responses to Ring Dance 2015.
I seem to be one of the few women at Ring Dance who voluntarily walked alone during the ceremonial procession.

I want to begin by sharing with you my gratitude to the Westhampton student leaders and colleagues who organized this year’s Junior Ring Dance. Each of them worked so hard to plan this year’s dance, an event meant to celebrate the academic accomplishments of our junior women and their friendships with one another.
