Have you heard? Afroman is coming to campus for Pig Roast!
After meeting with members of the University of Richmond administration Thursday afternoon, the Campus Activities Board has confirmed that Afroman will still perform at Pig Roast on March 27.
Last spring, Guster played a concert in the Robins Center. This spring, the big-name artist of the season will be a little more unusual.
Awk: Abbreviation for awkward. If you haven't already heard it, just wait.
I am not a controversial person. I tend to make my home on the middle-ground, appease both sides, be a uniter and not a divider. That is why I promise to never use vulgar language in my column. I refuse to appeal to the lowest base, I refuse to run the risk of alienating the general public. I refuse to drop the F-bomb. Yes, my fellow students — I will never, EVER, utter the word "Festivus."
Overall, things ran smoothly at Pig Roast this year, with few injuries and medical calls, John Jacobs, University of Richmond Police lieutenant, said.
Pig roast is my favorite holiday. I mean, the ones at home with family bonding are great, but what other chance does the Richmond campus get to bond? We don't all go to sporting events. D-Hall is segregated into three sections (you all know what that means). And for most of us, Playfair is but a distant memory. But Pig Roast is the one event where nearly the entire campus gets together, dresses up and heads to the lodges to eat, dance and mingle with other students enjoying the festivities. And from what I understand, there was a time when mimosa brunches at the apartments were just a way to wake up before a pre-lodge, campus-wide tailgate on the IM fields. How incredible does that sound? The chance to bump into that person you always see in the Commons and finally learn his or her name, while enjoying the atmosphere of a few thousand students excited for the rest of the day.

As my tenure at the University of Richmond draws to a close, I've noticed a growing feeling of nostalgia and togetherness among members of the senior class. I suppose it is a purely natural occurrence, akin to what happened high school senior year.
It's that time of year again: Registration for the Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10K is now open, and University of Richmond students have begun signing up in droves.
