The following is an interview with Vanessa Loftus Lindlaw, '03, vice president of Edelman Public Relations. What did you study at University of Richmond, and what were your post-graduation plans?

This is a story of injustice, death and the ecological consequences of each. In honor of a majestic creature that was killed in my own backyard, I would like to warn you of our attitude toward the state of our planet. I live in UFA.
Let's be honest: Virginia doesn't have any stellar candidates for governor this year. But that doesn't mean you get a free pass to sit out this election.
Ken Cuccinelli has a long history of standing up for the innocent--from his work with preventing sexual assault to protecting the preborn--and that is why the Spiders for Life are endorsing Ken Cuccinelli for governor. In 2011, the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation to apply the same health and safety codes that apply to hospitals to abortion clinics.
The gubernatorial election in Virginia has been a notably nasty race, especially with regard to the personal views of the candidates on access to abortion and contraception.
From the time they are born, most people are told that it's their duty to vote. Instead of voting this Nov.

We, the students, are at a crossroads. We, as a collective body, have seen many changes in the past 12 months at University of Richmond.
Last Friday afternoon, I was hacking away at Chinese privet in a national park with a lopper, a cutting tool.
Anyone who follows Richmond Confessions on Facebook knows that scrolling through those sad, funny and sometimes blatantly weird posts is the perfect way to procrastinate an evening away.
Drunken hooking up is fun and liberating, and since I've been in America, I've been in awe of how easily you can initiate one-night-only relationships.
Medical school is supposed to teach students how to be doctors. Or so we think. The University of California, San Francisco implemented a new policy for its medical students regarding academic credit.
I believe the students at UR are familiar with the bikes I refer to. You know, the yellow ones, average in size, mediocre in steering, yet effective in getting people where they want to go.
Social media confounds me. LinkedIn, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Foursquare, Google Plus+, Meetup, Flickr, Wordpress, MySpace, StumbleUpon and Facebook.
In the first seconds of "reasons to be pretty," the audience is confronted with an emotional, fiery, invective-laden fight surpassing anything I've seen on reality TV.
UR Police Chief David McCoy will shed light on the policies and programs of the university police as part of a new column in The Collegian.
Who went to the Richmond Street Art Festival? Wasn't that so cool? On the days that the Street Art Festival was going on, I couldn't look at social media without seeing a flood of pictures of UR students standing in front of those murals, smiling proudly at discovering this fun, alternative part of the city.
Just as we thought Robin Thicke and his arguably misogynistic product slipped into the past along with the rest of this summer's guilty pleasures, the universities of Edinburgh and Leeds, UK, have dragged him back into the spotlight by banning his song "Blurred Lines" in affiliated nightclubs.
