It was so special to meet our newest Rams from all over the world during move-in. I hope I got to meet you over the weekend, but if not, I know we’ll cross paths soon! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing VCU! 🖤💛

Here’s some college advice from someone who may not have nailed it the first time around: Have fun and enjoy the ride! You’ll probably make some lifelong friends if you just step out of your comfort zone. What’s your top tip for our current VCU Rams?

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the #ALSIceBucketChallenge. A decade ago today, I joined in. The challenge brought in $115 million for ALS research, an incredible feat in the fight against this devastating disease. There's still work ahead, but the progress gives me hope.

As Dr. Dewey said yesterday, "VCU is its people, and thank God the people at VCU are exceptional.” Thank you to six of our brilliant faculty members for exemplifying this excellence: Dr. Dewey, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Fowler, Dr. Crawley, Dr. Wang and Dr. Wright.

With the start of the semester, I want to make sure that every student is set up for success. I think there’s no better way to prepare them than by tapping into our #VCURamily’s wealth of knowledge! So, what’s one on-campus resource that you wish students knew more about?

Ten head coaches and a university president walk into a room…and the rest is pure Ram Nation legend. It’s always a blast catching up with the awesome folks at VCU Athletics. Thanks for always backing our student athletes and cranking up the energy for #VCURamNation!

Two campuses means double the black & gold spirit—and I reckon that's twice the fun! I had a great time dusting off the old cowboy hat and saying howdy to everyone this week at the VCU MCV Campus Block Party: Ram Rodeo Roundup. #VCUWoW24 #VCUBGW

VCU and tattoos—a creative tradition that runs deep in our community! I was thrilled to see the incredible turnout at our recent temporary tattoo pop-up, a reflection of the bold and uncommon spirit that makes VCU so unique.
