Young Graduate Program

Graduated this year?  Congratulations!  We're already at work on new graduate events and opportunities for you to get involved.  See the new graduate page for resources especially for the class of 2009.  In addition to these, we welcome you to the alumni association and the other opportunities for all new young graduates below.

Graduated in the last ten years?  We have something specifically for your post-college needs.  Some regional alumni chapters have activities and committies for young graduates, including cooking classes, wine tastings, happy hours, and professional development opportunities.  

Young Graduate volunteers work hard (and play hard!) to help younger alumni stay in touch with the University of Richmond and with each other, in addition to gaining successful skills, leadership and community service opportunities.   

As a young graduate, there are many ways in which you can continue your University of Richmond experience! 

  • Alumni Benefits: An introduction to the many benefits of being a UR alumnus/alumna. 
  • Regional Alumni Chapters: UR alumni gather in cities across the country and many chapters have young alumni committees and young alumni chairs to help facilitate activities specifically for young alumni.  Though young alumni are active in many chapters, areas with the largest young alumni populations have a very active presence.  Some of these areas include Atlanta,  Boston,  Chicago,  Philadelphia,  Richmond,  New York City, and  Washington, D.C.
  • The Young Graduates Council of the Greater Richmond Alumni Chapter is a group of young grads who help facilitate opportunities for the largest young alumni population which is in the Greater Richmond area. 
  • Homecoming Weekend 2009: Come back to campus for the weekend and reconnect with classmates and friends at the UR vs. Villanova Tailgate, the Young Grad Reunion, and many other events November 6 - 8.
  • Alumni Recruitment Committee: Stay connected with the University by becoming an Admissions volunteer! Join 700 of your fellow Spiders in helping to recruit new students as an Alumni Recruitment Committee member. As a member, you’ll get to attend college fairs, interview local students, serve as an alumni panelist at events, and keep informed about life on campus. To learn more, visit http://admissions.richmond.edu/arc or contact Senior Assistant Director, Maria E. Cedeno at mcedeno@richmond.edu or (804) 289-8037.

Homecoming Weekend 2008 was a big success, especially for young graduates who return to Richmond in masses to reconnect with the University and reunite with classmates and friends.  The Young Grad Reunion, held on Saturday evening of Homecoming, is normally the largest young grad event of the year.  Over 500 young grads attended the event at BlackFinn in downtown Richmond.  The Class of 2008 boasted the largest turnout as they celebrated their Zero-Year Reunion that evening as well.  Here are some pictures from the event.
