    I appreciate that what we do here matters enough that those who hate diversity would choose us as a model to demonstrate against. If “the most rabid hate group in America” chooses us to protest, then we must be doing something right. blog.president.vcu.edu/2019/03/07/pla…

    To the #VCU and #VCUHealth community As many of you may be aware, Governor Northam proposed yesterday that Virginia celebrate Juneteenth as a paid holiday for state workers. I am pleased to announce that VCU and VCU Health System will celebrate the Juneteenth holiday this Friday.

    1/ Like many of you, I have struggled to comprehend what has unfolded in Georgia, Kentucky, New York, Minnesota, and other places across our nation. And I’m reminded that social media has not captured so vividly centuries old injustices against African Americans.

    Dear VCU community, As we move into a new educational experience together, we are deeply troubled by this week’s announcement of new federal regulations restricting international students from pursuing their degrees online this fall while they are in the United States.
