REMOTE WORK
Santa Cruz Island pokes out of the Pacific Ocean about 25 miles off the coast of Southern California. It’s the rugged star of Channel Islands National Park and home to nearly 60 species of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth, says the National Park Service.
Think of it as a mini Galapagos just off the edge of our continent.
One of its unique species is the island fox, which is among the rarest mammals in North America. These furry charmers drew Elizabeth Forrey, ’23, to an extended stay on the island in July 2021. Her work — which she did through an internship with the Nature Conservancy and with the support of Richmond Guarantee funding — involved safely trapping, vaccinating, and microchipping the foxes and island spotted skunks to help protect the species.
Rare mammals weren’t the only thing she was there to examine. “I wanted to learn about the daily life of wildlife technicians and biologists,” she said.
Her verdict? “I love it.”

EDITOR’S NOTE
All the right steps
Like Walt Whitman, UR senior Ramsey Goodner contains multitudes. Look her up on LinkedIn, and you find a professionally dressed organic chemistry lab teaching assistant pursuing degrees in health care studies and biochemistry and molecular biology. But on Instagram, her headshot smirks at you like Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney, and her bio simply reads, “Dancing through life. UR ’22.”
I got a glimpse of the second version of her in October. In a mirrored rehearsal room in the Modlin Center, she was the centerpiece of a work of choreography the UR Dancers were learning. Last year’s markings for social distancing were still faintly visible on the soft floor, little boxes outlining the foundations of invisible walls meant to keep the dancers safely apart. This year, they could move among one another fluidly, albeit masked. At one point, they linked hands to create an undulating tunnel. Ramsey stepped over and through their arms, moving downstage to a few feet in front of visiting artist Peter Pucci, the choreographer. He gave a few notes and then asked the company to reset. The music restarted,
and they did it again and again. This night’s four-hour rehearsal focused on about three minutes’ worth of performance time.
Sitting next to me as I watched was Anne Van Gelder, director of the dance program. Sotto voce, she told me about her dancers. This one’s a business major, she’d say, or that one’s in the sciences. “See her?” Anne whispered at one point. “She could dance professionally if she wanted.” UR is like that, a place where dancers operate mass spectrometers and business majors study choreography.
At one point, Anne leaned over to me with a different sort of tidbit. “The dancer in the middle,” — she nodded Ramsey’s direction — “I held her when she was a baby.”
You see, Asha Prasad Goodner, ’96, just like her daughter today, was also a science major and a UR Dancer, Anne explained. Today, Asha is director of student health services at Hiram College in Ohio, but when she was a young mom, she came back to campus and met a then-new dance professor — Anne. At some point, Anne cooed over and then cuddled this young alum’s new daughter, who grew up and joined Anne’s dance company. The annual spring dance concert will come more quickly than any of them will be ready for. For three nights, Ramsey will dance under Anne’s direction to the steps of Pucci in front of her mom Asha and her dad Brad and whomever else makes up the live audiences so dearly missed last year. There will surely be science professors among them there to see Ramsey.
It’ll be her last go-round with UR’s student company. She’s laying groundwork to enter medical school in the fall, but her recent lab experience has her thinking that a doctoral chemistry program is what she really wants to do, so that might be where she ends up. She has options. She contains multitudes.

P.S. This year’s annual spring dance concert, the university’s 37th and Ramsey’s final one as a student performer, is Feb. 25–27. More information is available at modlin.richmond.edu.

COLLECTIBLES
The pictures of sports figures on Pages 2 and 3 of the UR Magazine received today brought back a great memory.
In the spring of 1953, I took Coach Pitt’s class Theory of Coaching Interscholastic Baseball. He told us that it was [an easy] course and that the price we paid for passing was officiating intramural basketball games.
YES, I DID THAT
One year later, the stewards at Navy Supply Corps School in Athens, Georgia, asked me, a scrub on the school’s basketball team, to officiate their games. I might not have accepted if it hadn’t been for the previous year’s experience. The stewards were grateful and saw to it that we had the cleanest room in the dorm and the best food.
I treasure the autographs of Lew Burdette and Sean Casey, whose cards are on Page 2 of the issue. Baseball has been my favorite sport since the 1940s.
—Walter Dunn Tucker, R’53 Henrico, Virginia
Arlen Schweiger built an impressive hall-offame wall of sports cards, but he may want to replace the 1959 Topps card of Lew Burdette. The card spells his first name incorrectly and somehow shows him as being left-handed. Just saying!
—Wes Carver, R’68 Mechanicsville, Virginia
Editor’s note: Wes is right: Burdette was a right-handed pitcher. But Burdette was also a well-known prankster. He posed as a lefty for the 1959 Topps card as a gag. Lew (not “Lou,” as on the Topps card) is the shortened version of Burdette’s middle name, Lewis. We haven’t turned up an explanation for the spelling on the card. We’ll call it an error and charge it to the Topps editor in the box score unless we hear otherwise.
So enjoyed reading articles plus W’66 class news — but the one that captured my attention was about careers after college — usually totally unexpected while on campus! My most interesting path took me to leading tours of a nuclear power plant near Raleigh, North Carolina, while working for (then) Carolina Power & Light (now Duke Energy). My position in the corporate communications department had me giving introductory slide presentations to many — from local dignitaries to school children, and everything in between! — and then bus tours to the plant, which visitors then walked through. The tours went into the reactor containment building before and after the reactor was in place and onto the containment deck where the generator was located. Of course, everyone wanted to know if there was radioactive water in the cooling tower pool after the plant went “on line” (in operation, not the “online” we all know now).
So from a potential high school English and history teacher — never happened — to a nuclear plant and later to monitoring legislation in state government after working for the governor as his executive secretary, to starting the North Carolina agritourism office in the Department of Agriculture, working life has been a many-splendored thing.
I’m sure many, many alums have similar stories. I happened to live a very strange life after growing up and wanting to be a high school English and history teacher. Just goes to show that you never know what opportunities might come your way no matter what your college or grad school majors were.
I continue to be blessed by my years at Westhampton College. I’ve become close friends over the past four to five years with one who went to WC during my time there but left — she was in a class three years behind me — and a dear new friend had two sisters who were there a few years after I graduated. Life is full of fun surprises.
—Martha Daughtry Colston Glass, W’66 Cary, North Carolina
RATROPOLIS
Great article about my UR colleague Jonathan Richardson’s urban rat research. I’m fortunate to be working with him on a related city vs lab rat project — stay tuned for exciting neurobiological data about badass urban rats!

An invitation FORUM
Join me in thinking about how to advance access and affordability on our campus.
When my son Tyler came home from high school one day about six years ago and asked me and my wife Tina whether he could go to Paris for a week with the French Club, I immediately wondered whether the trip would fit with our family’s calendar. It seemed like a natural enough response at the time — although Ty wasn’t even studying French — but today, it now stands out to me. Why? It didn’t occur to me to think about the costs of the trip; I immediately went to the calendar. I’ve been fortunate to have great jobs that have allowed me and Tina to provide wonderful opportunities for our two children. But of course, for many students and families, including at Richmond, the costs of education and related experiences can come at a significant financial sacrifice.
As we approach my inauguration as president on April 8, I find myself spending a lot of time thinking about access and affordability. I endeavor for all Richmond students
to be able to pursue their educational goals without feeling constrained by costs — just as my son Tyler was able to do.
How can we meet this challenge and ensure families’ financial circumstances do not limit access to the amazing UR educational experience for both our undergraduates and graduate students?
Inauguration affords us an opportunity to take stock of where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going as an institution. I’m immensely proud to be part of a community that has worked so hard to empower students of all backgrounds to take full advantage of the education we offer. Thanks to generations of dedicated and generous Spiders, we stand today as one of the few institutions in the nation that is need-blind in admission and meets full demonstrated need. We’ve also ensured that every undergraduate student is eligible to receive a fellowship of up to $4,000 for a summer internship or faculty-mentored research project through the Richmond Guarantee. And we’ve made important progress in diversifying our university community.
Yet, we have more work to do to extend opportunity and offer equity of experience. We must continue to grapple with our past and acknowledge that our doors weren’t always open to people of all backgrounds. We must create an enormous sense of belonging for all our community members. And we must do more to provide additional aid to middle-income families.
I invite you to join me in thinking about advancing access and affordability and encourage you to think in new ways. Times of leadership change present opportunities to think differently. If you have an idea for how to improve the lives of our students, please tell me. I remain eager to listen and learn from our vibrant Spider community.
Spiders have a rich history of working together to achieve transformational change, including growing Richmond from a small regional university into one of the nation’s top liberal arts institutions. I have no doubt that our community will rise to today’s challenges. Please join me on inauguration day when we celebrate our university and take our next steps toward becoming unquestionably the best small university in the world, where excellence, belonging, access, and affordability are synonymous with the Richmond name.
MAKE PLANS FOR INAUGURATION

➤ ACCESSIBILITY
One major upgrade of the project was the installation of the building’s first elevator. It makes the upper floors, including the great hall, accessible to wheelchair users and others who cannot climb stairs.
What’s old is new
The building christened as Ryland Hall in 1914 now has its first major addition. The university completed construction of the Humanities Center, a new wing, and renovated the entire facility in time for the start of the fall semester. It is the biggest change to the building since its conversion from a library to faculty
offices after the construction of Boatwright Memorial Library in 1955. The project added a centralized hub for the humanities, an archaeology lab, a patio, a display space for the Ancient World Gallery, and multiple interior upgrades. And yes, the great hall is preserved and as beautiful as ever.
ACCOLADES
Another high ranking
U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges 2022 ranking put the University of Richmond No. 22 among national liberal arts colleges for the second year in a row. This ranking matches UR’s highest from U.S. News. The guide also put Richmond at No. 25 on its “Best Value” list among national liberal arts colleges, tying its spot from last year.
The Robins School of Business jumped 13 places in the rankings of undergraduate business schools, moving up to No. 84. The school came in at No. 29 for international business.
SUSTAINABILITY
Goats
They’re baaaack.
The sustainability office arranged for a return visit by a herd of 40 to 60 goats from RVA Goats and Honey to clear unwanted vegetation from the eco-corridor. The goats, which were first on campus in 2018, quickly clear out invasive species like porcelain berry, English ivy, and Japanese stilt grass.
“The goats have a voracious appetite, and they eat just about everything,” Rob Andrejewski, director of sustainability, told a local television station covering their appearance.
In November, the Princeton Review highlighted Richmond as one of the nation’s most environmentally responsible campuses, listing it for the 12th consecutive year in its Guide to Green Colleges
Richmond’s humanities disciplines have a new home.

INNOVATION
A vax app for that
When Rick Klau, L’96, got his first COVID-19 vaccine shot, he put the CDC vaccination card in his wallet. Then, he realized how easily he could lose it.
“To me, it appeared obvious that the paper CDC card was likely to get lost, left at home, or destroyed in the laundry — making it difficult, if not impossible, for residents to prove their vaccination status,” he said.
His next thought: “I can fix that.” Klau, chief technology innovation officer for the state of California, and his team landed on the SMART Health Card — a digital record of health information such as test results and vaccinations. Multiple states use the system, which allows users to save their information digitally and print a copy if necessary.
His team released a digital COVID19 vaccine record portal in June. The
system gives Californians a digital record that includes a QR code for verifying vaccination status. Within two weeks, it delivered more than 1 million digital vaccine records.
“A growing number of states have followed our lead, along with pharmacies and health systems,” Klau said.
“More than 100 million Americans now have access to a SMART Health Card. Not only is it easy for residents to share their records; it’s also easy for businesses and employers to verify the accuracy of those records.”
Klau said his time at Richmond taught him to step up and take risks.
“UR encouraged me to try new things and to engage my curiosity,” he said. “My time at UR paved the way for me to take ideas and shape them into impactful technological outcomes.”
RICHMOND’S STATUS
Richmond began the spring semester hopeful that immunization rates will have risen enough and community transmission rates dropped enough that it would soon be safe to lift mask mandates for the first time since spring 2020.
For the latest updates on UR’s COVID-19 status and response, go to richmond.edu/ coronavirus.
When media cover news and events, they come to Richmond for perspective and expertise. Here’s a sample of recent stories that put the university in the news:
Leadership studies assistant professor LAUREN HENLEY wrote about what higher education can learn from professors like her who started their first faculty jobs during the pandemic. “Many of us who were new to academe enjoyed the relative weightlessness of the unknown,” she wrote. “Unlike our veteran colleagues, we didn’t know what we’d ‘lost,’ because we had nothing to compare our new jobs to.”
SAIF MEHKARI, associate professor of economics, described vaccine mandates as a mixed bag for employers because of socioeconomic polarization, noting that lower-wage workers might be more hesitant to get the shot than their corporate counterparts.
MATTHEW OWARE, Irving May Professor of Human Relations, offered perspective on Lil Nas X’s challenge to gender norms in rap music, noting the genre’s long embrace of boundary-pushing. “What Lil Nas X is doing by upping the ante is no different than what we see a stereotypical, heterosexual rapper do.”
Modern Farmer reprinted a piece from The Conversation by KRISTINE GRAYSON, associate professor of biology, on the promise of wasps for controlling emerald ash borers. “Four wasp species ... have gone through the [USDA] approval process for field release.”
“Just because something in the sky is strange doesn’t mean it is from another planet,” JACK SINGAL, associate professor of physics, noted in a story on what purported UFO videos really show.

AROUND CAMPUS
Students step up
Two student organizations — West Indian Lynk and the Solidarity Organization for Latinx Students — launched a 10-day donation drive this fall to aid victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti, according to The Collegian. An earthquake struck the country’s southwest peninsula Aug. 14., killing more than 2,200 people and injuring thousands more.
“A lot of our members are either from Haiti or have Haitian relations,” Jordan Richardson, president of WIL, told The Collegian. “A lot of us are directly from the Caribbean islands. So it definitely came from a place that was more personal. And we were like, ‘OK, we have this mission to kind of help, and this is something that is personal and affects all of us.’”
Richardson estimated that the drive raised more than $3,700 in cash and donated items, far exceeding the original goal of $500.
Public scholars
The university’s academic excellence continues to gain international exposure through a partnership the university launched in 2018 with The Conversation. The Conversation is an independent news outlet specializing in articles written by academics for a general audience. All of its articles are distributed by the Associated Press and made available to news outlets worldwide.
Since the launch of the partnership, 47 UR faculty members have authored 80 articles (including “Salt’s Secret power” on Page 12). Their work has been republished more than 2,500 times — an average of about 30 times each — for a potential readership of nearly 6 billion.
WELL-EARNED
Tina Cade, who has been at UR since 1987, will retire in February. Her announcement came via an email from Steve Bisese, vice president for student development. He spoke for many Spiders when he wrote that Cade “has had a transformational impact on the institution and on generations of students for whom she represented the very best of the university.”
FELLOWSHIPS
CLIMATE The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization selected Sandra Joireman, Weinstein Chair of International Studies and a professor of political science, as a research fellow. She is part of an international team investigating how communities are impacted by the intersection of climate change and violent conflict.
Quite a space
To get to her new office on the second floor of Whitehurst Hall, Tina Cade walks down a renovated corridor that tells the story of UR’s growing inclusivity. It houses the offices of her colleagues in the newly formed Student Center for Equity and Inclusion, which she oversees as director and associate vice president for student development.
One colleague is a senior associate director focused on meeting the needs of students of color. Another is an associate director focused on programming for first-generation and low-income students. A third is an associate director for LGBTQ campus life.
Other offices are awaiting their first occupants. The university is conducting searches for new positions that will expand the SCEI’s capacity to serve Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Latinx students.
The SCEI results from the merger
of Multicultural Affairs and Common Ground. The two offices worked together to identify shared goals, programs, resources, and services.
“By merging our two offices, we were able to combine our strengths and offer the most effective support for underserved students,” Cade said.
“Student” is intentionally the first word of the new center’s name, and the SCEI’s layout reflects that. The space offers an expanded LGBTQ lounge and student office space for the Race and Racism Project. It also includes a multicultural student space — something students strongly advocated for.
“To me, making space is the simplest display of love,” said Anthony Lawrence, president of the Richmond College Student Government Association and an advocate for the multicultural space. “It makes others feel valued and lets voices be heard.”

Sometimes it’s three to four years from the time we meet the prospective client; sometimes it resolves in months.
How does being based in Texas affect your life and work?
The only time I haven’t been in Texas was when I went to Richmond for four years. I wanted to come right back because it’s where my family is from, where I grew up, a vibrant and friendly place to be in.
North Texas has attracted a lot of corporate headquarters relocations — Toyota and State Farm among others — so we’re in a great spot.

Interview by Ellen Ryan
By Julie Pollock,
Salt’s secret power
Salt doesn’t melt ice — here’s how it actually makes winter streets safe.
Brrr … it’s cold out there! Children are flocking to the television in hopes of hearing there will be a snow day; the bread and milk aisles at grocery stores are empty because of an impending snowstorm; and utility trucks are out spraying salt or salt water on the roads.
#SPIDERPRIDE
Pollock describes herself on Twitter as “a chemical biologist working on cancer research and teaching the next generation.”
Her enthusiasm for students showed through in a tweet she sent as Thanksgiving break approached: “My #organicchemistry students rocked the synthesis practice problems during our exam review today.
I’m feeling optimistic for the exam on Thursday.”
We all know why the first two happen — kids are excited for a day off of school filled with hot chocolate and snowmen. Adults are stocking up on necessities. But what’s up with those trucks?
They’re working to protect drivers from slippery conditions by spraying rock salt or a solution of salt water to prevent ice formation. This salt is very similar to the salt you have on your dinner table — it’s the same sodium chloride, NaCl. Some proprietary mixtures contain other salts — such as potassium chloride (KCl) and magnesium chloride (MgCl) — but they’re not as commonly used.
Road salt isn’t as pure as what you use on your food; it has a brownish-gray color, mostly due to mineral contamination. Subjecting the environment to this salt via runoff can have some unintended con-
sequences including negative effects on plants, aquatic animals, and wetlands.
But it’s a cheap and effective way to protect roads from ice due to a simple scientific principle: freezing point depression of solutions. The freezing point of pure water, the temperature at which it becomes ice, is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. So if there’s snow, sleet, or freezing rain, and the ground is 32 F or colder, solid ice will form on streets and sidewalks.
If the water is mixed with salt, though, the freezing temperature of the solution is lower than 32 F. The salt impedes the ability of the water molecules to form solid ice crystals. The degree of freezing point depression depends on how salty the solution is.
It’s important to note that the salt must be in a solution with liquid water in order for this principle to be obeyed. That’s why many cities spray a salt solution before any ice forms.
Salt that’s dumped on top of ice relies on the sun or the friction of car tires driving over it to initially melt the ice to a slush that can mix with the salt and then won’t refreeze. Pretreating with solid salt relies
on the warmer road surface to initially melt any snow or freezing rain so that it can properly mix with the salt. This is also why pretreatment of bridges — which are colder than other roads — does not typically work, and why you see “bridge freezes before road” signs.
These salt solutions decrease the freezing temperature of water to around 15 F. So, unfortunately for folks facing truly frigid temps, treating with salt won’t get rid of ice on their roads.
An alternative strategy used at these lower temperatures is putting sand on the ice. Sand doesn’t change the melting temperature, it just provides a rough surface for your tires to prevent slipping and sliding.
The science of freezing point depression can be applied to any solution, and many research groups have focused on developing alternatives with fewer negative environmental consequences. They include additives such as molasses and beet juice. So maybe you can look forward to cleaning not just white salt off the bottom of your jeans after a winter walk, but pink salt as well.

A good match
Once again, the Spider community stepped up in a big way during Spiders Helping Spiders in November.
More than 1,000 donors made gifts to enable Spiders to stay on track when they need help and prepare for work and life after graduation. Their gifts totaled more than $545,000.
The fundraising total was boosted by an anonymous alumna and her spouse, who pledged to match every gift twice — to two different funds — up to $250,000. Donors fully met the match. The alumna who offered it said she was inspired by the way the Spider community comes together to support students with financial needs, according to Kim Lebar, director of annual giving.
In addition to the double-match challenge, other alumni and families offered an unprecedented level of matching gifts.
More than 600 alumni, 400 parents, and nearly 100 faculty and staff (with some overlap among categories) contributed. Young alumni accounted for almost a quarter of alumni donors.
This year’s effort raised the most support of any Spiders Helping Spiders campaign, which is now in its fourth year. The annual fall campaign focuses on financial aid, the Student Emergency Fund, and the Career Opportunity Fund — areas that increase access and affordability for all students.
Live from UR
NewsNation put Richmond in the national spotlight with a live broadcast on the eve of Virginia’s November election.
The show On Balance with Leland Vittert aired live from the Student Activities Complex with special coverage of the Virginia governor’s race the night before Election Day. Vittert interviewed political science professor Dan Palazzolo, an expert on Virginia politics, and law professor Hank Chambers, an expert on voting rights, during the broadcast.
Well done
Zachary Brooks, ’24, received the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s Citizen Honor Youth Service Award for his efforts to advocate for autism acceptance by creating two programs in his New Jersey hometown. One showcases art by individuals with developmental disabilities; the other brings community members together to collaborate and converse about different abilities.
“The focus is on abilities, not limitations,” he said.
Naming principles
FAR AND WIDE
Alumni in classes 1952 to 2021 made gifts during Spiders Helping Spiders. Their support came from 42 states and China, Japan, Romania, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
More than 7,000 members of the Spider community completed a survey commissioned by the Naming Principles Committee this fall. The commission is charged with developing principles to guide university decisions about naming and renaming buildings, spaces, programs, and other parts of campus named for groups or individuals.
The survey, which was conducted by Gallup Inc., provides data about Spiders’ views on what these principles should be. During the fall, the commission also hosted 17 listening sessions with students, faculty, staff, and alumni that drew more than 300 participants. It is expected to release top-line results from Gallup and provide its recommendations in the spring semester.

A grant to the School of Professional and Continuing Studies will help more Virginia teachers transition from provisional licensure to full licensure and encourage more new teachers to work in high-poverty schools.
The funding — up to $386,322 over two years from the R.E.B. Foundation in Richmond — will reduce costs for the coursework that provisionally licensed teachers take through SPCS’s Teacher Licensure Completion program to become fully qualified teachers.
The grant also provides support for UR’s School-based Teacher Education Program, or STEP. The program offers a paid, yearlong alternative to the traditional unpaid 15-week student teaching experience for UR graduate students dedicated to working in high-poverty schools. After the residency year, newly licensed graduates receive monthly mentoring support from education faculty for an additional year. The foundation funding will allow faculty to study, improve, and share the STEP model statewide.
The R.E.B. Foundation supports education, music, and the arts, as well as the revitalization of underprivileged inner cities and neighborhoods. For more information about SPCS programs, go to spcs. richmond.edu.
... and innovation
The Jason and Jaime Brown Family Foundation and the RB Charitable Foundation gave UR a $1 million gift to accelerate the development of UR’s Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship initiative. The early-stage investment will allow UR to launch new programming and significantly expand student, faculty, and staff opportunities.
PILGRIMAGES
Arizona is one of several destinations for chaplaincy pilgrimages. In the spring, students will travel to New York City to explore its connections with the shared holy lands of the Abrahamic faiths. Another group will travel to Cody, Wyoming, to examine Christian spiritual practices.
GRANTS
MUSIC Two professors are using a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to preserve the nation’s musical heritage.
Professors Joanna Love and Andy McGraw will use the funding to identify the best methods for collecting and archiving data for music events that are promoted online. The goal is to preserve the information for study by future researchers.
WELLBEING
A desert respite
On an October day, 12 students gathered in the desert Southwest for a period of silence. When they returned 24 hours later, Jamie Lynn Haskins, chaplain for spiritual life, asked them a question: “What did you hear in the silence?”
The contemplative exercise was one of the spiritual tools Haskins and Waleed Ilyas, Muslim life chaplain, offered during Pilgrimage: Arizona. The four-day trip set amid the Santa Catalina Mountains was a way to practice reflective thinking and help students find their own ways of considering life’s big questions.
Pilgrimage: Arizona is one of several travel experiences planned by the Chaplaincy this academic year. Location is a key consideration. The openness of rural Arizona creates the conditions for awareness and
grounding. The group also met with a member of the Tohono O’odham tribe to explore how to practice contemplative disciplines with integrity.
By introducing a variety of practices, Haskins hopes the participants will create space for self-care, healing, and contemplation.
Underneath an inky black sky as shooting stars streaked above, sophomore Abby Dalton connected with Haskins over the challenges of transitioning from a difficult childhood to a healthy and stable adulthood.
“The work for my chemistry [degree] is easy,” she said. “The work to heal my inner traumas is not as simple. Talking with [Haskins] felt like becoming a healthy adult is not only possible but probable with all of the inner healing I am committing to.”
Chaplaincy pilgrimages are helping students to cultivate a life of meaning, purpose, and holistic well-being.

Biology professor Peter Smallwood, an ecologist who researches conservation and wildlife, recently wondered whether there were any cicada killer wasp nests on campus. And he knew just whom to ask — gardener Larry Richmond.
“Gardener” is just one of the many titles that could apply to Richmond. Aquarist. Outdoorsman. Animal enthusiast. “Snake man,” landscape services supervisor Karen Williams said with a laugh. “We call him our snake man.”
Richmond has worked at the university for about a decade, and while his main responsibility is maintaining the gardening beds near the Gottwald Science Center, he’s also widely known as the “go-to” for all things wildlife.
“Facilities knows if they get a call about any sort of wildlife issue on campus, Larry is the guy,” Williams said.
With his shift beginning at 6:30 a.m., Richmond says he sees the “transition from night to day animals,” providing him the opportunity to study — and occasionally interact with — a variety of campus creatures.
“Larry is observant, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about wildlife, and he’s the kind of person I can ask questions of because he’s so familiar with the rhythms of campus,” Smallwood said.
“He’s the boots on the ground, and I consider him to be my ecological eyes and ears when I’m in my office or teaching class.”
“People would be amazed at what they might see if they took the time to notice.”
Richmond is self-taught and says he watches documentaries and reads extensively to study the wildlife he encounters. His years of experience have paid off many times. He has relocated nonpoisonous black and brown snakes to quieter areas of campus, rescued opossums from trash
cans, and helped turtles who have traveled too far from the lake find their way back home. In fact, he and Smallwood first met during an animal rescue after a black snake became trapped in sod netting.
“I needed some assistance, and I knew about Peter’s expertise, so I took the snake to his office,” Richmond said.
Together, they freed the snake, and Richmond returned it to a safe location. Since then, they routinely keep in touch and discuss animals.
“He has the same enthusiasm I do, and we both have a vested interest in the wildlife on campus,” Richmond said.
Richmond’s passion doesn’t apply just to campus fauna. He also works part time at a private pet store and has nearly 50 freshwater and saltwater fish and four geckos at home. Being around animals and nature recharges his batteries, he said, and he encourages others to take a moment to appreciate the nature on campus.
“We have the beautiful eco-corridor, but campus itself is like an eco-corridor,” Richmond said. “I’ve seen people walking around looking at their phones and not notice a deer standing 10 feet away from them. People would be amazed at what they might see if they took the time to notice.”
SPIDER FAMILY
Richmond was familiar with UR long before he became an employee. His father has been a maintenance technician in the carpentry shop for more than 20 years.
“I spent a lot of time on this campus fishing and hiking the trails long before I worked here, especially in the summer,” the younger Richmond said.
FLORA AND FAUNA Colleagues call campus gardener Larry Richmond “our snake man.” He is a go-to expert for anything related to campus wildlife.

➤ A BREAKDOWN ARTIST
You’d better be in shape if you are in the court opposite Dunbar. Her main weapon is her consistency. “Most of my points are going to be long,” she said. “I’m not going to go for a winner right off the bat. I basically move opponents side to side and don’t miss. People get frustrated by it.”
“May we all be as comfortable at home.”
JOHN HARDT , athletics director, commenting on Spider soccer’s 2021 fall home record. The team went 6-1-1 on President’s Field.
TENNIS QUOTATION
Ready to rally
Emily Dunbar has been the A-10’s Rookie of the Year and Spider athletics’ Newcomer of the Year. But there’s an accolade she’s still after as a graduate student playing in her last year of eligibility: conference champ.
She and her teammates have come tantalizingly close. They reached the A-10 finals in 2019 and 2021 and missed an opportunity when the pandemic led to the cancellation of the 2020 tournament.
“We’ve been close multiple years now,” she said. “I definitely want to win conference.”
The Dunbar family has been a steady presence in Richmond tennis for more than a decade. Her brother Ethan left Medina, Ohio, for Richmond’s courts in 2010 and became UR’s first nationally ranked tennis
player. Her other brother, Jacob, followed in 2013 and set new program records for single-season and career victories. Emily started her Spider career in 2017.
“They were one of the reasons I came [to Richmond],” she said, “but I don’t feel pressure or anything like that.”
She has more than held her own, earning First Team A-10 honors in 2018, 2019, and 2021 and leading her team during its conference runs. As the Spiders enter the spring season, she’s working to help the team make a run to another tournament and lift that elusive trophy.
“I’m just continuing to improve and work on things and hope to feel like I’m playing well when I’m finishing,” she said.
He’s the champ
Senior cross-country runner Peter Borger became Richmond’s rst individual Atlantic 10 champion since 2010 with a spectacular performance in the conference championship race. His teammate Stuart Terrill, A-10 Rookie of the Year in spring 2021, took third place. The Spiders nished fth in the team standings.
Borger lay low for most of the championship race, lurking just off the front of the pack while staying close enough to cover any moves. He made his winning surge with about 800 meters to go in the 8K race.
“When I made the turn with 350 [meters] to go, I knew I had it and picked it up all the way in,” he said.
A surge for soccer
Spider soccer’s revitalization continues. This fall, the team returned to the Atlantic 10 postseason for the rst time since 2014 after posting its highest conference win total since 2011. The team nished 5-5 in conference play and 7-10-1 overall. It earned the No. 7 seed in the A-10 tournament and fell to Dayton in the quarter nal round.
Junior forward Jessie Prillaman and graduate student mid elder T.J. Anderson led the Spider attack with 11 goals between them during the season. Junior forward Molly Wierman was the assists leader, with six.

MEN’S BASKETBALL The Spiders are one of four men’s basketball teams with four or more “super seniors,” so-called because of a COVID-19-related extra year of NCAA eligibility. It wasn’t a given they’d all be back.
When he steps to the center circle for a game-opening tipoff, forward Grant Golden has something particular on his mind.
“I try to soak in the moment and remember how lucky I am to be here,” he said.
At this season’s opening tipoff, he had reason to feel the luckiest he’s ever felt.
Nathan Cayo, Nick Sherod, and Jacob Gilyard were with him on the court as starters. All four were granted an extra year of eligibility due to the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Any of them could have pursued a lucrative contract to play professionally this year. Instead, they all returned to Richmond for one more season.
Their bonus season together started on a Tuesday night in November in the Robins Center against North Carolina Central. When the referee blew the whistle and tossed up the ball, Golden outjumped his opponent and tipped it to Cayo, as he’s done so many times before.
“We’re more than teammates,” Cayo said. “We’re like brothers.”
Head coach Chris Mooney has been with these four players for years, but he didn’t want to pressure them to come back. Any season is long and hard, and the players had opportunities they needed to consider. In fact, when Mooney and the other coaches met to talk about the extra eligibility year, they agreed not to mention it to the players.
Mooney was “overjoyed and humbled,” he said, when they all came back on their own.
Jacob Gilyard came to him rst.
Returning meant the chance for him to break the NCAA career record for most steals (see Page 72). On opening night against NC Central, he played every second and tied his career high of seven steals in one game.
“I’m always looking at the ball, seeing where it’s going, anticipating,” he said. “I feel like if you know where the ball’s going to go, you have a lot better chance.” He was talking about stealing, but it’s a pretty good philosophy for life, too.
Sherod thought he was done with basketball after a preseason knee injury in fall 2020. But after months of re ection, he decided to go all in for one last season.
“You don’t get many times to get to do something like this over again with the people that you care about and love,” he said. “It’s truly amazing.”
When Cayo heard his teammates were coming back for another season, he knew he had to join them.
“I just felt like we were pretty much robbed like a year and a half,” he said. “And with the other guys coming back, I felt like it was a great opportunity to do something special.”
Golden agreed. Last season didn’t end the way he wanted it to, so he couldn’t pass up a big return.
“The idea of being able to come back, play with my best friends for one more year — that’s something that just can never be taken away from you,” Golden said. “So I just want to try and give it one more shot.”

1,489 MILES, 19 DAYS, 1 SPIDER IN ECUADOR
STORY AND PICTURES
BY LOGAN JONES-WILKINS, ’23
“Counting the days down [was] impossible. All that was really possible was riding, reporting, and repeating. The present was so gloriously unstoppable and the task always so simple.”
Photograph by Ramiro Fernandez
IIlike to think that my research trip in the summer of 2021 was born from some grand, overarching quest for academic enlightenment. In reality, it sprang from a cycling obsession and an indulgence in adventure.
In August, I went on a 1,500mile cycling trip around the South American country of Ecuador. Over the two and a half weeks of riding through most corners of the country, I conducted interviews, documented my sensations, and built a story around the country’s roads and the politics surrounding them.
Regardless of the origin of initial intentions, my expedition to Ecuador became a seminal experience of my time here at the university. Academics have always operated in a separate sphere from my background as an elite cyclist. Cycling was my lonely pursuit, something tacked onto my duties as a student. Over the 18 days in this small Andean country, with only myself and fleeting strangers for company, my two paths came together.
THE IMPETUS
Cycling is more than a hobby for me. Outside of school I am a funded, sponsored competitive cyclist. Over my seven-year career, I have raced in more than 30 states and in four countries. Now, I juggle school, gravel and road racing, and writing for my bike sponsor, Rodeo Adventure Labs.
People ask me whether I will ride the Tour de France. While I sure would like to, the Tour de France is a massive sporting event for the most elite of the elite athletes on the planet. I am, not for a lack of effort, not one of those athletes. Plus, the academics at Richmond would be tough to juggle with the 30-hour training weeks of a world tour cyclist. Nevertheless, the Tour is a great model for any cyclists interested in challenging themselves with their own version of the race. All you need are three weeks, an ambitious spirit, and a country worth exploring.
My research trip, at its heart, was a DIY tour of Ecuador, three weeks of riding that connected me to its far-flung peripheries. While the Tour de France peloton has massage therapists, chefs, and buses to shuttle riders to only the most delectable routes the country has to offer, I had a couple of bags on my bike and frequent convenience stores — or tiendas — to satisfy my simple carbohydrate needs. I thought of myself in the model of the classic Tour cyclists of the early 20th century, with no services in cars behind the race caravan and tubes and tires wrapped around their bodies. We were both restrained on our rides by the burdens of chores — food, laundry, a place to sleep — that the contemporary Tour pro needs no part of.
But the main difference between myself and a Tour cyclist was that for me, the cycling was just the background, not the purpose, of the trip. In a certain way, the cumbersome logistics of the project kept it manageable. The enormity and complexity of the moving parts were always present, which made counting the days down impossible. All that was really possible was riding, reporting, and repeating. The present was so gloriously unstoppable and the task always so simple.
THE ACADEMICS
Cycling was a means to an end. While the challenge was physical, the success of my experience was not in the riding. Cycling was an intentional process for reporting on larger academic issues. I sought to understand my subject — roads — by using them in the most raw way possible.
At its heart, my research, supported by Richmond Guarantee funding, focused on the roads of Ecuador. Roads are the fundamental lifeline in this country resplendent with the geography of three distinct “worlds.” For recent Ecuadorian governments, roads have been a central populist prop connecting the dialogue across the nation. Over the last two decades, the country’s roads have improved, but at what cost?
Even before the pandemic, Ecuador’s economic fissures caused protest and upheaval. With the pandemic leveling additional havoc for the developing country, the
The route Jones-Wilkins’ journey took him the length and breadth of Ecuador, where he had the opportunity to see and feel how the government’s road-building investment aff ected regions diff erently. Over his nearly 1,500 miles of riding, he ascended and descended mountains, rode through rainforests, and crossed the equator six times.
Total distance: 1,489 miles (i.e., from Richmond to Denver)
Total elevation gain: 116,935 ft (4.03 Mt. Everests)
Total cycling time: 101h, 25m (average ~6h per stage)
Fastest speed: 53.5 mph (stage 3)
Energy expended: 60,851 kcal (132 servings of D-hall’s Jersey Dirt)
Flat tires: 1 (one in every crowd, right?)
ROADS LESS TRAVELED AND PLENTY TRAVELED
The word “road” denotes more a category than a specifi c surface. As he pedaled the roads of Ecuador, Jones-Wilkins encountered everything from smooth pavement to dirt paths interrupted by streams. On rare occasions, he could relax on a protected cycle path, but mostly he rode alongside motorized traffi c in whatever weather the current biome off ered on that day. The politics of Ecuador’s roads were the subject of his academic research.
STUFF IS IMPORTANT. On a bike pack, it’s exponentially more important because it’s directly related to comfort, safety, effort, and efficiency. Here are #8things that were my ticket to a good trip:
1. Probably least expected, my trusty fruit knife. In a country with yearround fruit but also bad water, cutting fruit is a distinct key to happiness.
2. Toothpaste and brush. Holy heck, I ate a lot of sugar. Thus, my teeth got BEAT.
3. Lube. It’s gritty and wet down here, y’all. Used two full bottles. My poor chains.
4. A real-ass paper map. Perspective is everything, and tech doesn’t always work. I looked at this map every day, and it made the scope of the journey apparent. That being said …
5. My computer. Man, GPS things are #sosweet.
6. Sun cream. Although the equator is not nearly as warm as I would like, the sun down here is REAL.
7. Jacket (inside this pouch). Like I said, it’s cold down here! And it rains in the rainforest. Who knew?
8. Last, where the rubber meets the road. Glass, cobbles, dirt, pavement, 1,500 miles, one flat.
times have been changing. The leftist politics that brought recent road projects to fruition have been replaced by the conservative voices of bankers as the ebbs and flows of politics have swung with the tides of public perception.
I sought to answer the questions produced by the politics. Throughout my riding, politics were inescapable. Guillermo Lasso, the current president, had managed a campaign that seemed to place his face in every nook and cranny of the nation, even four months after the election. Simultaneously, the failures of his predecessor’s projects wore like scars among the accomplishments.
While I had unanswered questions after my time on the roads, my time pedaling allowed a kind of osmosis of information. Small anecdotes added details to the observations and deep conversations I found. Among the proverbial weeds were the gems that seemed to matter most but were visible only with the vulnerability of slow, intentional travel.
THE GOOD
In the United States, geography seems expanded. Across our broad nation, the landscape offers gradual, sweeping fades from one biome to another. While the forests of the Eastern Seaboard are the opposite of the dry deserts of Arizona, the space between the two is an entire continent. Our geological and ecological diversity is the product of our grand space.
Ecuador is not grand from a perspective of scale. Its greatness is in its condensed splendor, its thousands of distinct ecologies in a country just a tad smaller than Nevada. For 1,500 miles, the surroundings I passed through were a montage of equatorial diversity, every hill offering a new spectrum of natural beauty.
The fourth day of my journey, for instance, took me from the heart of the mountains in Ibarra to the low-slung forests of the coastal hinterland. Between them, I traversed a sinuous cobble pass over a classic Andean scrub forest as three worlds stretched out before me. Like a tapestry
“That is an ugly truth behind the beauty of the tropics: Being there is seldom comfortable.”
THE UGLY
It might be just me, but in my dreams, paradise isn’t wet. I rode for days through the green flesh of Ecuador’s tropical coastal plains and coastlines wondering if that would be the day my shoes might dry. It never was that day.
That is an ugly truth behind the beauty of the tropics: Being there is seldom comfortable. Yet that ugliness relates only to questions of comfort. Below the heavy, low-flying clouds and around the drenched, soiled streets are the colors and majesty of a nature as rich as any in the world.
draped in front of me, the farms of the highlands, the jungles filling the sunken valleys, and the high mines of the barren yonder slopes offered panoramic hues of nature that are impossible in most places around the world.
THE BAD
Cobblestones are a contradiction in the world of cycling. In the sports lore and some hipster retrospective persuasions, cobbles are emblematic of a bygone romance. Streets of tightly packed mosaics of stone look truly timeless. They are also, simply put, the worst possible road surface to pedal a bike over.
Ecuador’s main thoroughfares are generally magnificent demonstrations of human might. However, the auxiliary routes tucked into the country’s intricacies are paved with the brutalist irregularities of stone.
These stones are beautiful at a glance. Laid in tight, steep switchbacks cutting caminos through Ecuador’s ecologies, cobblestones are the bedrock of rural transportation. But this bedrock will rattle all who pass over them, begging the traveler to slow down and stay just a little longer.
Over and over, I shivered my way into another dimly lit hotel room where hot water was scarce, and I could only be happy at what had happened. In my ugly discomfort was the majesty that brought me there.
THE TAKEAWAY
Ecuador provided a monstrous challenge of faith — not faith in a traditional sense, but faith in a broader stroke. At its origin, the experience was as exciting as it was daunting. At its precipice, when I boarded my plane to Quito, the same feeling lingered. Even as I boarded my flight home three days before the fall semester, the process was still just a terrifying exploration of a dream. Only now, after a steady digestion, do I have confidence in my own capacity to continue to find my feet in my own path of reporting.
As my future beckons, I yearn for more of that terrifying anticipation. I’ve seen that a quest into the unknown is always better than a familiar tale. After all, college isn’t where we go to find answers. It’s where we go to find the next question. Now, I am full of questions. That is how I know I did a good job.

AN INSIDER’S LOOK AT SOME OF RICHMOND’S MOST INTRIGUING COURSES
ne of the University of Richmond’s chief points of distinction is its small size. When you’re a student here, your faculty ask about your goals and want to be mentors. You know your classmates. A walk from one end of campus to the other could take less than 15 minutes — that is, if you weren’t stopping to say hi to someone every hundred yards.
One part of campus defies this quality — the curriculum. Every semester, Richmond’s course catalog achieves a breadth that would be enviable for an institution twice our size. Here’s a look at just a few of the courses that caught our eye as we browsed the current catalog wishing we could do it all over again.
UNIVERSITY of RICHMOND CURRICULUM
ASTROBIOLOGY
AMY TREONIS, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF BIOLOGY
WHY TAKE IT? Is there life on Mars? How will we know it when we see it? This course introduces students to the hypotheses and research methods scientists are using to figure out whether we are alone in the universe at a time new exoplanets are being identified at an exponential rate.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Learn how biologists think and work. You’ll be introduced to interdisciplinary approaches, examine controversy and bias in scientific thinking, and learn to recognize limits in data interpretation. Along the way, you’ll evaluate a soil sample from an extreme Earth environment (Death Valley, California) to evaluate a hypothesis about the presence of life.
ON THE SYLLABUS:
• Lonely Planets: The Natural Philosophy of Alien Life by David Grinspoon
• Articles from Nature, Scientific American, and science journals
WORTH NOTING: NASA’s Perseverance rover is right now collecting samples on Mars that could help identify biosignatures of ancient microbial life. The samples are expected to arrive on Earth in the early 2030s, when today’s students will be early-career researchers.
KEPLER186F
KEPLER62F
KEPLER62E
ADED 301U GENEALOGY AND ECONOMIC HISTORY
JOHN ZINN, ADJUNCT PROFESSOR OF LIBERAL ARTS
WHY TAKE IT? Because Finding Your Roots is your favorite PBS show, and you’re eager to conduct your own serious genealogical and historical research.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Research the life of an ancestor. You’ll root around in old photos, archives, census records, and other primary sources, plus research the broader economic forces that impacted this ancestor’s life. At the end, you’ll synthesize it in a rich, multimedia ArcGIS StoryMap that combines images, text, maps, and more to tell your ancestor’s story.
INFO 303 Machine Learning for the Business Analyst
ON THE SYLLABUS:
• Ancestry.com (library edition via Boatwright Library)
• Interviews with family elders and other forms of intergenerational learning
• “The Danger of a Single Story,” a TED Talk by novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
TOM MATTSON, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ANALYTICS AND OPERATIONS
WORTH NOTING : This course counts toward the liberal arts major offered by the School of Professional and Continuing Studies.
WHY TAKE IT? Because you’re a businessperson who recognizes that although managers have limited cognitive capacity to find patterns in complex data, machine learning algorithms are exceptionally good at developing and testing decision-making models.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Take a data-driven — as opposed to theory-driven — approach to business analyses using supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms to find patterns related to business issues. This approach can be used, for example, to predict whether customers will complete an online transaction based on their web surfing patterns or to predict employee turnover by analyzing digital trace data on their laptops. You’ll also discuss ethical questions such as whether black-box models replicate bias and what to do when once-in-a-generation events (like COVID-19) shape data in anomalous ways.
ON THE SYLLABUS :
• “How to Win with Machine Learning” by Agrawal, Gans, and Goldfarb
• “Ethics and the Algorithm” by Parmar and Freeman
WORTH NOTING : The course satisfies one of the requirements for the secondary concentration in business analytics for business administration majors.
MEDICAL HUMANITIES
RICK MAYES, PROFESSOR OF HEALTH POLICY
WHY TAKE IT? Because you’re a future health care practitioner or policymaker who recognizes that medical practice is about more than the science of the body.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Tackle ethical and interpersonal questions related to health care. You’ll explore what it’s like to become a patient or health care professional and study racial disparities. You’ll examine doctors, nurses, and hierarchy. Other topics include dentistry’s odd position in our health care system, addiction, mental health, opioids and psychedelics, aging and dying, obesity, women’s health, disability, and more.
ON THE SYLLABUS:

FREN 305 QU’EST-CE QUE LA FRANCE?
LIDIA RADI, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF FRENCH AND ITALIAN STUDIES
WHY TAKE IT? To strengthen your French fluency and deepen your understanding of French society by studying how the French grapple with questions of national identity. France’s challenges are distinctly French, but they also offer people elsewhere new perspectives on questions of race, immigration, colonialism, religious freedom, and other complex issues.
FRANCE’S CHALLENGES ARE DISTINCTLY FRENCH, BUT THEY ALSO OFFER PEOPLE ELSEWHERE
NEW PERSPECTIVES.
is an SSIR — Sophomore Scholars in Residence — so cocurricular learning activities are a fundamental part of the course design.
You’ll even live with your classmates as a cohort in residence halls.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Immerse yourself in today’s French culture with current books, TV series, and more. Engage in dialogue and write essays reacting to the issues they raise.
ON THE SYLLABUS:
• 10 episodes of Lupin, the hit Netflix series
• Le Voyage de Mon Père, Mon Départ by Michel Djiwonou, who also meets with the class via Zoom from Paris
• Comedian Trevor Noah’s reply after the French ambassador took issue with a joke celebrating the African roots of several star players on France’s World Cup-winning national soccer team.
WORTH NOTING: This is no intro class. Everything is in French — course discussions, writing assignments, even the syllabus.
Humility as a Political Leadership Virtue
KENNETH RUSCIO, SENIOR DISTINGUISHED LECTURER
WHY TAKE IT? To better understand humility’s effect on leadership in a democratic system of government. Should we want humble leaders, or does humility get in the way of qualities we value more?
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Read, discuss, and write about a variety of relevant ideas and different perspectives. From the syllabus: “This course is like hiking a winding mountain trail. There will be steep sections followed by level patches. There will be side trips along the way [and] occasional backtracking to make sure we didn’t leave anything behind. ... In the end, however, we will reach our destination and, I hope, marvel at a vista no one has seen before.”
“THIS COURSE IS LIKE HIKING A WINDING MOUNTAIN TRAIL. THERE WILL BE STEEP SECTIONS FOLLOWED BY LEVEL PATCHES.”
ON THE SYLLABUS:
• Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know by Adam Grant
• Selections from The Federalist Papers and Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America
• Thirteen Days in October , a fi lm about the Cuban Missile Crisis

ANTH 328 ANTHROPOLOGY OF HUMAN RIGHTS
JAN FRENCH, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ANTHROPOLOGY
WHY TAKE IT? We spend untold time and talent, not to mention billions of dollars of treasure, to protect what we call “human rights.” But where do ideas about human rights come from? How are they deployed in law and practice? What are the concept’s complications?
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Question assumptions about the term “human rights” and understand its uses and problems through readings, discussion, and a large research project. You’ll home in on topics such as women’s human rights, environmentalism, corporate social responsibility, ethnography, empathy, and violence.
ON THE SYLLABUS:
• The Art of Truth-telling About Authoritarian Rule, edited by Ksenija Bilbija et al.

DANC 306
UNIVERSITY DANCERS
ANNE VAN GELDER, DIRECTOR OF DANCE
WHY TAKE IT? To dance on the Alice Jepson Theatre stage. This course is the gateway to performing in the annual spring concert (Feb. 25–27 this year) of the University Dancers, UR’s student dance company.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Deepen your understanding of dance as communication and art. There will be master classes in a variety of genres and rehearsals for world premieres of original choreographed works by your peers, your faculty, and guest professionals who come for residencies. Some benefits will be physical: improved strength, flexibility, body balance, endurance, musicality, and coordination.
ON THE SYLLABUS:
• Auditions for choreographers
• Multiple costume fittings
• Community outreach matinee performances

DALE FICKETT, INSTRUCTOR IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP
WHY TAKE IT? You’re an entrepreneur, or you want to approach your work in a larger employer with a more entrepreneurial mindset.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Immerse yourself in an entrepreneurial experience. You’ll examine case studies and hear firsthand from entrepreneurs as you study lean principles, idea validation, proposed customer segments and channels, and how to approach investors. You’ll apply all of this by working with a Richmond entrepreneur or mobilizing a new venture concept.
ON THE SYLLABUS:
• Entrepreneurs as frequent guest lecturers, including Richard Kelly, former CEO of Nutriati and Robins School executive in residence
• “RVA Works: Empowering Entrepreneurs for Big Change,” a case study of the nonprofit accelerator your professor established
WORTH NOTING: The syllabus includes this line: “For those of you concerned about the workload in this course, it is — just like entrepreneurship — going to be strenuous.” Caveat subscriptor, students.
LAW 647/CLSC 320
CULTURAL PROPERTY: ARCHAEOLOGY, ETHICS, AND LAW
ELIZABETH BAUGHAN, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF CLASSICS AND ARCHAEOLOGY
WHY TAKE IT? Maybe you’ve seen an Egyptian obelisk in London, Paris, Rome, or New York City and wondered why it’s not in Egypt. Maybe you’ve read news stories about Jewish families suing for the return of art looted by Nazis or France returning cultural artifacts to Benin. This course explores ethical and legal issues related to cultural heritage management.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: Study ethical and legal debates about collecting going back to Cicero. Examine case studies today, such as the Elgin Marbles in the British Museum and a recent Hobby Lobby case involving looted artifacts originating in Iraq.
ON THE SYLLABUS:
• Stealing History: Tomb Raiders, Smugglers, and the Looting of the Ancient World by Roger Atwood
• Loot, Legitimacy and Ownership: The Ethical Crisis in Archaeology by Colin Renfrew

‘This is sacred ground’
With pilgrimages, discussions, and open hearts, the university and the descendant community are focused on next steps for creating an enduring memorial for the burying ground next to Puryear Hall.
BY MATTHEW DEWALD • PHOTOGRAPHS BY STEPHEN VOSS AND JAMIE BETTS
Early one evening in the fall semester, as the shortening days brought long shadows before five o’clock, I pushed open the back doors of Puryear Hall and turned left toward a parking lot. The sloping hill I descended is visible to me from my desk inside. I often look at it out the window when I’m searching for words. The view is to the south toward the river, and in autumn the leaves shimmer in the late afternoon light.
As I made my way through the browns, ochers, and oranges of the seasonal detritus, something pink caught my eye. Against the trunk of one of the loblolly pines that tower above our building, someone had left a small bouquet of fresh flowers. Though it was late November, they were lilies, a symbol of spring, rebirth, and hope.
The flowers were a sign of growing awareness of the importance of this patch of land. Two years ago, research undertaken by graduate student Shelby Driskill in the School of Professional and Continuing Studies and overseen by historian Lauranett Lee, who is now an adjunct professor and visiting university lecturer, concluded that this spot was likely a burying ground dating to before the Civil War. Furthermore, the people interred in what the report called the Westham Burying Ground almost certainly spent their lives enslaved by the land’s owners of the time.
Their report’s publication in December 2019 posed an obvious question for the university: What now? The university formed the Burying Ground Memorialization Committee to plan next steps. An important piece of the puzzle was not just how to move forward, but with whom. If people are buried here, then their descendants — if they can be identified — are also essential stakeholders on the question of memorialization.
Sam Burleigh, R’76, is one of the answers to the “with whom” question. Soft-spoken but gregarious, he came to UR with the first small wave of Black undergraduates in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He and his future wife, Anne, a white student who lived just behind campus on Westham Parkway, met the first day of classes in a music theory course. He played trumpet and she piano, so they also crossed paths in the practice rooms, and from there “it just kind of blossomed,” he said.

“ A pilgrimage is a journey of an unknown length. You’re going somewhere. You’re seeking something. You’re trying to find answers.”
They went to college dances and spring festivals — the kinds of things that college kids falling in love do. Most of his family accepted the interracial romance and welcomed Anne warmly, though some older folks had concerns he attributes to their Jim Crow experiences. Anne’s family offered responses that ranged from “amazing” and supportive to family members who stopped associating with her.
Friends embraced the relationship. “There were the stares and looks, occasional comments, that kind of thing, but that was just the way it was back in 1970,” Sam said. Only rarely did they feel physically at risk, a reality of the times.
When the couple married after their junior year, Anne was surprised to learn her father’s philosophy that tuition was now the newlyweds’ responsibility. Although she said she regrets not graduating from UR, she also feels fortunate that she was able to work and take night classes to finish her degree at VCU.
Mostly, the Burleighs had the ups and downs typical of any young couple — something they described to me on a Zoom call from their home in suburban Washington, D.C. As we talked, they sweetly finished each other’s thoughts as they talked about their lives a half century ago.
“Like any relationship, it takes a lot of work, and you have to really want it to work out —” she said.
“Everybody will get tested from time to time —” he said.
“But it really wasn’t because of racial differences —” she said.
“It’s just normal marital stuff —” he said.
“Like money,” she said.
But my contacting them had really been prompted by another topic. Sam Burleigh is among the people identified by the university who likely have ancestors in the burying ground. He wasn’t entirely surprised by the news. He knew his family had been in the area since before the Civil War. He also has a cousin, Brenda Dabney Nichols, who is a public historian and the author of African Americans of Henrico County. She is the keeper of the family’s
history, preserving memory of the years after the Civil War when their newly emancipated ancestors built free communities, some of which were very near the location of UR’s campus today. Nichols had also become a consultant to the Burying Ground Memorialization Committee, providing expertise and serving as a liaison with descendant communities. With her help, the university began contacting other people they could identify as likely having ancestral ties to the burying ground.
Unlike his cousin, Sam Burleigh wasn’t an expert on the family history when he got his letter from the university. “I remembered my dad had said the family owned property out in the Three Chopt Road area,” he said. “I didn’t pay that much attention to it. We just talked about the fact that it probably had substantial value, more than what they would have been able to get at the time they sold it.”
A genealogy sent as part of the committee’s outreach helped fill in more details. For example, when Sam’s grandfather, the Rev. Samuel L. Burleigh Jr., died in 1943, he lived on Three Chopt Road uphill from campus. Bandy Field Nature Park is there now, next to the strip mall where many UR students go grocery shopping today. Rev. Burleigh was born in Henrico, likely in 1874, as were his parents, likely in the 1850s, before emancipation. The Burleigh family roots stretched back to a time, place, and circumstances that matched everything known about the burying ground.
This level of detail and documentation about his ancestors was new information for Sam Burleigh. Americans’ experiences tracing their ancestry can vary widely. Some people with European roots have traced lineages back for generations into colonial times, even identifying specific ships that carried pre-Revolutionary War ancestors from European ports. For lines tracing families who fled the Holocaust, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Vietnam War, or other tumult of 20th century, even amateur researchers can usually go back to the moment of immigration and have an origin story about becoming an American.

“We all want to be recognized and seen and not forgotten. ”
The picture is vastly more complicated for African Americans whose families have been in the U.S. for generations. Enslaved people are not named in census records from 1860 and earlier. Until the 1870 census, most African Americans’ identities disappeared into slave schedules, typically listed only by age and sex, not name. Other pre-Civil War records, such as contracts, wills, and other documents about property transactions, sometimes often provide only the first names of enslaved people in passing, and they can be frustratingly inconsistent, difficult to locate, and challenging to interpret for genealogy purposes. The ships that carried these ancestors over the ocean did not, of course, record personal data about the people they delivered to America’s slave markets.
Jamelle Wilson, who is a member of the Burying Ground Memorialization Committee, saw the disparities in the historical record illustrated during her time as superintendent at Hanover Schools, her position before coming to UR. One day she visited a high school classroom in which the teacher had received a grant from Ancestry.com. Wilson watched as students excitedly worked to uncover their family histories. “And it struck me when I got back to my car,” she said, “that the students I talked with who were white had deep access to their families’ histories. They were able to go back generation to generation to generation. The Black students I talked with, they could only go back to a certain point. So there was this inequity.”
Wilson, dean of UR’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies, said that Nichols is playing an important role helping descendants understand their connection to the burying ground.
“Mrs. Nichols has been instrumental in helping folks understand how their families show up in the list of names,” she said. “It’s been really interesting to hear that conversation. People will raise a hand and say, ‘Wait, I don’t see my family’s name,’ and she is able to say, ‘You are here,’” as she traces a lineage.
The committee’s conversations with descendants included an invitation to visit the burying ground. For most of the families contacted, the existence of the burying ground was news, so Nichols suggested that the visits should offer not only information but guidance as families processed the sometimes painful details they were learning about their family histories. She knew she didn’t want to call the visits a “trip” or a “tour.”
“There was an old word that stood out in my mind, and that was to do a pilgrimage,” Nichols said. “A pilgrimage is a journey of an unknown length. You’re going somewhere.
You’re seeking something. You’re trying to find answers.”
The Burleighs were among 78 members of the descendant community who took her and the committee up on it. They included Sam, Anne, Sam’s older sister Karen, his cousin Cheryl, and his 98-year-old father, who is also named Sam and was one of the most senior participants that day. The committee hosted them on campus to share historical information, trace genealogical connections, and seek input about permanent memorialization of the burying ground.
“I’d love to tell you I know exactly what was going through my mind,” Sam, R’76, said. “It was more of a reaction to the knowledge that they had been there. They had worked that land, and 100 years later or whatever it was, I had gone to the university. This visit was a special one because it was about ancestral history, and it allowed us to think more long range, farther back than just 1970.”
This profound sense of belonging and deep human connection is something Wilson has been seeing in the conversations she has been part of. “I am constantly reminded of the intersections and alignments between the scholarship, the research, and the people,” she said. “This could be viewed as an academic exercise — I know it is not, but it could be viewed that way — but we have taken care to make the research live, to make the history live, by naming individuals and trying to understand what their experience was here on this property, really trying to humanize them. Mrs. Nichols talked about the ground being sacred ground. The sacred nature of that is, for me, completely rooted in the fact that these are human beings. I believe the families appreciate the work that is happening. We all want to be recognized and seen and not forgotten.”
Developing plans for the site’s permanent memorialization is one of the major tasks of the Burying Ground Memorialization Committee. The conversation has been a long time coming. Research by Driskill indicates that university leaders in 1912 knew about the burying ground and went ahead anyway with plans to plow a road, today’s Richmond Way, through it. Road-widening work in 1947 and expansion of a steam tunnel in 1955-56 turned up further evidence that prompted similar indifference. In 2020, UR’s president and board of trustees wrote to the campus community that they “are deeply saddened by these discoveries. We profoundly regret the acts of desecration and the silences in our historical narrative.” They also committed to an enduring memorial, a pledge UR’s new president, Kevin Hallock, reiterated in a message to the campus community in September 2021.
That Jim Crow-era history was unsurprising to Nichols — “I’m a child of segregation,” she said. “I know firsthand all about sitting on the back of the bus” — but she says the university is doing the right thing today and looks forward to the dedication of a memorial on the site. The precise nature of that memorial is a matter of active discussion.
The university hired an architectural firm to study examples elsewhere, develop design ideas, and seek input from a broad set of stakeholders, including members of the descendant community. During the fall semester, it hosted six sessions to explore design concepts and gather feedback. In December, the committee provided recommendations to Hallock.
A memorial, when it comes, will be another change in a long line of developments Sam and Anne Burleigh have witnessed together since the day they first spotted each other in music theory class 50 years ago. Anne, for her part, marvels at the historical trajectory of the land where she grew up and met Sam. Nineteenth-century plantations that thrived because of human bondage developed into the 20th-century segregated neighborhood where she grew up and the recently desegregated university where she enrolled. There, she met her lifelong love and went boldly with him into the 21st century.
“It’s very moving,” she said. “I’m tearing up now, but the odds of that evolution — here you have enslaved people whose descendants are then going to school on that same property. What amazes me is that I grew up in a red-lined
neighborhood on Westham Parkway. I went to Tuckahoe Elementary School, but that was that same land. That just astounds me. And that we should happen to meet on that place just amazes me. Both of us are so grateful that this effort was made to find this out. Can you imagine what his ancestors would think?”
Sam, of course, picked up the thought. “We’ve come a long way. Not that there’s not a long way to go, but a lot has been done in 150 years.”
In the long line of Burleighs, Sam the 1976 UR graduate is Samuel L. Burleigh IV. His older son is Sam V, and grandson Samuel Lafayette Burleigh VI joined the family in September 2021. In addition to no doubt being a darling little boy, he is a reminder that while memorialization honors the past, it also professes the values of the present and a vision for the future. This understanding is front and center for Wilson as she serves on the Burying Ground Memorialization Committee, interacts with families, and considers the burying ground’s significance for the University of Richmond.
“We have started to unpack and remove the layers, and I’m encouraged and pleased that we are doing that,” Wilson said. “We should not take for granted anything that has happened before us. We should take advantage of any point at which we can become more aware and make personal connections. That serves us well as a community because it gives us a foundation on which to continue to build and nurture the community we want to be.”

➤ THEIR FIRST REUNION?
The Collegian’s reporting made it clear that the biggest draw was, unsurprisingly, the chance to finally be back together with classmates after the abrupt interruption of the spring 2020 semester. As Torey-Bates Samuel, ’20, put it to a reporter: “Not just seeing my friends, but being able to say goodbye to them.”
Fellow graduates
The Class of 2020 finally got its due with an untraditional September celebration. COVID-19 safety measures prevented traditional commencement exercises in May 2020. More than 400 members of the class made it back to campus for the celebration. Although their diplomas were already in hand, they finally got the chance to cross the stage in full regalia as their names were called
and family and friends cheered. The event also included remarks from Tim Hightower, ’08, a Spider football standout and former NFL player, and classmate Lina Tori Jan, ’20. “I had mentally prepared myself for the possibility that we would never have a graduation,” Natalie Szumel, ’20, told The Collegian. “But I am very happy that they did end up doing something for us.”
STAY CONNECTED
Reunion 2022
After two years of virtual reunions, campus is looking forward to welcoming back classes for an in-person Reunion Weekend in early June. Members of classes ending in 2 and 7, it’s not too early for you to start saving the dates: June 3–5.
Registration details will be coming this spring through snail mail and email. If you think your contact information might not be up to date, drop us a records update at magazine@richmond.edu.
Do you want to contribute to the planning? Your class’s reunion committee would love your help. Email reunion@richmond.edu for more information about volunteering.
Hire a Spider
Just before this issue mailed, the Spring Spider Career Expo took place Feb. 3. It was an opportunity for alumni to recruit students for jobs and internships. For information about future career expos, email hirespiders@richmond.edu.
Go Spiders, nally
After the past two years, getting together with fellow Spiders could make your redand-blue spirit happy. Virtual programs are still available, and for information about connecting with Spiders in person to watch a game, socialize, or learn something new, go to bit.ly/spiderregional.
There were plenty of smiles beneath the masks as the Class of 2020 got its chance to celebrate.

IN MEMORY Alumni, teammates, and family paused at halftime of the Oct. 17 Spider soccer game to remember former player Ashleigh Blumer Kohlitz, ’09. Kohlitz died in May after a long battle with cancer that inspired the hashtag #kickash among her support network.
“Grateful to be there today,” tweeted Brooke Sands Roney, ’01, who was an assistant coach during Kohlitz’s playing career. “An honor to coach her, know her, & love her.”
Their gift to you
Brad Bongiovanni and Jon Chandonnet, two friends from the Class of 1992, want you to be well.
Like, really, really well. They want you to be in such a great place that they’re still trying to figure out the right words to describe just how well they mean. Lately, they’ve been thinking about their vision as not just “well-being” but “whole-being,” as in “not that everything’s perfect, just that you have what you need to feel whole,” as Bongiovanni puts it. He adds that it’s not “a one-size-fits-all proposition.”
They are inviting Spiders to join them in exploring these questions through a conversation series they host in partnership with alumni relations. “Spotlight on Wellbeing” is a virtual monthly discussion between themselves and a guest that combines professional expertise with
personal experience. Recent guests include Jay Carpenter, R’92, author Kelly Corrigan, W’89, and Jen Fisher, chief well-being officer at Deloitte.
For Bongiovanni, this pursuit has been integral to his profession as a doctor of naturopathic medicine, a specialty that focuses on the whole person and emphasizes deep well-being.
For Chandonnet, its roots are deeply personal, the result of a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis at age 27. Since then, he’s become a father and an author sharing his story of becoming more conscious about his life and his health — trying to minimize disease impacts while powering his well-being through new approaches to diet, exercise, and spirituality.

OF NOTE
A soft reminder
Glenice Coombs, legal publications coordinator for Richmond Law Review, has been friends with Bill Reynolds, R’56, and his wife Lee for basically forever. Years ago, Bill encouraged a young Peter Coombs, R’69, to apply to Richmond. Sending Pete to Richmond gave him the chance to meet and fall head over heels for Glenice. The two were married from 1969 until Pete’s death in 2013.
Glenice has stayed in touch with the Reynoldses over the years, so it was only natural that she brought a couple of Spider football ball caps when she went to visit them in New Jersey this fall. Bill, you see, “is almost in love with U of R as much as he is with his wife,” Glenice says.
When it came time for a photo, the hats weren’t enough for Bill and Lee. They had to get their Spider pillow, too. It's not just any pillow. Glenice made it for Bill using one of Pete’s UR T-shirts not long after he died. Spiders’ ties are like that. They run deep and surface in all kinds of wonderful ways.

His power move
Despite an offer from a big-name corporation, Ting Li, ’15, (right) stuck with his company and was on hand to see it ring the NASDAQ bell.
Five years ago, Ting Li, ’15, had just moved to California with the woman who is now his wife. She was enrolling in graduate school; he had recently nished at Columbia University.
As Li searched online for a job, he stumbled on the website for Xos Trucks. One line called out the company’s non-Palo Alto address, which intrigued Li, who “doesn’t like the concept of Silicon Valley.” Xos designs and builds electric eet trucks — including engineering proprietary battery systems and driver software — for last-mile delivery. Their customers include Loomis and UPS.
Li didn’t see an option to apply for an open position, so he sent the CEO a message on LinkedIn, offering to work for free. Soon after, he was hired.
“I didn’t know I would be working on batteries until the rst day I walked in,” Li says.
ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT
Emma Goldman, associate professor of chemistry and a mentor to Li, is an expert in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. The latter involves understanding how metals catalyze reactions. She was one of two recipients of the Outstanding Mentor Award from the School of Arts and Sciences in 2020.
Li stepped into a true startup environment with limited resources and high stress. He was one of eight employees, and the position was his rst technical engineering job. Over time, the company grew and now employs nearly 300 people.
After ve years with Xos, Li felt the time had come to explore other options. He was offered a job at SpaceX, working on batteries to power the satellites used for their broadband internet system. But right after Li informed Dakota Semler, his boss and the CEO of Xos, Semler took the rst ight he could to meet Li and convince him to stay.
Li met him at the airport and drove him to the Xos of ce. As they sat in Los Angeles traf c, Li shared his thoughts about the company’s future, and Semler offered him a position running a new team. Li stayed, and he and his team are tasked with developing a battery cell to support the company’s battery pack manufacturing, bringing more materials in-house and circumventing supply chain challenges.
Semler also invited Li to attend the NASDAQ bell-ringing in conjunction with the company’s upcoming IPO.
As Li watched Semler speaking to the crowd just before Xos went public, it hit him just how far they had come. Li had
joined the company at 23; Semler was just a year older.
“I saw the founders, the executives, grow alongside me,” he says. “I felt so proud of him in that moment.”
It also led Li to re ect on his time at Richmond, how he arrived on campus directly from China and experienced a cultural shift. He landed a spot in associate professor Emma Goldman’s chemistry lab,
where he found a supportive mentor. He says the experience “saved” him as he sometimes struggled to adapt to life in a new country.
“The lab is like a meditation spot,” he says. “When you’re in the lab, you don’t think about anything else. You don’t care about what’s going on on the outside.”

The love you give
Haleigh Bass, ’17, and Joe McCahon, ’17, found love on Richmond’s campus. When they came back to be married in Cannon Memorial Chapel, they made sure they left some love behind.
Not long after the couple walked down the aisle as newlyweds, volunteers from an organization called the Simple Sunflower picked up and then picked apart their flower arrangements. Then they reassembled them into bouquets for patients in hospitals throughout the region.
“Getting married on campus was truly a dream come true,” Haleigh said. “We were so grateful that the magic of our day and the beauty of our flowers could be shared with patients
to help brighten their hospital stays.”
The McCahons are both pursuing careers in health care. Haleigh is a fourth-year medical student at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and Joe is an orthopedic surgery resident at Jefferson Health New Jersey.
“Because we both work in hospitals every day, we have seen firsthand how simple acts of kindness can go such a long way for patients in the hospital,” she said. “Richmond will always hold a special place in our hearts. Joe and I fell in love there, and we are grateful to share our wedding day flowers with patients in a community that is so close to us.”
LOVE BLOOMS
Through donations such as the McCahons’, more than 1,000 bouquets have been delivered in the Richmond area through the Simple Sunflower. The name of the organization’s founder couldn’t be more appropriate: Eleanor Love.
EAGLE IN THE SNOW

MARK BUSS, B’79
Growth leader
Like so many others, Mark Buss, B’79, was laid off in March 2020. He was the general manager for Virginia Marble Manufacturers, but the company took a downturn during the pandemic.
By July, Buss was back at work as the managing director for Equip Fulfillment, another company dramatically affected by the pandemic. But this time, the change resulted from a surge in demand. Equip Fulfillment provides supplies for last-mile logistics, meaning everything a delivery service needs to bring a product from the warehouse to your front door. This could include hand trucks, moving blankets, uniforms, or PPE.
“Anyone who watches the news understands that the need for logistics is paramount right now,” Buss says.
Managing a company through a growth period is nothing new to Buss. For the last 20 years, he has worked with international companies as they enter new markets, whether a global company launching products in the U.S. or a startup bringing a product to a broader audience. He specialized in the housewares sector, working with companies like Hamilton Beach and SharkNinja.
Buss worked with companies to determine the size of the market and understand consumer preferences, all in an effort to make products as successful as possible when they hit the shelves.
In recent years, Buss’ work has brought him back to Richmond. He wanted to lend his experience serving on nonprofit and corporate boards to his home state and applied for a gubernatorial appointment. In April 2021, he was selected for a position on the Virginia Museum of Natural History’s board of trustees.
“From the coastal plains to the fall lines to the mountains,” he says, “it’s exciting to celebrate the diversity of flora, fauna, geography, and topography.”

‘It’s a miracle I survived’
A
World War II navigator recalls the bomber crash that nearly killed him.
James Boehling, R’48, remembers April 21, 1945, as if it were yesterday. It was his first mission as a navigator in the Army Air Corps, the Air Force’s predecessor, in World War II.
“We had to cross a cold front, and my pilot got vertigo,” he said. “I felt the plane stall out, and we went into a spiral.”
As the B-17 bomber spun out of control, he looked at the man sitting next to him.
“I pointed at the altimeter, which was unwrapping rapidly, and I pointed to my parachute, and I pointed down. And he just stared back at me, unresponsive,” he said. “We were spinning down. We were spiraling. I grabbed my parachute, and I decided I would jump out.”
eight of the others on the plane were killed. I was the only survivor.”
When he made it back to Earth, he saw military vehicles heading back to the site of the crash. As he ran toward them, he saw an American Jeep, signaled it, and jumped in. The next day, he went to Paris and the following day back to his base in England.
Boehling’s parents, along with his 12 brothers and sisters, eagerly awaited in their home on Hanover Avenue in Richmond to hear whether he’d survived. He wrote to his parents immediately to tell them what happened.

He opened the door and jumped, headfirst, at 28,000 feet. He held his parachute so tightly that it opened almost immediately as he fell through the air over Germany.
“I saw the plane crash,” he said. “All
“My father was so nervous he couldn’t bring himself to answer the phone, so my brother Dick answered it,” Boehling said. “He was only 12 or 13. It was another family we knew saying their son had been killed in action and wanted to know about me. Later, they finally got my letter with the date April 25, so they knew I had survived.”
Boehling, now 96, still lives in that same home. He and his brother Dick are the only living siblings. Stepping into his living room is like stepping back in time. He points to the spot on the wall where the phone that Dick answered that day used to hang. The piano his sisters played still sits across the room.
“I’ve lived here 95 and a half years,” he said. “I look around, and I have so many memories. In the five bedrooms upstairs, my seven sisters lived in two of them, my four brothers and I lived in two others, and my parents lived in the main bedroom.”
After he returned home from the war, he attended the University of Richmond and graduated with a degree in accounting. He lived at home and hitchhiked on Grove Avenue every day to get to class.
This fall, he shared a message with the Spider community in honor of Veterans Day: “Keep up the good work and try to maintain the peace. I’m real proud of my service. I think about that plane every day. It doesn’t worry me. It’s a miracle I survived, and I thank God for that.”

TRAVIS WILLIAMS, ’91 AND L’94
A hometown judge
Throughout his career, the Hon. Travis Williams, ’91 and L’94, has stayed focused on his hometown community of Chesterfield, Virginia. After finishing law school, he served as a judicial clerk for Chesterfield Circuit Court. Then, he spent two years in solo practice before becoming a partner at Daniels and Morgan — now Daniels Williams Tuck and Ritter — in Chester.
For the last 18 years, he also served as a substitute district court judge and enjoyed the opportunity to take a different perspective on the law. In fact, Williams had long set his sights on a permanent judgeship.
Last summer, he got that chance when he was appointed to the Chesterfield Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. He hears a variety of cases dealing with children and families, including custody and visitation agreements, abuse and neglect cases, and criminal cases involving children or family connections.
Williams is particularly suited for the position. He frequently argued cases in the juvenile court, both as a defense attorney and representing parents in custody cases. He was also a founding member of the Chesterfield/Colonial Heights Juvenile Drug Court.
“It’s something I was very passionate about,” he said. “There’s such a need for it in the criminal justice system. It was probably one of the highlights of my career, working with youth and their families to help them stop the sometimes multigenerational pattern of addiction.”
His appointment is a historic move for Chesterfield. Williams is the first Black juvenile court judge.
“It’s important to me for the public to see diversity behind the bench,” he said. “It makes them think the whole process is much more fair.”

AMY KRISTOF-BROWN, W’92
A Big 10 b-school leader
Former psychology major Amy Kristof-Brown, ’92, always thought she would be a hospital administrator. Her world changed when her senior thesis was handed off to a business professor for oversight.
“I was applying for graduate schools in psychology when he suggested I apply to business schools as well,” she said. “My honors thesis was on impression management, which fit perfectly in a business context.”
She got her doctorate in organizational behavior from the University of Maryland, became an assistant professor of management at the University of Iowa’s Tippie School of Business in 1997, and never left. She became Tippie’s dean in 2020, first in an interim role and then fully in the position.
“I’ve been very, very happy here,” she said. “I always thought that I would move back to the East Coast, but I never found a job that I liked as much as I liked it here.”
As an expert in person-environment fit, she consulted another expert on the decision to stay: Mickey Quiñones, dean of UR’s Robins School of Business.
“I had just been at a conference with Mickey prior to COVID, so I had just talked to him two weeks before I took the job,” she said. “He was very, very helpful. It was nice to see a friendly face and talk to him about what was coming.”
She thinks back on her time at Richmond every day, particularly her psychology mentor Diane Preston. Kristof-Brown uses what she learned from Preston in her role as dean and is grateful to have her undergraduate degree in psychology.
“I study how people find environments where they can thrive,” Kristof-Brown said. “Just because you can do it doesn’t mean that you have to. You can do stuff that you love, but if your job isn’t something that you enjoy, then find something else.”

RAEGAN WILLIAMS MORRIS, ’99
‘Unlock the goodness’
Raegan Williams Morris, ’99, brought a simple message with her when she came to speak in the fall of 2021 at the Jepson School of Leadership Studies: Open, honest conversations are key to developing a healthy company culture and good leadership.
Morris is vice president of card channels at Capital One Financial Group, a Fortune 500 company in Richmond, and she leads a diverse global team of more than 5,000 customer service associates in the company’s credit card division. She also serves on the Jepson School’s executive board of advisors. Authentic conversations have never been more important to her company’s success than during the past two years, she said — a period during which employees and customers have grappled with a global pandemic and heightened racial tensions.
“By improving our employees’ experience, we improve our customers’ experience,” she said. “Our customers are having tough conversations about politics, the pandemic, and racial equity with our associates every day.”
Such topics have often been taboo in some workplaces, but Morris encourages discussion and launched an initiative on open conversations to prompt it.
“The goal is to teach our leaders how to have complex, thoughtful dialogues with employees on difficult issues like race and gender equity,” she said. “It’s about how you unlock the goodness that comes out of these tense conversations so employees feel seen, heard, and valued.”
She took a similar approach in addressing the struggles of remote work after the onset of the pandemic, using herself as an example.
“I shared a story of my son asking me to make toast while I was on a call talking to thousands of people,” she said. “The dog barks, the doorbell rings. It’s OK. Just turn your computer camera off. We have to normalize our reality.”

Soccer ’96
They called themselves the Dogg Pound. It was the mid-’90s, after all, and Snoop Dogg was on the charts. Kendra Powell, ’00, came up with the nickname, according to The Collegian. It doubled down on the team’s aggressive play, the sense that if you just go for it, good things happen.
In 1996, good things were happening for women’s soccer at Richmond. That year — the same in which Mia Hamm and Team USA won Olympic women’s soccer’s first-ever gold in Atlanta — 21 Spiders took the field to launch UR’s varsity program.
Fourteen of those players were freshmen. One of them, Maya Clark, ’00 and L’03, scored the program’s first-ever goal. Another, Kirsi Cronk Mendoza, ’00, scored the next two. Those three goals came in the program’s first game, versus Liberty, which was also its first win and first shutout.
At the team’s home debut against Lehigh two days later, more than 1,000 fans turned out at UR’s soccer complex, which sat where Robins Stadium is today. Stu-
Under the leadership of founding coach Peter Albright, the Spiders finished their program’s inaugural 1996 season at 7-9-2, a remarkable accomplishment for a new program. In November, past and current players and coaches gathered to celebrate the program’s 25th anniversary.
dent-athletes from various sports created a tunnel for the team to run through, and the men’s soccer captain offered flowers.
Up to this debut, the only intercollegiate women’s soccer on Richmond’s campus was being played at the club level. Those teams had been on a roll, dominating opponents for several years, Ruth Goehring, then an associate athletic director, told The Collegian in September 1996.
Their success coincided with increased efforts nationally to comply with Title IX, which requires universities to provide equal opportunities for men and women in sports.
Strengthening the gender equality of sport programs was part of Richmond’s strategic plan of the time, and UR was the only member of the Colonial Athletic Association that wasn’t fielding a women’s soccer team. The sport was an obvious addition.
For high school players weighing their college options, Richmond’s 1996 team was a unique proposition to consider.
“I thought it was an amazing opportu-
nity to start this whole program and, too, knowing that there would be so many of us coming in at the same time,” Mendoza said in a recent interview.
For recruits, it meant immediate playing time, and they took advantage of it. Mendoza, the team’s lead scorer during the inaugural season, was an all-conference player for four years and still holds the program record for career assists. She, Clark, and their teammates are still all over the program’s record books.
Chris Brucia, ’99, saw it coming. An assistant sports editor for The Collegian, he covered the 1996 team and ended his season wrap-up story by noting that 1996’s freshmen would be 1997’s sophomores.
“You can probably do the math yourself in order to figure out just how dangerous this team will be three seasons from now when the majority of the team will be seniors,” he wrote. “And by then, not many coaches will want to play this team.”
He was spot on. The 1999 team played in the conference championship final. The next season — the first after everyone on the inaugural team had graduated — the team they built made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament.
LEADERSHIP
Two sophomores, three juniors, and two seniors rounded out the freshman-heavy roster of Richmond’s inaugural team. Kristin Hanson Lee, ’98, and Kristina Nesensohn Prokop, ’98, gave leadership as co-captains — a rare opportunity for two players who were also in their first varsity seasons.

ANGELO VILLAGOMEZ, ’00
Oceans advocate
Angelo Villagomez, ’00, used to feel like a fish out of water. The biologist and environmental policy expert was so shy at Richmond that he avoided doing presentations, even for 10 people.
His undergrad experiences helped him gain the confidence to become an advocate for global marine conservation and social equity. Today he is known as the godfather of the Mariana Trench — the deepest place on Earth — for his work to preserve the iconic location. He is also a senior officer of marine protection at the Pew Charitable Trusts.
“I always knew the only thing I could be was a scientist,” he said.
Villagomez grew up partly in Saipan, a Pacific island with a population around 50,000 in the Northern Mariana Islands. After college, he returned there, and his efforts with a local marine coalition caught the attention of Pew, which was advocating for the creation of the first generation of great marine parks. The Marianas topped its list.
“The most intriguing thing about the Mariana Trench is not what we know — it’s what we don’t know,” he said. “We’re talking about a place that is less explored than the surface of Mars.”
Villagomez’s advocacy through Pew succeeded. In 2009, President George W. Bush designated the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument.
Villagomez remains undaunted. He and Ana Spalding, ’99, a marine and coastal policy professor at Oregon State, contributed to a guide published by Science that establishes a shared vocabulary for scientists. He also helped set up the Blue Nature Alliance, a partnership working to conserve at least 30% of the ocean by 2030.
Villagomez is part of a sea change happening in environmental conservation. Calls for equity and inclusion are growing, including the need to better understand perspectives in local communities.
“This idea that we have to include people is becoming more important in the work that I do,” he said.

JENNY CRANE MCHUGH, ’05
An entrepreneurial turn
Jenny Crane McHugh, ’05, knows jewelry. She should. She has loved it since she was a child.
“My parents have this funny story that when I was a toddler, I wore piles of plastic jewelry,” she says. “Every night, it would be like World War III to get me to take it off. And I wouldn’t get out of bed in the morning until I put it all back on.”
After graduating from UR with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, McHugh worked in the corporate world and earned an MBA from the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. In 2019, McHugh decided to pursue her dream and launch her own fine jewelry line.
As the founder and designer behind Campbell + Charlotte Jewelry — named for her daughter and the city in North Carolina in which she and her family live — McHugh now shares her penchant for “sparkly things” with others.
True to her tagline “serious jewels for those who don’t take themselves too seriously,” her handcrafted designs are unpretentious, often whimsical, and full of color. The Juju collection, for example, features rainbows, hearts, stars, and even a dinosaur. McHugh also works with clients on custom pieces she calls memento rings, helping them “weave a new story” from old, often heirloom, pieces.
While McHugh’s designs are viewable online and on Instagram (@campbellandcharlotte), she is working to expand her retailers in the coming year. She’s also preparing to launch a new collection. Through it all, she continues to find inspiration in the emotions and phases of what she calls the “motherhood moment.”
“I’m 100% inspired by making Campbell proud,” she says. “When she’s older and can understand, I want her to be like, ‘That’s cool.’ Not necessarily what I do, but that I built this company myself.”

CRISIS RESPONSE Carly Green, ’19, helps aid and development assistance providers worldwide evaluate whether their efforts are working. When Afghanistan fell, her work quickly shifted.
When she was a junior at Richmond, Carly Green, ’19, left for a semester in Sweden to learn about its educational system. She returned with a deep concern for the challenges facing Syrian refugees.
Green’s experience reoriented her academics and her professional trajectory.
Today she works at Management Systems International, a Tetra Tech company that provides services for USAID, the World Bank, and other clients in approximately 90 countries. Green and her colleagues work on a variety of issues including monitoring and evaluation, governance, rule of law, education, and gender inclusion.
Green arrived in Sweden as an undergraduate at a time the country had accepted more refugees per capita than any other country in the world. The children of ordinary Syrians who fled their country’s war were receiving services in places that Green visited and studied during her time at Uppsala University.
“That really colored my experience
abroad,” she said. “I had a class where I had the opportunity to volunteer at a refugee clinic, and that linked up with work I had been doing in Richmond with a small nonprofit, Voices for Virginia’s Children.”
She returned to UR and became the only junior enrolled in International Studies 101. Over the next two years, she worked closely with Sandra Joireman, Weinstein Chair of International Studies, and did her senior thesis on trauma-informed care. The day after she graduated, she started with MSI. Today, her portfolio is the Middle East.
“The monitoring and eval on my projects focuses a lot of humanitarian assistance, making sure food’s actually going out at camps, infrastructure is being built, that individuals who’ve experienced gender-based violence are getting the mental and physical health care they need,” she said. “We also work in countries that are more stable, like Jordan, where we do higher-level services, consulting on projects that improve the country’s civil society, election processes, and tourism, for instance.”
In the late summer and fall of 2021, she experienced the most stressful times of her still-young career when the Taliban quickly swept to power in Afghanistan. As employees of a Western-based organization,
MSI’s current and former Afghan staff were at immediate risk but faced unclear options during the West’s chaotic withdrawal.
Back in the U.S., MSI’s staff mobilized to provide emergency support, asking for volunteers to assist with getting as many people out as they could. Green, a program manager with expertise in logistics, had the necessary skills. And it felt personal. Her first boss at MSI was an Afghan national, and she sat next to the Afghan team in pre-pandemic times.
“It was very tough,” she said of the work, which continued into the fall long after the headlines in the West moved on. “There was a lot of chaos in the first few days. We were working 12-hour shifts on and off.”
With the team’s help, some staff successfully boarded evacuation flights, and others emigrated via extralegal routes. While a handful have made it to the U.S., many more are applying for visas from wherever in the world they suddenly found themselves. Some are still in Afghanistan.
The stress was overwhelming, but the job is mostly not like this, she emphasizes. “Ninety percent of the time, the work is unquestionably good. There can’t be anything wrong with building schools and helping people who need shelter.”
A SELF-CARE REMINDER
The high stakes of the Afghanistan withdrawal brought long shifts and sleepless nights that began to make Green less effective. A mentor helped with an important reminder: “If you’re on an airplane that’s crashing, you put on your oxygen mask before you help someone else with theirs.” It felt selfish to briefly step away, she said, but it proved helpful for her team’s work.
“Getting a night of good sleep really made things work better and was much more sustainable,” she said.

GABRIELA TELEPMAN, ’20
Expanding services for Spanish speakers
When her Fulbright grant was postponed because of COVID-19, Gabriela Telepman, ’20, knew she didn’t want to wait to make a difference.
She found a job as community relations coordinator with Latinos in Virginia Empowerment Center and spent the year connecting with nonprofits across the state to create an advocacy network for Latino families to help with everything from financial aid to escaping an abuser. This work included setting up a 24/7 bilingual hotline for Spanish-speaking survivors of domestic violence.
“No matter what your language is, everyone deserves the equal right to receive help,” she said. “You’re already traumatized by the violence you experienced, then you re-trigger it in recounting it, and it’s that much harder for someone who doesn’t speak English, or doesn’t speak it well, to do.”
Telepman grew up in Miami, speaking both English and Spanish in her home. When she joined Latinos in Virginia, it was a familiar, bilingual, environment. She worked with primarily English-speaking nonprofits across the state to connect them with resources that would build their capacity to advocate for the needs of Spanish-speaking clients.
“We wanted to make a connection with this community in their language,” she said. “It was definitely a lot to process, but it felt really great to know that I was a part of this.”
Telepman studied international business at Richmond and won the Fulbright Garcia-Robles Binational Internship. She is currently completing the internship in marketing in Mexico City and taking international business courses at the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México. She is the first UR student to receive this particular grant.

The steals G.O.A.T. (Greatest. Of. All. Time.)
Jacob Gilyard set the new NCAA Divison I career steals record in December and, as we went to press, was still adding to it. We won’t know until the end of the season how high his total will climb, but he’s already Division I’s only 400-steal man. What has it meant for his team? Before the season started, we crunched the data about his steals to date and turned up these gems to describe his unmatched talent.
Average: 3.06/game
Don’t blink. He once stole the ball three times in 28 seconds.
HE’S MR. RELIABLE. He had one or more steals in 113 of his rst 117 games played.
O cer, they’d like to report a crime. His most frequent victims:
HE’S A PEST. Every time an opponent brings the ball up the court, there’s a better than 5% chance it ends up in Gilyard’s beautiful, thieving hands. 24 21 20
His steals change games. Four out of every 10 Gilyard steals led to Spider points within 7 seconds. These points tied the game or put the Spiders ahead 20% of the time
HE’S MOST DANGEROUS WHEN THE SPIDERS ARE WINNING.
HE’S NEVER NOT DANGEROUS. He has stolen in every possible game minute from tipoff to 00.0, and his steals are distributed fairly evenly across them. His highest steal minute: 14-something to go in the second half.
This Spider is teaching rats to drive.
Kelly Lambert School of Arts & Sciences Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience
THIS RESEARCH CAN SHAPE THE FIELD OF BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE as we know it. By assessing the e ects of training on the rats’ brains, Kelly Lambert is deepening our understanding of environment and upbringing on human cognitive development. This paves the way for more e ective treatment of mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. Life may be a rat race, but Richmond Spiders improve how we interact with it.
