#SPIDERPRIDE
From the Robins Center to Buffalo, New York, and across the nation, Spiders were all-in for the men’s run in the tournament. When the final buzzer sounded in the game that knocked them out, supporters in Buffalo gave the team a standing ovation, and pride swelled on campus and wherever Spiders were watching. After two seasons disrupted by COVID-19, one fan posting on a message board summed up the way many felt: “I’m proud of this team for their fight and never giving up.”

EDITOR’S NOTE
Show your stuff
It’s good to admit when you were wrong. Sometimes, it feels downright great. So let me get something off my chest.
Fellow Spiders, I didn’t see the men’s basketball team’s run to the NCAA tournament coming. My instincts should have been better, but it took me by complete surprise.
What an incredible ride they took us on. First came four wins in four days in D.C. to claim the Atlantic 10’s automatic bid. Then, we pulled off a first-round win over Iowa that — no exaggeration — busted brackets nationwide. NCAA’s March Madness site reported that the Spiders were picked to win in fewer than 10% of brackets nationally. While that’s not exactly St. Peter’s-over-Kentucky territory, our chances were thought to be the worst of any 12 seed playing a 5 seed. But we won anyway. If there’s one thing Spiders do well, it’s exceed expectations.
Look at the numbers. We’re the most dangerous 12 seed in NCAA history, and it’s not even close. We’ve now gone 4-0 in our 12-5 matchups, and we’ve picked up nine total NCAA tournament wins as a 12 or higher seed — more than twice as many as any other school. The 12 seed has served us well. It’s a ticket to the dance that gives us an opportunity to show what we’ve got.
I see that same kind of let-me-show-you-what-we’ve-got moxie across campus. Take the Richmond Guarantee, which supports students in summer research and internship opportunities. It puts students in a position to punch their tickets to new opportunities. Because of this funding, they can say yes to cities they couldn’t otherwise afford, yes to beneficial experiences that pay little or nothing, and no to mundane summer jobs they might otherwise have to take.
In other words, they get a chance to show up in the places that matter and then prove themselves. As you’ll read elsewhere in this issue, the guarantee’s maximum award just increased from $4,000 to $5,000 because of years of generous philanthropy and strong endowment returns. The Robins Center is just one of the many places and ways we root each other on. We saw the same spirit of coming together and supporting each other at Kevin Hallock’s inauguration as president. (Read about that on Page 18.)
So, mea culpa. And go, Spiders.

RIDE ON
Hi, UR magazine. For my taste, “Bicycle Diaries” in the current issue [Winter 2022] is the best article I’ve read in your always excellent publication. Keep up the great work.
—Dan Bartges, G’72 Ashland, Virginia
DON’T LEAVE ME HANGING LIKE THAT
I would like to start by saying I enjoy the University of Richmond Magazine. It is so much more interesting than the alumni magazines sent many years ago. You guys do a great job!
I want to bring to your attention an article, “Flora and Fauna” [Winter 2022], which I felt did not address an issue that was stated in the first paragraph. Peter Smallwood wondered whether there were any cicada killer wasp nests on campus, so he consulted with Larry Richmond. I am still wondering along with him. That’s the first and last time it is mentioned. I was looking forward to what Larry had to say.
I am interested in the answer because we live in North Carolina and had a problem at our home last fall with a diagnosis of killer wasps, only to have that overturned when I
did some in-depth research. Since we had a live one in a bottle, I was able to note a small difference and show to the exterminator that it was a European hornet. As far as we knew at that time, the killer wasps were still basically on the West Coast.
The article was good, but it needed to address the issue stated in the first paragraph.
Blessings for a wonderful spring and summer!
—Kris Sponsler Peurifoy, W’65 Concord, North Carolina
[Editor’s note: We followed up with Smallwood, and here’s what he told us: “The cicada killer wasps we have here are sometimes called Eastern Cicada Hawks, as they’re an Eastern and Midwestern native species, Sphecius speciosus. Although they’re large enough to be intimidating, they seem to take no interest in people. I’ve been able to get pretty close to watch the females dig their burrows and drag cicadas into them.”]
‘I AM HUMBLED’
I enjoyed reading the article about the women’s soccer team’s inaugural season [“Soccer ’96,” Winter 2022] and wanted to say thank you for mentioning the club teams that paved the way. The women that played on those club teams worked hard and played harder, and I am humbled to have had the chance to coach some of them.
— Mike Corcoran, R’91 Greensboro, North Carolina
[Editor’s note: Corcoran was the club team’s assistant coach in ’89–’90 and head coach in ’90–’91. In its October 26, 1989, issue, The Collegian quoted him saying, “If you’re not out here having fun, you’re not going to play well,” as he talked about a very fun win over William and Mary’s club team.]

Maximizing our potential
Together, we can become — unquestionably — the best small university in the world.
Inauguration weekend was a memorable one for our community. Our beautiful UR campus was abuzz with activity. We had great panel discussions, one with students and their faculty advisers and one with college presidents. There was music, food, student performances, and fireworks. And I didn’t even stumble (much) during my speech. Out of all this, what was the best part of the weekend?
For me, it was not my investiture as president — although that is certainly the high point in my career, and I’ll always feel profoundly honored and grateful for the opportunity to serve. The best part, though, was feeling the energy of the UR community coming together to celebrate all that’s great about our university and all the ways we know we can be — will be — even greater in the future.
I’m an economist, and that background is directly relevant to university staffing, budgets, and more. But as I’ve met with our staff and faculty in various departments during the past year, I’ve been quick to assure them that economists focus on a lot more than money and maximizing profits. Economists concentrate on maximizing all sorts of things — including good things for our society — with a realistic eye on all the constraints. This can be a useful way to think about university leadership. I have big aspirations for Richmond. I’ve talked about our university, which is already so strong, becoming unquestionably the best small university in the world. That’s not hyperbole but something I believe we can do, and I’m here to work on it as hard as I can. That’s maximizing, or optimizing. But I also know that we must be constantly aware of the constraints we face. We aren’t going to make all those challenges disappear, no matter how hard we try. But what we can do is make the most of our
opportunities. And right now our community is poised to pull together to do just that. I see five major areas of opportunity for Richmond — “guiding lights,” I call them, because while we must invest in many areas, if we keep these central in our efforts, they will lead us toward that unquestionable best. Subject to all our constraints, we can optimize access and affordability so more students can benefit from the exceptional education we offer; optimize the ways we foster a sense of belonging for all members of our community; optimize our already strong emphasis on well-being to equip our students to be resilient and well-balanced throughout their lives; optimize academic excellence by incentivizing superb teaching, mentoring, and research; and optimize community engagement to give our students more real-world experience and give back to this dynamic city.
Economists maximize and optimize, and so can we as a talented, caring, cohesive community of students, staff, faculty, alumni, parents, and friends. I am grateful and lucky to be on this journey with all of you.

HIGH HONORS
HUMAN COST
Mulica shared this experience out of a desire to humanize victims of the war in Ukraine. “I think it’s more distant for people here in the U.S. I don’t know many American people that have a direct connection to Ukraine,” he said. “Anything that can raise attention. It’s the people who are [still in Ukraine] who are the most threatened right now and need all the support they can get.”
No ordinary drive
David Mulica will not soon forget his 2022 spring break road trip. His destination was not a beach, but a refugee camp. Its prompt was not vacation, but war.
Mulica, a dual citizen of the U.S. and the Czech Republic, is a political science graduate student at Charles University in Prague. He lives there with his longtime girlfriend, Valeriya Grechko. She is Ukrainian with family across both sides of the prewar line of control in the country’s Donbas region, which Russian-allied separatists seized in 2014. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February, Mulica was thousands of miles from Prague — spending a semester abroad at Richmond. He went home for spring break and, it turned out, a road trip after Grechko’s mother made the difficult decision to flee her home with Grechko’s younger brother and grandmother.
The decision to go “meant they have to leave her husband behind
because he’s under 60 years old, and he cannot leave the country,” Mulica said. It also meant “they would have to leave their home, their jobs. They would have to really leave everything behind,” but the fighting had been getting closer and closer.
The trio took an evacuation train from their city, Kramatorsk, to Lviv in western Ukraine, becoming some of the 40% of all Ukrainians who had been driven from their homes by mid-March. From Lviv, they boarded a bus that dropped them off at the Polish border, adding them to the more than 2 million Ukrainians who had fled the country by then.
Mulica and Grechko made the eight-hour drive from Prague to meet them at the refugee camp, arriving around midnight. On the overnight drive back to Prague, Grechko’s family members “mostly slept from exhaustion,” Mulica said. “When we picked them up, they’d already been traveling for almost 36 hours.”
A banner year
Four University of Richmond students received Goldwater scholarships, the nation’s preeminent undergraduate award in science and math. Four Goldwater Scholars in a single year is the most in UR’s history, and it’s the maximum number of annual awards Goldwater extends to a school. UR was one of 19 institutions and the only school in Virginia with four Goldwater Scholars.
All four recipients — Andrew Brady, ’24; Harry Dang, ’23; Molly Kate Kreider, ’23; and Narmeen Rashid, ’23 — are also Richmond Scholars, UR’s top academic merit award. The program’s goal is to bring engaged, high-achieving students to campus and to retain those students through strong mentorship and programming.
With the latest awards, UR has now had 36 Goldwater Scholars since the program’s inception in 1986.
ADMISSION
Strong enrollment
The University of Richmond’s appeal to prospective students continues to strengthen. This spring, enrollment management received more than 12,000 applications for the fourth year in a row. More than 14,360 prospective students applied for the Class of 2026, a 3% increase over the previous admission cycle.
In January, an analysis by the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University placed Richmond at No. 41 among institutions “where low-income students get the highest ROI,” or return on investment. The analysis, which included more than 3,400 institutions, placed Richmond ahead of institutions such as University of Virginia, Boston University, and Wake Forest University for the value it offers low-income students.

Welcome, dean
New leadership is on the way for the university’s largest school. On July 1, theater scholar Jennifer Jones Cavenaugh will take the helm as dean of the School of Arts & Sciences.
Cavenaugh comes to UR from Rollins College in Florida, where she is dean of the faculty and the recipient of numerous teaching and research awards. She is also a member of Actor’s Equity and has been a director and performer for more than 25 years. For three years, she served as producing artistic director of Rollins’ Annie Russell Theatre.
“Theater and art are the emotional records of our time,” she told Rollins’ student newspaper in a story about her departure.
Cavenaugh’s areas of teaching and research include gender and performance, theater history, script anal-
ysis, and American musical theater. Her book Medea’s Daughters: Forming and Performing Women Who Kill examines representations of women criminals in plays and television.
“The University of Richmond’s teacher-scholar model and its commitment to a liberal arts education and to undergraduate research drew me in immediately,” she said.
All UR students begin their college journey in the School of Arts & Sciences, which is home to 23 departments, 13 interdisciplinary programs, and more than 300 faculty and staff. Its faculty boast leading national research fellowships, including grants from Fulbright, Guggenheim, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Institutes of Health.
UR’S HEART
Every traditional undergraduate starts as a student in the School of Arts & Sciences. The school offers majors from 23 departments and 13 interdisciplinary programs across the arts, sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
Approximately 60% of all undergraduates declare an A&S major.
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:
More than 40 stations broadcast the report “The Mental Health Benefit of Moving Forward from the Pandemic,” which featured psychology professor JANELLE PEIFER Humans are “not meant to stay in states of this level of stress for prolonged periods of time,” she said.
History professor PIPPA HOLLOWAY discussed voting laws that disenfranchise people convicted of felonies. “Basically, vague laws allow for racially biased enforcement,” she told the NPR program.
Vox asked political science professor DANA EL KURD for context for its article “Why an Israeli Comedian Went Viral in the Arab World.” The comedian’s song satirized the United Arab Emerate’s establishment of relations with Israel. “People can’t really speak up in opposition,” she said.
FiveThirtyEight relied on the DIGITAL SCHOLARSHIP LAB’s “Mapping Inequality” project for its report “The Lasting Legacy of Redlining.” “Without a serious confrontation of its lasting generational damage, the racial segregation caused by redlining isn’t going anywhere,” the authors write.
Law professor ALLISON TAIT published the commentary “Online Tools Put Will-writing in Reach for Most People — but They’re Not the End of the Line for Producing a Legally Binding Document.” One sticking point, she notes, is differences in rules at the state level.

What is, ‘Seriously?’
Earlier this year, English professor Bert Ashe played a surprise role in a Jeopardy! streak making headlines. His name and book were part of a clue, and his personal hairstyle was the right answer — phrased, of course, in the form of a question.
“What are dreadlocks?” was one of more than 1,300 correct responses that contestant Amy Schneider gave during her 40-game winning streak. The clue was “This hairstyle is chronicled in professor Bert Ashe’s book Twisted.”
The surprise of being a Jeopardy! question was “delightfully bewildering,” Ashe said. “I had no sense that this was coming. It was completely out of the blue.”
In Twisted, Ashe recounts his decision to grow dreadlocks and unpacks knotty issues of identity, politics, gender, and race in the United States. An excerpt from his book appeared in the Autumn 2015 issue of this magazine and is available in the magazine’s archives at urnow.richmond.edu/magazine/ archive.html.
Absurd, and delicious
Students from 10 different majors pooled their collective talents, business sense, and taste buds to launch a new line of snacks as part of an entrepreneurship course in the Robins School of Business.
The product line, called Absurd Snacks, consists of two varieties — chocolate and maple cinnamon — of a trail mix. The mix uses roasted chickpeas and fava beans for proteins rather than the more common peanuts to make the product friendlier to snackers with nut allergies.
The snack was developed as part of a yearlong pilot course called Bench Top Innovations. In the course, students compete in small teams during the first semester to pitch a product idea to classmates. The entire class works to launch the winning product during the second semester. AROUND
KEY TAKEAWAY CUREs, the approach supported by the five-year, $1.96 million NSF grant, “have been identified as one mechanism for increasing participation and inclusion in STEM, particularly among students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds,” Dattelbaum said.
“All maps are lies.”

SCIENCES
The joy of inquiry
The National Science Foundation awarded a five-year grant of nearly $2 million to UR’s Jonathan Dattelbaum and colleagues at other nine schools for a project that aims to help increase the number of students who persist in the sciences.
The main goal of their project is offering research experiences in the classroom that encourage more students to stick with STEM disciplines, which have high attrition rates. Dattelbaum, a chemistry professor, is a co-principal investigator of the project, which focuses on an approach called CUREs, or course-based undergraduate research experiences.
The CURE approach shows promise as a tool for “engaging undergrads in the classroom in investigative projects where they don’t necessarily
know the outcome of the research,” Dattelbaum said. This contrasts with more traditional laboratory experiences, where students conduct experiments with known outcomes. Put another way, CUREs invite mystery and discovery in research.
Previously, Dattelbaum and his UR colleague Julie Pollock developed an intensive project for an upperlevel biochemistry teaching lab with goals similar to a CURE. Students take an unknown protein, predict its function, and design experiments to prove it’s the protein they predicted.
“If it doesn’t work, they have to go back, iterate, tweak the design, and redo it,” Dattelbaum said. “That really advances their learning — and their confidence in being able to do that in their chosen field.”

MEDIA When guest speakers came to her class, geography and the environment professor Stephanie Spera noticed her students’ interest in understanding careers related to the environment. That led her and a colleague to launch the podcast “How We Got Here: Because the Earth Needs Professional Help.”
Why a podcast, and why start this particular podcast?
The majority of Gen Z cares deeply about engaging with the climate emergency they inherited. At the same time, these students are facing increased pressure to have defined career paths determined from an early age. Perceived career options are often limited to the classes they take in high school or what is depicted in the media — engineer,
lawyer, doctor — and their families may think that the combination of their strengths and passion is not transferable to a “real job.”
When I launched the speaker series in my class, I knew I had a lot of cool friends who do really cool things — one is a UR alum who is a Nat Geo Explorer. I just emailed about a dozen people and asked if they would come talk about what they do and
their career paths, and they all said yes. My students got to ask them questions, and they all spoke a little bit about “here’s how I got to this place.” My students just loved it. My end-of-semester class survey was full of comments about how great the speaker series was and “we didn’t know you could major in biology and end up an activist” — things like that. That’s when I realized it could be a great resource on a much broader scale.
I approached my friend Rachel Lupien, a paleoclimatologist, about cohosting a podcast as a
way to reach a lot of people, and we dove in. Our guests have ranged from science journalists to policymakers to climate justice activists, and they have talked about their varied and often unpredictable career paths.
What’s the response been?
Allegedly, we have somewhere between two and three thousand listeners. The people who have told us they listen to it really like it, and I think it’s all about hearing different people’s journeys. Our target audience is college students thinking about career paths, but it has wide appeal to anyone
who cares about the climate crisis or wants to learn about super-interesting people.
Has there been a career that stood out to you?
One interview that comes to mind is Craig Santos Perez, who’s an American Book Award winner. He’s an activist and professor and eco-poet. I think it was really cool to hear about how much he could do for the climate movement through his art. All the episodes are connected by climate change, but another through line is how important the ability to communicate is across all careers.
Being able to resonate and reach people on such a large scale is exciting, right?
I wish I heard this in college. I wish someone was telling me: “Oh, here are the 48,000 things that you could do,” and not just, “Oh I saw this path, my professor did this path, or my parents did this path, so I guess I’ll do it.” It’s exciting to arm people with a wide variety of climate-centric careers and the knowledge that you don’t have to have your life figured out at 22.
TUNE IN
“How We Got Here” is available at hwghpod. com and anywhere you listen to podcasts. For season two, which will launch in the fall, Spera and Lupien are brainstorming potential guests, identifying jobs and industries they haven’t covered, and asking others what kind of jobs they want to hear about.

How to be supportive
THE ABCS OF Z’S
Bodies function well with a consistent sleep-wake schedule, and most people need seven to nine hours of sleep per night to feel rested and be at their best. “Focus, concentration, and long-term memory all suffer when we are sleep-deprived, which makes it very difficult for students to do their best work,” LeViness says. “We do better handling any kind of stress if we’re rested.”
Peter LeViness is the dad of two college graduates and the director of UR’s Counseling and Psychological Services. He has also served on the national board of directors of the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors. Here are his tips for supporting the mental health needs of the college student in your life.
1. Destigmatize mental health help. It’s important to let your student know that it’s OK to ask for help. Data show that “[d]ecades of normalizing seeking mental health care” is a significant factor driving an increase in demand at university counseling centers as more and more college students seek mental health services for reasons such as anxiety, stress, and depression. According to LeViness, roughly 25% of UR students seek out counseling services each year. “Every day, people need it,” he says.
2. Resist giving unsolicited advice. Telling someone what to do can prompt them to take and defend the opposite stance.
“Even if someone’s struggling with their mental health, the best approach we can take is to help them think through the pros and cons of reaching out and point them in the direction of the resources that might be available where they are,” he says.
3. Let their dean know about your concerns. If you’re worried about your child’s mental health, let their dean’s office know. “The dean might say the very same things you want to say as a parent, but it may be received much differently coming from the dean than from a family member,” he says. The dean can also help connect your student with the counseling center.
4. Identify resources outside of campus. “Few colleges and universities can provide long-term weekly care for students,” he says. If your student needs long-term care, help them find resources in the local community or encourage them to stay connected remotely with a provider back home, if possible.
5. Encourage regular physical activity. Sustained, long-term stress has a cumulative negative effect on the mind and body. Physical activity helps reduce that stress. “If
we have regular outlets for physical activity, we’re able to ratchet down stress levels and recover from a stressful event faster,” he says. He urges students to carve out at least three time blocks weekly for physical activity.
6. Encourage building a social network. Finding one’s social niche is a central concern of most students during the first few semesters. “Extroverted students naturally think of ways to do that. I worry most about our introverted, less assertive students,” he says. Encourage your student to take small steps — join a club or organization or participate in an activity they enjoy — so they’re around people who share a common interest.
7. Support time off when needed. Sophomore year can be especially difficult for some students as the newness of college wears off. If your student is struggling, be open to a leave of absence. “Not everyone has to do college in four successive years,” he says. Forcing your student to remain in school when unmotivated can have longterm repercussions, but time away from school shouldn’t be idle. Insist your student remain productive, such as by taking a job; it might expedite their return to college.

ARTS
HIP HOP Grammy-nominated artist-in-residence Mad Skillz and liberal arts professor Erik Nielson brought their popular Voice of Hip Hop class to the wider community with an open session at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in March.
“From Where??? Virginia Hip Hop, Past and Present” explored questions about the influence of hip hop locally, in Virginia, and nationally.
Citizen watch
When North American colonists waged a war for independence from Britain and established the United States, they had an important question to address: Who shall be part of the new nation with us? They also had to decide its corollary: Who shall not?
How early Americans argued over these questions is at the heart of a UR historian’s book that received a major award in the spring. In April, the Organization of American Historians awarded Samantha Seeley, associate professor of history, its 2022 Merle Curti Social History Award for Race, Removal, and the Right to Remain: Migration and the Making of the United States. “This brilliant work of scholarship will change the way we teach early U.S. history,” said the OAH in a press release.
The book, Seeley’s first, examines
how the states and federal government excluded groups of people from the nation after the American Revolution. One key strategy was creating legal, political, and diplomatic tools to prompt the removal — forced, coerced, and voluntary — of people deemed not to have the right to live in the United States.
“The popular understanding of the post-revolutionary period is one of free movement — the movement of people to the frontier,” Seeley said. “The book flips that understanding to argue that removal, as much as free migration, made the United States by defining who should be part of it. Because they were threatened with removal so often after the American Revolution, African Americans and Indigenous communities responded by working to protect their right to remain.”
AROUND CAMPUS
Richmond Guarantee
Students staying on campus or going out into the world for summer research and internships will have more support this year from the Richmond Guarantee. The university announced in the spring that the maximum award will now be $5,000, up from $4,000 in recent years.
The increase is possible because of years of donor generosity and good performance by the university’s endowment, said Lori Schuyler, vice president for planning and policy.
A HIGH HONOR
“Every professional historian who studies the history of the United States at any level belongs to this venerable society. Samantha’s achievement is the equivalent of winning a gold medal at the Olympics,” said Seeley’s colleague Doug Winiarski, chair and professor of religious studies and American studies.
In a typical summer, more than 500 students take advantage of the Richmond Guarantee. Through the program, the university provides support for traditional undergraduates to do faculty-mentored research or take advantage of an internship during a summer. Research shows that these high-impact experiences have a strong positive effect on student outcomes.
Fully open again
For the first time in more than two years, the University of Richmond Museums reopened to the greater community in March. The change reflected the university’s update to its COVID-19 response as transmission rates continued to fall on campus and in the community.
“It’s exciting to have new and old friends back in our University Museums,” said Richard Waller, executive director.
Recent exhibitions for the campus community included prints inspired by the quilts of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, and a 20-year retrospective of the Joel and Lila Harnett Print Study Center (see Page 32). For information about upcoming exhibitions, hours, and more, go to museums. richmond.edu.

The award recognized UR’s revamped approach to International Education Week. Richmond extended its 2020–21 celebration — which focused on India — by beginning in November 2020 with student-suggested foods in the dining hall and ending in March 2021 with a virtual appearance by comedian and social commentator Hasan Minhaj and a performance of South Indian Carnatic music.
Active mentoring
The American Society for Cell Biology awarded its 2021 Prize for Excellence in Inclusivity to UR’s Omar Quintero-Carmona, associate professor of biology. The award recognizes his record of mentoring more than 75 undergraduates, including offering research opportunities to undergraduates with no prior laboratory experience, since he joined UR’s faculty in 2012. These students have gone on to careers in medicine, health care, biotechnology, business, law, science policy, and education.

A voice of her own
A bona fide social media star walks among the Spiders in the Robins School of Business. Business major and singer Kavya Borra, ’24, is a co-founder of EarCandy, an exclusively online a cappella group with more than 2.7 million followers and 48 million likes on TikTok.
Borra has always loved to sing. She started with classical Indian music and performed in competitions throughout childhood. Everything changed when she got to high school.
“I really fell in love with R&B,” she said. “That’s when I started posting on TikTok and discovered the singing community there. I wanted to be a part of that.”
EarCandy came about after she started collaborating with other singers on the platform. Its 11 members record individual videos of themselves and edit them together. She hasn’t even met all of them in person. They are spread around
the country and come from diverse backgrounds, which has contributed to their viral success, Borra said.
“Being a South Asian woman, I’ve received a lot of messages from young Indian girls saying, ‘Thank you for being a representation for us,’” she said. “And that is the biggest compliment I could ever receive because growing up, I never had somebody that looked like me in the industry.”
New opportunities keep coming. The group released a Christmas album, and Borra performed the national anthem in Madison Square Garden before a Knicks-Wizards game in December 2021.
“This has been my dream for a while, pursuing music and becoming a singer, and I think I can finally start to see some of the pieces falling into place,” she said. “It feels really relieving, too, to see your hard work go into something that’s successful.”

INNOVATION Curious about new pedagogical possibilities, assistant professor and art historian Agnieszka Szymanska attended a faculty development workshop on using virtual reality in the classroom. It opened up new ideas about how she could use video games to teach students about ancient art.
The first time I put on the virtual reality headset, I didn’t know what to expect. I was curious, sure, but I was also skeptical. I did the walk-the-plank experience. As someone afraid of heights, I could not bring myself to take a leap. The immersive environment completely overpowered my rational faculties. In the end, I had to close my eyes to “jump.”
My students don’t use virtual reality for class assignments, but I do have them use the video game Assassin’s Creed Origins to explore ancient Egypt. The game’s environment is immersive. One of my favorite places to visit in it is the Great Pyramids of Giza. Using my avatar, I climb to the very top of the tallest pyramid, which is something I have fantasized about doing many times but is off-limits in real life. At first, I was struck by the majesty of these grand monuments in their ancient desert land-
scape, which made them look exceptionally well-preserved. But the more I explored the cemetery of Giza as a whole, the more I noticed sand-filled chambers and missing stones, signs of aging exhibited by many pharaonic monuments by the time the Romans annexed Egypt, which is when the game is set.
Despite some historical inaccuracies, the game’s virtual environment is visually stunning, and I am delighted to see Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt as a setting for a blockbuster game series. The word that encapsulates my experience is imagination
As an art historian of premodern Egypt, I need to use a lot of imagination to situate an artwork in its historical context and reconstruct its physical setting while working with oftentimes very fragmentary evidence.
But I also have to acknowledge the limitations of our knowledge. I always have to ask myself what we know and how we know what we think we know, especially when my imagination wants to run wild.
On the one hand, I find the experience of playing the game liberating. The game fills in a lot of gaps for which we don’t have much information. It is like a time capsule that offers a past that we can study but can never fully visit. On the other hand, the
game does a lot of imagining for us, which means that some players might be tempted to take its virtual environment at face value rather than use their own imaginations to ask important historical questions.
My assignment to students asks them to imagine that the game’s maker, Ubisoft, has recruited them to work as research consultants for Assassin’s Creed Origins. Their job is to examine the historical accuracy of the game’s environment. In order to do that, they must evaluate primary sources used by the game’s developers. They must also offer at least one additional primary source, which can be visual, textual, or archaeological, and grapple with how easy or difficult it is to ascertain the accuracy of the game’s historical setting. In this way, students learn how to look for primary sources, which are foundational tools used in historical interpretation.
The assignment also encourages students to consider real-world applications of what they learn in an art history course. If you can imagine a distant place a long time ago, then you can imagine what has not happened yet. That skill can be instrumental in correcting a present course of action.
REAL-LIFE IMMERSION
Szymanska has done extensive research on the Red Monastery, a monastic structure dating to early Byzantine Egypt. In its remarkably well-preserved painted sanctuary, “we can immerse ourselves in a place designed to enhance the monk’s mystical union with God,” she wrote in her dissertation.
Dispatch from Buffalo
The Spiders’ surprise win at the A-10 championship led to a thrilling NCAA tournament run. Season ticket holder Phillip Gravely, ’96, traveled with the team to cover the magic of the madness for URNow.
What an incredible ride it was, courtesy of our men’s basketball team. It was a season that began with a group of seniors and COVID-19-accommodated “super seniors” deciding they had unfinished business and coming back for one more run.
Everything we watched play out in Washington, D.C., and Buffalo, New York, is exactly what they came back to do. A thrilling four-wins-in-four-days triumph at the Atlantic 10 Championship. A trip to March Madness. A first-round victory over fifth-seeded Iowa. It had us all on our feet and forever cemented this team’s place in our hearts.
With the Iowa win, the Spiders notched another noteworthy March moment for a university with a proud collection of them.
The Spiders basketball program moved to 4-0 as a 12 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and it was the ninth time the Spiders have won a tournament game as a 12 seed or lower. No other school has more than four.
But make no mistake, this team’s spectacular run was about more than just basketball. Following a two-year pandemic period that disrupted nearly everything and in which it was easy to lose our connections with one another, this team galvanized our Spider community and reignited a surge of Spider Pride that has brought us all back together in the most powerful way.
As we gathered in the KeyBank Center, in the Robins Center, at game watch parties, and among groups of friends, we shared something that forever binds us —
a love of UR and that red-and-blue feeling that only we know.
When the Spiders left the court following a second-round loss to Providence, they did not walk off with heads held low or to a dejected crowd. Rather, they walked off to one more standing ovation from a grateful and inspired Spider family — literally in Buffalo and at the game watch in the Robins Center, and figuratively everywhere else.
To all of our Spiders players — and especially to our seniors — congratulations and thank you. This was an unforgettable moment in time at a time when we all needed a moment. A moment to reconnect after two years of distance. A moment to be reminded of the people and places that matter so much. A moment to let go and cheer.
In the many great moments of the tournament run, we once again witnessed what makes the Spider community extraordinary. Here are a few observations:

“ This was an unforgettable moment in time at a time when we all needed a moment.”
SPIDER PRIDE RUNS DEEP
Around the country and across the decades, our community was so proud to don our Spider gear, paint our faces, share our experiences, and — most importantly — show up. Whether in the stands in D.C. and Buffalo, at pregame receptions, at watch parties in the Robins Center, on social media, or in gatherings of friends all over the place, we were so proud to be there together, rooting for our Spiders.
OUR APPRECIATION WAS EVIDENT
When the Spiders left the court Saturday night in Buffalo, they received a spirited standing ovation
from the crowd in the KeyBank Center. Perhaps more remarkably, they also received one in the Robins Center — 500 miles away — from hundreds of fans who stayed to applaud an empty court and a team that wasn’t even there. That’s gratitude.
IT’S BIGGER THAN A GAME
When team members arrived back at the hotel following Saturday’s defeat, they were greeted with a reception from family members, friends, fans, and hotel staff that was even more enthusiastic than the one they received after Thursday’s victory. For the next few hours, they stayed right there
in the hotel lobby in the celebratory company of their extended Spider family.
“A
KIND GROUP OF PEOPLE”
Those were the words of a manager at the team hotel as she reflected on the week and expressed her appreciation that it was this particular team and university that landed in her establishment.
Amid the hectic hustle of the week, Spiders consistently showed grace and kindness to other Spiders and non-Spiders alike, from bus drivers to arena staff to opposing teams and fans (even referees — mostly).
WEBSTUR CAN DANCE
critical mistake in challenging WebstUR to a danceoff. Let’s just say it wasn’t even close. So really, we beat Iowa twice that day.
During a commercial break in Thursday’s game, the Iowa Hawkeyes’ mascot made a critical mistake in challenging WebstUR to a danceoff. Let’s just say it wasn’t even close. So really, we beat Iowa twice that day.
PRESIDENT HALLOCK BLEEDS RED AND BLUE
He may be a more recent addition to the Richmond family, but based on the energy
and enthusiasm he showed in D.C. and Buffalo and on various fields here on campus, he clearly is a bona fide Spider.

“We can become unquestionably the best small university in the world.”
— Kevin Hallock, inaugural address
“Students, you’re the reason we’re all gathered here today. You inspire our work, and you make those of us who work here proud to do so.” —KH
Themes of community, optimism, and ambition flourished at the inauguration of Richmond’s 11th president, Kevin F. Hallock.
BY MATTHEW DEWALD
Before Kevin Hallock took the dais for his inaugural address, students, staff, faculty, family, friends, and assembled dignitaries got a glimpse of his personal side. It came courtesy of a longtime friend, Russell Hernandez. Hernandez began by gracefully acknowledging that he met Hallock “at that ‘other’ university where Kevin used to work.” He was referring to Cornell, which Hallock left after 16 years to come to Richmond. Spiders had nabbed both “a true academic” and “a really cool guy,” Hernandez said, citing as evidence their mutual love of Will Ferrell movies, their interpersonal Red Sox-Yankees rivalry, and Hallock’s skills as a carpenter.
“We are all very fond and proud of Kevin,” Hernandez said. “He is a remarkable person. ... He will support this university in every possible way and will make you so proud and glad to have him on your side.”
Shortly after, it was Hallock’s turn. He spoke with pride about Richmond’s strengths, with forthrightness about its challenges, and with optimism about its future. “We can become unquestionably the best small university in the world — where access and affordability, belonging and well-being, and academic excellence and community engagement are synonymous with the Richmond name,” he said. “I believe the best days for our university are ahead.”
Hallock’s journey to the University of Richmond began in Hadley, Massachusetts, a town of 5,000 in the western part of the state where he grew up. His father was a physics professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and his mother a pediatric nurse practitioner. Both enjoyed careers that spanned 50 years. At age 4, Hallock had what would turn out to be one of the defining experiences of his life when he met a fellow preschooler named Tina Grabiec. Their orbits continued to intertwine in the years that followed, with even the alphabet conspiring to give them side-by-side lockers from grades seven through 12. As they grew up, proximity became affection, and affection became lifelong love. They started dating in high school, went to the same college, and got married at age 22.
Their high school class had just 42 students. Hallock won a state championship playing third base for its base -
ball team, a group he describes as scrappy underdogs who believed in themselves. He was also his class valedictorian.
In the summers, he harvested tobacco and cucumbers at a local farm, grueling work that remains a touchstone for him today and gives him deep respect for hard work of all kinds.
On his first day of college at Amherst, he raised his hand to answer a question from his economics professor, who soon became his research mentor. Four years later, he graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, walked the nuptial aisle with Grabiec, and went to Princeton University to earn his master’s and doctoral degrees in economics. He wrote his dissertation on labor economics, using examples ranging from corporate CEOs to single mothers enrolled in a public assistance program.
One of his dissertation advisers was David Card, who shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2021.
From there, Hallock taught for 10 years at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign before taking a faculty position in the human resource studies department of the Industrial and Labor Relations School at Cornell University.
5 ‘guiding lights’
In his inaugural address, Hallock highlighted five “areas of strategic importance [that] can serve as our guiding lights” and around which he believes the university should converge:
1.
ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY: “My aim is for all UR students to be able to pursue their educational goals without feeling so constrained by costs. ... Where I intend to work very, very hard is expanding financial aid opportunities for families in the ‘middle income’ category, and there are very many in this position.”
The part of his CV covering this period charts an upward trajectory of accomplishment, service, and increasing administrative responsibility, from department chair to institute director to dean, eventually becoming dean of Cornell’s SC Johnson College of Business, the position he held until he became UR’s president.
Across those years, he also continued his scholarly productivity, publishing more than 100 articles and 11 books, many of them focused on the labor market and compensation. He has another book under contract. Alongside the academic pieces meant for scholars, he has also written for the broader public to address such issues as the gender pay gap, executive compensation, and earnings mobility from one family generation to another.
He also built a record as an excellent teacher and men-
tor. He won multiple awards for outstanding teaching and served as dissertation adviser for nearly 50 doctoral students who now have positions at places such as the World Bank, the Federal Trade Commission, the American Enterprise Institute, and the faculties of universities across the nation and world.
“When you ask people at Cornell, everyone was expecting Kevin to be president of a university someday,” said Dara Gocheski, who became his executive assistant at Cornell in 2018 and is now his chief of staff at Richmond.
“They just didn’t expect it to happen so soon.”
FIVE ‘GUIDING LIGHTS’
2.
BELONGING: “I love our university’s energy around building a true community of care and belonging. ... And yet, we should acknowledge that not everyone feels like they belong here. ... I look forward to collaborating with members of our community on our continuing efforts to create a more inclusive UR.”
3.
WELL-BEING: “At Richmond, we believe success in college goes beyond academic accomplishments — it is also about equipping students to flourish and lead resilient and wellbalanced lives.”
By virtue of her time with him at Cornell, Gocheski knows Hallock better than her new Richmond colleagues do. A University of Chicago graduate, she calls Hallock, “the least ivory tower academic I’ve ever met in my life.” Her bond with him was nearly immediate. Shortly into her tenure as his executive assistant, she turned down a promotion offer to a higher-profile and better-paying position within Cornell to continue working alongside Hallock.
“I could tell three weeks into working with him that this person is invested in my professional development,” she said. “I think Kevin and I share a mentality. We don’t just look at what’s immediately in front of us. We do look at that, but there’s more.”
Or, as Hallock coincidentally said in his office a few weeks earlier, “What really keeps me going is that I always have my eye around the corner or out at the horizon, which [at Richmond] is extremely bright.”
When Hallock looks at Richmond’s horizon through an economist’s eyes, he sees its comparative advantages, tools that it can use to optimize its potential, as he writes in his column on Page 7 of this issue. In his inaugural address, he highlighted five areas that he called “our guiding lights leading us even beyond Claiborne Robins Sr.’s vision to be ‘one of the finest small private universities in the country.’” These include access and affordability, belonging, well-being, academic excellence, and community engagement. (See running sidebar, “Five guiding lights.”) In crafting the address — which is available in full at president.richmond.edu — one of his challenges was to represent what he’d been hearing from students, colleagues, alumni, trustees, and others during his first eight months. “I really want people to understand that I was listening,” he said several weeks before the inauguration. He also wanted to connect with the Richmond community on a personal level, so he took a cue from his friend Hernandez and began with personal reflection. He offered gratitude for “a cast of characters who have supported me
“Our faculty wake up thinking about how to expand the minds of our students.” —KH
“We are a community of care — where we try to take care of ourselves and look out for each other.” —KH
“We must continue our ongoing and deep commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.” —KH
A remarkable community
While the formal investiture of Kevin Hallock as Richmond’s 11th president was the centerpiece of inauguration, the three-day event was also an often relaxed, campuswide celebration of the creativity, excellence, and joy of the University of Richmond community.
Highlights included an afternoon festival and student performances on Westhampton Green and an evening celebration with food trucks, fireworks, and live music from UR professors who call themselves the Faculty Lounge. Alongside the social events were a student-and-faculty panel on mentored research at Richmond and a conversation with university presidents about the future of higher education.
“This
place is truly special not just because of the research, the collaborations, and spirit here, but also because it starts to feel like family.”
—Makayla Callender, ’22, at inauguration
“We have a president who has a sense of humility and a sense of belonging.”
—Kathleen Hughes Bettencourt, W’89 and a trustee, at inauguration
for the past 53 years — some of whom are here, some who have sadly passed away, and some who simply blew this off.” (The new president has not only enthusiasm about Richmond but also good comic chops and self-deprecation to spare.) He went on to thank his parents and his brother, Bob, as well as his wife, Tina, and their children, Emily and Tyler, all of whom were there in the Robins Center. Hallock had special appreciation for Tina’s mother, Carla, also there, and her late husband, Mike, “a big, brash police detective” who “would have thought this was all awesome and completely ridiculous,” he said.
Hallock began with these personal reflections, he told his audience, to help them “understand why coming to the University of Richmond means so much to me.” He also sounded a personal note in his conclusion.
FIVE ‘GUIDING LIGHTS’
4. 5.
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE:
“We will incentivize excellence in teaching, mentoring, and research in the coming years. ... We must think carefully, together, about the strategic investments that are necessary to help us realize our educational mission.”
“I’m only 53, and I have a lot of energy,” he told the audience in the Robins Center. “I really look forward to seeing what this amazing institution is like in 15 years and being part of our continued progress.” It was a subtle signal that at a time when the average tenure of university presidents is declining, he is thinking about his tenure at Richmond as a long-term proposition. “I see a long runway ahead of me,” he said earlier in his office.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
“We have an extraordinary city and region right here, and many of our competitors do not have this. ... Putting the University of Richmond firmly on the national and international map could very well start right here at home.”
That doesn’t surprise Gocheski, his chief of staff, who describes him as “an intensely loyal person,” noting that he met the person he married at age 4. He also “really enjoys a challenge,” she said. “Kevin is somebody who wants to make a difference.”
In the months and years ahead, Hallock will wear many hats, including harnesser-in-chief of good ideas and enthusiastic partners. In his address, he pledged to “work incredibly hard — in collaboration with you — to make Richmond an even more outstanding place to study, learn, and work and where all feel welcome and a deep sense of belonging. It will take patience, perseverance, and giving each other the benefit of the doubt. And it won’t happen overnight. But together, we can get there.”
This long-term thinking reflects both his professional and personal dispositions. “I have the patience to do things that are going to be hard or that will take a long time,” he said before inauguration. “If it were easy, it wouldn’t be interesting. I haven’t been bored in a really long time, and I like that.”

How a Spider chasing success found it through feeding others and nourishing her professional community. Meet Kathy Aphaivongs-Harrod, ’01.
n a sunny yellow food truck with bright red chili peppers painted on the side, Kathy Aphaivongs-Harrod, ’01, drove to Mayfield, Kentucky, two days after a violent, long-tracking tornado outbreak ripped through the South Dec. 10, 2021. She described it as a scene from a disaster movie: Telephone poles sideways. Houses gone. People searching through debris, picking up pieces of their lives.
Her 15-year-old daughter sat in the passenger seat beside her. “We just cried,” Aphaivongs-Harrod said.
Even before the federal government was on-site to evaluate the disaster and determine what the people needed, Aphaivongs-Harrod saw the destruction on TV and knew how she could help. She leaned on her business sense and the community of food trucks she’s helped lead in Louisville, Kentucky, to be sure local people and first responders had the meals they’d need to sustain them through those hard, early weeks of work.
“She’s a fair woman, and that’s why most people you talk to respect her,” said Jarrod Prince, owner of the Louisville-based Copper Kitchen food truck.
An entrepreneur from a young age, Aphaivongs-Harrod fully intended to graduate from the University of Richmond and climb the corporate ladder, the standard of success in Thailand, where she was born and raised. But food kept creeping back into her life. Along with her knack for organization and an innate drive to contribute to communities, she has merged her passion for cooking with a life that is all about feeding, sustaining, and growing with those around her.
When Aphaivongs-Harrod planned the grand opening of her newest restaurant, All Thai’d Up, she figured it would be a small affair with a banner out front and good food inside. But the date she picked — March 1, 2022 — kicked off Women’s History Month, and the downtown partnership in Louisville had something much larger in mind.
That day, she stood in front of her brick storefront in a red chef’s coat holding ceremonial ribbon-cutting scissors, flanked by the mayor and local female business leaders.
“I got a lot of ‘attaboys,’ ‘good job for doing this,’” she said of the invited guests. “It was nice to have that understanding of being a mom, too, and a full-time worker. These are all presidents and CEOs of their companies, so they know what it takes.
“Just because I’m not corporate anymore doesn’t mean that it’s any easier — probably even harder.”
While her path to opening her own restaurant specializing in homestyle Thai food has been long, the last two
years have been the longest. The pandemic altered her plan just as it closed down restaurants worldwide.
The National Restaurant Association reported that U.S. restaurants sales were down $65 billion nationwide in 2021 from pre-pandemic levels. Full-service dine-in got hit the hardest, and when businesses started back up, the greatest gains were in carryout and communal dining, reported Yelp.
Aphaivongs-Harrod, who was already serving Thai food out of her food truck, tabled her plans for a fancy dine-in place in the suburbs and instead started thinking about how her business could help sustain not just her family but the community as well. She picked a brick building in downtown Louisville where a previous restaurant tenant had closed at the beginning of the pandemic. She focused on a comfortable, quick dine-in experience and a robust carryout. Dine-in customers order at a counter and take a seat in the bright yellow dining room while the chefs prepare the food and runners bring it steaming hot to their tables. It’s fast and casual, open only during lunch hours to cater to the working crowd.
People told her she was foolish to rely on a downtown that has before fallen into hard times. She didn’t listen.
“Downtown in any culture, in any society, is sort of your heart of business, the pulse of the community,” she said. “So I feel like if I let a downtown die and I don’t support the life of it, then everything else around it will eventually die, too.”
She calls Louisville, the hometown of her mother, “a mini Chicago” with a homey Southern vibe. “I’m a city girl from Bangkok, a city of 15 million people. I know I’m not a farm girl, not a suburb girl. I like to be in with the hustle and bustle — but the reason I moved to the States was to get away from the 15 million. Too much.”
Louisville metro’s 1.26 million? It feels just right, she said.
Her dining room features photos of Thailand printed on canvas. It’s one way she shares her home country with her patrons. Another is evident in the silverware; there are no knives.
“Knives are a Western concept, and not until Westernization came to Thailand did we have knives at the dinner table,” she said. “We always had knives to cut and chop and cook, prepare food with, but never to eat. We always used our fork and spoon, and the spoon acted as a knife to cut.
“It’s nice to be able to educate, if they’re willing, that is.”
She told the story of a customer who, during her grand opening week, became irate that there was no knife. Best thing to do is make the customer happy and give them their money back — and hope they don’t come back, said Aphaivongs-Harrod in her matter-of-fact style.
“It’s definitely a learning curve, but most people have been willing to learn. They say, ‘Here’s my fork and spoon. Show me how it’s done,’” she said.
Her menu is another way she shares her culture. She pre-
“I was raised Catholic and Buddhist, but there was one common message: You treat others like you want to be treated yourself.”
pares dishes as customers would find them in Thailand, including drunken noodles. It’s a signature dish, requiring both art and skill for the chef to fry the wide, flat rice noodles without breaking them. And it’s spicy hot. “I’ve had a lot of people sweat on their way out,” she said.
Her restaurant employs six. Employees start at $15 an hour. Add in the pool tip jar, and their hourly rate climbed to $25 during grand opening week. If it hadn’t been for the grand opening ceremony and the media coverage that followed, Aphaivongs-Harrod said no one would likely know she’s the owner. Instead of taking charge, she prefers to hire good people, set the menu, and then take on a supporting role. Her job description, she quipped, reads: “Kathy, I need this, I need that.”
At a dinner party in Louisville in 1976, Kong Kiert, a master’s student at Eastern Kentucky University, first met Hala Shoemaker, a local middle school teacher. The two married in his hometown of Bangkok, where they raised their children, Kathy and Michael, in a complex built in traditional Thai style, with extended family members living in homes on the same property.
Aphaivongs-Harrod’s early memories are of asking the family’s live-in Thai maids to cook stir-fried noodles called pad see ew, which is made with a sweet soy sauce, and then walking around and selling it to the grandmas and great-grandmas. “I would charge everybody the equivalent of a quarter,” she said.
While social hierarchy required the maids to speak to her father from a seated position on the floor, when her American mother entered the room, the women would all talk like equals. Aphaivongs-Harrod spent time in the kitchen with them, watching them cook — and learning as she grew.
“As a kid, you do what they let you do,” she said. “They let me pick the root off the bean sprouts, so I would take off each root and wash them. As I got older, they let me use the knife. And occasionally I got to actually be on the woks — but not too often.”
Her mom taught her Western baking, with rolled sugar cookies at Christmastime and chocolate chip cookies for any occasion. Her dad was the master of Thai cooking.
A police officer, he was regimented in his approach to the kitchen but with a playfulness that reminded young
Kathy that her dad got held back a few years in school. While many traditional cooks add their meats first, he put the sauce and spices into the hot oil and let them sizzle until each aroma was perfectly extracted from the ingredients. Aphaivongs-Harrod said the joke was he used enough garlic that those who took anticoagulants could skip their dose for the day.
His signature dish was Hainanese chicken rice.
“I’ll never forget when I made it here for him one time,” Aphaivongs-Harrod said. “This was probably my early 20s, after I graduated from Richmond. I made it, and he goes, ‘This is good. What’d you put in it?’ I said, ‘I put in the dried squid like you always told me.’
“He was shocked. It was like, ‘I can’t believe you remembered the secret. Well done.’”
Her dual citizenship extended to more than just cooking. In school, she was taught traditional Thai curriculum and also attended an international school run by the Catholic Church. Her mother was Catholic and her father Buddhist. When they went to temple, he was sure to tell his daughter how the family’s offering would be used to feed hungry children or support another social cause.
“I was raised Catholic and Buddhist, but there was one common message: You treat others like you want to be treated yourself,” she said. “So I just hope that, you know, whatever I do, if I ever needed help that people would come.”
While food was always central to Thai family life, in her household it was never seen as a professional aspiration. In middle-class Thai society, it was expected that children would get an education and then a desk job as they climbed the corporate ladder.
Aphaivongs-Harrod applied to U.S. colleges from Washington state to Washington, D.C. Richmond appealed to her because it had a great reputation as a residential campus — and being more than 7,000 miles away from home, she needed a good place to stay. It was a small campus and close enough to D.C., which was the nearest place she could get authentic Thai food.
When she thinks back to her time studying at Richmond, it’s obvious now that food was in her future. When she lived in Lora Robins Court, she created for friends entire menus of food cooked in the microwave. She said

Being a restaurant owner has been hard. During the height of the pandemic, U.S. eating and drinking establishments lost 6 million jobs — half of the sector’s total workforce, according to the National Restaurant Association.
But customers were appreciative of the businesses that stayed open or reopened to help fill the public’s desire for food, said Sara Hanson, associate professor of marketing in the Robins School of Business.
“People who are working were oftentimes seen as the heroes during the pandemic, in the beginning, especially — restaurant owners taking on a lot of risk, their employees taking on a lot of risks,” she said.
Customers were more likely to leave larger tips by way of appreciation, she said.
Restaurants also adapted. Increased takeout traffic required dishes that traveled well or would taste good reheated.
With a tight labor market, owners focused on maximizing efficiency.
Kathy AphaivongsHarrod, ’01, revamped her original restaurant idea into one that requires fewer staff, is open only for lunch, and is in an area where there’s need for both dine-in and carryout services.
That flexibility pays off, said Hanson.
“I think it’s really smart of her to have limited the hours and also be more flexible in terms of meeting the expectations of the consumer in this moment that we’re in,” she said.
Customer priorities continue to shift, Hanson said. One trend is toward customers frequenting establishments that align with their values. By opening her restaurant downtown, Aphaivongs-Harrod is aligning herself with those who believe in revitalization of the community.
“Customers seem to like to know that it’s not just all about making money,” Hanson said.
some of her best times were spent bartending and making food at The Cellar on campus.
She intended to major in Spanish but switched to rhetoric and communication studies and graduated into a series of sales jobs in Louisville and a position as a volunteer firefighter. Then she became a mom — first a daughter, followed by a son — and got tired of working 60 to 70 hours a week with the kids always in daycare.
“I basically packed up and left and went back to Thailand, but knowing that I had enough U.S. work experience that I would not be just thrown into a typical Thai job at a Thai pay scale,” she said.
Corporations loved her. She understood Thai culture and had an American education and business experience. She was the country manager for an insurance company offering employee benefits to international schools before being poached by Cigna to start the company’s employee health program in Thailand. She was constantly courted by corporations and enjoyed the six-figure salaries.
But food was calling her name.
In 2015, she quit and opened an American diner in Bangkok, City Skyline, voted one of the top three American restaurants in Thailand. “It was the only place you could get biscuits and gravy,” she said. Its success led her to open a second location. Too much too soon, the second store failed so terribly that she considered rejoining corporate life.
Instead, in 2017, she packed up the kids and came back to Louisville with more food plans.
As a child, Aphaivongs-Harrod said there was nothing like eating grilled pork with sticky rice on a stick for breakfast. She had to wake up early and walk to the food cart parked at the top of the street or they’d be sold out.
It’s a memory the chef worked hard to re-create.
“It took me 20, 30 times to get that marinade right, but I got it,” she said.
When she returned to Louisville with her children, she opened the modern-day version of that pushcart — a food truck. She didn’t think Louisville was ready for full Thai, so she started by serving wings with Thai sauces and fries smothered in curries. “But they kept asking for pad thai,” she said of her customers. So she dumped the fusion menu and focused on authentic, traditional Thai street food.
It was a learning curve. In the beginning, she parked her truck far from others at events, thinking of them as competition. She soon recognized strength in numbers. “If one of us succeeds, we all succeed,” she said.
Prince, owner of the Copper Kitchen, started his truck the same year as Aphaivongs-Harrod. He saw how she brought the food truckers together, sharing tips and food as they learned business and cooking from one another.
“I was just as excited for her to get events as she was for me, and we love working events together,” Prince said.
At the beginning of the pandemic, Aphaivongs-Har-
“They lost their homes, not their taste buds.”
rod started Louisville Food Truck, a Facebook page, to connect truckers with neighborhoods and organizations needing food services. She continues to manage it, volunteering two or three hours a day to negotiate fees and handle schedules to support both her fellow truckers and the community.
“She’s doing that for a bunch of food truck friends,” Prince said. “We trust her. She has our heart.”
She used this network to quickly stand up a food truck response to the tornado disaster. She put up a GoFundMe page to cover the cost of meals and coordinated 12 trucks to make the four-and-a-half-hour drive to Mayfield and surrounding areas. Ramiro Gandara set up his Cantina the next day. Aphaivongs-Harrod had winterized her All Thai’d Up truck the day before the storms, but she got it back in order and headed out after Gandara. That first night she slept in her truck, which she likened to a huge refrigerator in the December cold. Shivering, she climbed from the floor up onto her generator box to keep warm.
“Every day, we rotated trucks. Some of us stayed the night; some of us drove back and forth,” she said.
Aphaivongs-Harrod stayed seven days over two stretches. She raised $137,000 and served more than 100,000 meals, even helping sling breakfast with the Mennonites who worked with the pop-up World Central Kitchen.
And she kept her menu traditional — fried rice, curry, and vegetable stir fry.
“I was telling people, ‘They lost their homes, not their taste buds,’” she said. She encouraged the truckers to also stick to their menus. She told them, “When you do your
best, they will come — I promise.”
Aphaivongs-Harrod said she’ll keep operating the food truck and Facebook group, even with the demands of her restaurant. She loves the truck’s chaotic, small space, with customers lined up and willing to wait in the festival atmosphere until their order is ready. It’s flexible and durable, and it connects her to many communities.
In the restaurant, there’s more pressure: five times the menu size of the food truck, food that needs to be plated and served at tables, customers who have a half hour to eat before they head back to their offices, and a business clientele with high expectations.
She loves it.
“The food truck got me through, and I enjoy it for the festivities and seeing other food truckers,” she said. But with the truck, she was always in search of the next gig.
“I like it when the customers come to me,” she said.
The restaurant has also given Louisville’s food truck community a chance to give back to her. Never one to ask for help, Aphaivongs-Harrod got a hand from Prince and others in painting her new place. They’ve found other ways to say thank you, such as hiring her husband to work on their trucks and stopping by her restaurant for lunch.
It’s the lessons of her childhood — about helping others, making good food, supporting community — all wrapped up in a business she never expected but that continues to nourish her spirit.

ANNIVERSARY
BY MATTHEW DEWALD
As a student, Joel Harnett, R’45, was a talented debater, Richmond College Student Government president, and tennis team hopeful. Half a century later, he made his most lasting mark on Richmond when he and his wife in 1991 funded the establishment of the Joel and Lila Harnett Print Study Center, which is dedicated to the study, collection, and exhibition of works on paper.
It is also dedicated to providing exceptional opportunities for undergraduates. As part of the center’s founding, the Harnetts also funded the creation of the Harnett Summer Research Fellowship, which provides support for a UR student working full time with museum staff during a summer to research the collections and curate an exhibition.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary, the 2021 Harnett Fellow, Hadley Beckstrand, ’22, reached out to her predecessors, asking each one to pick one work that is representative of a show they curated. She also invited their thoughts on the work they selected. Together, their selections and reflections made up “Two Decades,” a retrospective exhibition showcasing the breadth and depth of the growing Harnett collection and the experiences of Harnett Fellows.
“Curation, if it’s done really well, can influence people’s emotions when they walk into a space,” Beckstrand, an art history major, said. “With art, there’s a lot of social, political, and economic history involved, so it’s not just a monolithic kind of study. I think that’s just fascinating. Being able to construct a room that influences and teaches people is really interesting, and I think it’s important. A lot of people don’t realize how important it can be.”
“Two Decades” was on display in the Modlin Center for the Arts and in Booker Hall during the spring semester. Here’s a look at what visitors saw.

“
Strong art ... [has] this way of putting little bookmarks in our memories of life.
“I am sure that when I was a fellow 10 years ago, I wrote something poetic about the patterns and rhythm built by colors and shapes flowing together, with the individual silhouettes merging into one design. I don’t remember what I wrote, but I do remember this image. It’s hard for me to look at these images and not be reminded of the time and place in life when I worked with them.
“Strong art — just like stories, books, and music — all have this way of putting little bookmarks in our memories of life. I can’t see this now without also seeing it in my past. Often, it seems that what we see in other things says just as much about ourselves in that moment as it does about what we are looking at. Maybe in this image, we are also seeing this scorpion writhing around in time, searching for its own way forward.”

UR HERE
The Dr. Tinina Q. Cade Scholarship Fund was one of six impact areas and more than 160 individual funds that the Spider community supported in April during UR Here, UR’s annual giving day. The results:
• $1.6 million raised overall
• 3,100+ donors, including 1,400+ alumni
• More than $300,000 raised for the annual fund and undergraduate financial aid
Alumni build on Tina Cade’s legacy
After 35 years of service as a mentor, adviser, counselor, and leader for all students, especially ones from underrepresented backgrounds, Tina Cade retired in February. Alumni are carrying on her legacy by coming together to help raise money to create an endowed scholarship in Cade’s honor.
Kimberly Bowers Rollins, ’05, said that she and Cade’s daughter, Camille Hammond, ’97, discussed the idea of a scholarship years ago in anticipation of Cade’s retirement. The plan was set in motion during a University of Richmond Black Alumni Network (URBAN) reunion in February to celebrate Cade’s widespread impact on campus.
“Camille and I formed a fundraising committee to build out this effort, and we asked our peers to give back and spread the word,” said Rollins, former director of development for Goodwill of Greater Washington. “We were able to raise $50,000 in just three weeks.”
STAY CONNECTED
That was fun
From Atlanta to San Francisco to Cleveland to Boston, Spiders turned out to cheer in March. More than 600 alumni attended 16 NCAA tournament game watches from coast to coast. An estimated 500 more attended two pregame gatherings in Buffalo, New York, where the team played. The A-10 tournament prompted game watches in Hampton Roads, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Richmond. More than 600 Spiders attended four pregame gatherings in Washington, D.C.
Alumni regional groups offer year-round programming in more than 50 locations around the country and abroad. For information about connecting with Spiders near you, go to alumni.richmond.edu.
More than $82,000 has been raised for the Dr. Tinina Q. Cade Scholarship Fund, which will be awarded annually, in perpetuity, to a deserving student with financial need.
Rasheeda Perry, ’03, is one of 185 alumni who have supported the fund to date. As an undergraduate, she received a Cigna Scholarship (now the Oliver Hill Scholarship) through the Office of Multicultural Affairs (now the Student Center for Equity and Inclusion), led by Cade. Without this support, Perry would not have been able to afford her education, she said.
“Dr. Cade created a community for first-generation and multicultural students to feel safe and supported,” Perry said. “For me, giving back was a no-brainer. It was an opportunity to honor all the work she’s done and ensure that her impact carries on by helping future generations.”

A Spider honored
In February, Virginia's General Assembly honored Weldon Edwards, R’75, the Spiders’ first Black football player. “When we talk about ‘the first,’ and you talk about someone being a trailblazer, Weldon Edwards was just that,” said Del. John Avoli, R’74. Avoli introduced the resolution and was one of Johnson’s teammates.
For Edwards, it was a day of joy and reflection.
“I look back at the day that I started at the University of Richmond up until this point — all the friendships, the people I’ve met, the ups, the downs,” he said. “I would never change it for anything in the world.”

Spider neighbors
When Kakie Pate, ’19, moved to the Boston area for graduate school, she was surprised by the number of Spiders in the area.
“I always thought that Richmond alumni congregated mostly in New York, Washington, D.C., and a little bit in Richmond postgrad,” she said.
She decided to build more connections with alumni in her new home by organizing a low-key, fun meetup at a local institution in her neighborhood, Southie. She took the Spiders bowling.
“It was a true New England experience because it’s candlepin bowling,” she said. About 30 people came — a cross section of young alumni that included familiar faces and new Spiders she met for the first time.
Small-scale, casual meetups like
this are happening in cities across the country as part of a new initiative launched by alumni relations.
Alumni have arranged taco crawls, played tennis, met at a brewery, and more — typically small affairs drawing 10 or so Spiders. Dagny Barone, ’18, arranged one at a popular farmers market in Richmond.
“The idea was to really just make it an informal meetup that people could attend as part of their normal day going to the farmers market,” said Barone, who helped launch the meetups initiative as part of the Recent Grad Regional Council.
“I think folks are much more informal now, and they’re looking for social events that are much more relaxed.”
‘I do,’ then ‘Go Spiders’
How does a Spider celebrate her wedding day? If you’re former Richmond Rowdies president Sarah Huang Spota, ’13, the answer is Spider basketball. In 2019, just after her wedding ceremony in UR’s Cannon Memorial Chapel, she and husband John hopped a trolley to the Robins Center for the UR-VCU game.
“All the stars aligned,” she said. The wedding party planned on watching for about 10 minutes, but with the game close, Spota — still in her dress and veil — wouldn’t budge. “We had just gotten the lead for a little bit. I thought, ‘I’m their good luck charm. We’re staying.’”
As she celebrated her third wedding anniversary in March 2022, Spota was moving forward in her career in public service, becoming deputy secretary of education in the new governor’s administration.

CONVERSATION STARTERS
McCue recommends starting with these questions:
What inspires you?
Japanese textiles, that trip to Europe, that family heirloom — all can serve as a jumping-off point.
Who matches your style?
Research a few designers and find someone whose work aligns with your vision.
Psst: If McCue fits the bill, she offers a discount for fellow Spiders. Find her at gwynnemccue.com.
When GWYNNE MCCUE, ’97 , walks into a room, she notices when a chair would be better in a different corner. She is a go-to interior designer for creating spaces that blend a client’s style with custom touches and improved functionality. Here are her tips for creating your perfect interior.
1. CALL IN A PRO.
If your Pinterest boards have thousands of ideas, your friends are tired of hearing about your projects, and you can’t make any decisions, it’s time to hire a designer.
“I think many people get to the overwhelmed stage,” she says, “because there’s so much out there.”
McCue sees her role as part personal trainer — “to help you get better results than you could on your own” — and part therapist. She can identify problems you don’t see and mediate different opinions. She credits her UR business degree with helping her turn a time-consuming process into a fun experience for her clients.
2. ASSESS WHAT YOU HAVE.
McCue likes to use what already works rather than start from scratch. A fresh paint job and updated countertops can breathe new life into cabinets. Maybe the carpet just needs a good cleaning, the pillows need new stuffing, or the couch should be turned to face the window.
“I’ve repaired curtains, sewed things, and patched things,” she says. “I’m a practical magician.”
McCue then incorporates paint, rugs, and furniture that complement the existing items. She also notes how the room interacts with adjoining spaces and adds unifying elements.
3. ADAPT AND REACT.
Even the best-laid plans go awry. Two months into a bathroom project (above) — recently featured in Organic Spa Magazine — the contractor found studs and pipes in the walls that couldn’t be moved. This meant the rectangular room would now be L-shaped, the expensive custom ceiling tiles no longer fit, and there wasn’t enough space for a giant tub and shower. McCue reconfigured the layout, proposed a built-in shower seat, and laid the tiles out like a puzzle until she found a new arrangement.
“It’s a great example of what a pro offers,” she says. “When you have a problem,
how do you fix it? How do you not break the budget and your timeline?”
4. BALANCE CLASSICS AND TRENDS.
McCue encourages clients to invest in big items that are classic, safe, and well-made, but to have fun with the details. Lamps, pillows, and small tables can add personality and fun to space but can be replaced as trends and tastes evolve.
“The [big] things in your home, I hope you’re going to keep for a long time,” she says. “I don’t change constantly.”
5. ADD UNEXPECTED DETAILS. McCue’s designs often include touches that improve functionality. Take the spa bath-
room, which was for a client recovering from cancer. McCue incorporated healing features: River rocks on the floor engage the foot muscles and encourage balance. LED lights in the ceiling are used for chromotherapy. And cherry blossom ceiling tiles offer a renewing focal point while reclining in the tub.
6. GRAB YOUR POWER SAW.
McCue isn’t afraid to turn to her sewing machine and power tools. She’s designed pillows and curtains, cut the legs off a dresser, and refinished cabinet doors to achieve the look and function she wants.
“I do all my own stunts,” she says. “And if I can’t do it myself, I know who can.”

K-12 EDUCATION
SPIDER NETWORK Alumni are finding familiar faces among colleagues working in education as more graduates of the Educational Leadership and Policy Studies graduate program move up the ranks of leadership in their schools.
At Tomahawk Middle School in Chesterfield, Virginia, Rebecca Thompson, GC’14, and Charlee Breeden, GC’18, (both left) are the principal and associate principal, respectively. Ashley Reynolds, GC ’18, and Christopher Walker, who earned the ELPS certificate in 2020, hold the same positions at Central High School in King and Queen County, Virginia.
For more information about the ELPS program, which is offered through the School of Professional and Continuing Studies, go to spcs.richmond.edu.
Promising outlook
The employment outlook for new graduates this spring is the best since 2008, according to the Collegiate Employment Research Institute. UR career services staff are addressing the opportunities of the current environment — as well as challenges for the students and alumni they serve.
Last year, when the market was tougher, staff “worked with students on how to be creative when finding opportunities, how to interview virtually, and more,” Denise Dwight Smith, assistant vice president for alumni and career services. “Now our focus has shifted to making them stand out through preparation and opportunities to network.”
Graduating students and alumni
may now be seeing an impressive number of new job openings, but the interview process alone is taking more than a month in some cases, said career adviser Beth Chancy.
“Companies are understaffed trying to replace retirees and staff members who have left, so the job seeker may not hear back from the company quickly,” she said.
Frank Allen, director of employer relations, encourages students to focus on the best job and organizational fit for their planned career trajectory.
“These factors will have a greater impact on long-term success, including earning potential that will far exceed an initial bonus,” he said.

SUSAN AILLERIS, W’89
An expat’s life
Think of classic images and Instagram shots of Dutch life, and Susan Ailleris, W’89, has lived them all as a 31-year expat in the Netherlands. Living on a houseboat? It was romantic, yes, but more importantly all she could afford when she first settled in the country in 1991. Tulips? “The fields are spectacular every year,” she says. “Their beauty always surprises me.”
Skating on canals, à la the classic children’s book Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates? She and her children Luc, now 19, and Emilie, 16, glided along the canals of their town of Haarlem (and even past two windmills) just last year. “It is a quintessential Dutch experience,” she says.
Riding her bike everywhere? That was how she knew she was no longer a fish out of water. The moment she had one child on the front of her bike, one on the back, a neighbor child riding beside her, and bags of groceries astride each handle was “when you feel, ‘I’m really here,’” she says.
Ailleris’ expat experience has been the education of a lifetime, as she has immersed herself in Dutch culture, traveled the continent, and raised her two “third culture” kids with her husband, Philippe, a French national. She mastered Dutch early on and worked in contract management positions, then transitioned to being a “football mom” and holding leadership roles with the Amsterdam chapter of the American Women’s Club, an international organization that’s a lifeline for expats worldwide. “The club is like a nice warm blanket,” she says. “It’s where you can go and everyone knows what you’re talking about. I’ve made some lasting friendships there.”
She encourages all Richmond students to study abroad if possible. “Expand your horizons,” she says. “Seeing the world from a perspective outside your own is the best education.”

SUZANNE LAVIGNE GIBBS, W’90
Her Bay school for boys
When Suzanne LaVigne Gibbs, W’90, worked in higher education, she noticed many of her most successful students shared one key quality: strong social-emotional skills. They got along with their roommates, managed their time well, and collaborated on projects.
Years later, when her eldest son was preparing for middle school, she wanted to find a progressive school that fostered those same skills.
By that time, Gibbs had moved to the Bay Area in California with her husband, Brian, B’90, who died of cancer in 2013. Her search led her across the bay to a boys’ school in Berkeley. Gibbs and several other parents spent more than a year trying to open a satellite campus, but the timing never aligned. She found another school for her son and set aside the plans for a new school.
“Then, in the summer of 2020, it felt like the whole world was in need,” she says. “I found another partner and threw myself into it.”
They approached the head of the Berkeley school, who agreed to join them. In fall 2021, the Peninsula School for Boys opened with 14 sixth grade boys in its first class.
The school prioritizes hands-on learning and teaches each student to recognize his role in the greater community.
“Middle school is when kids are figuring out who they are outside their family, who they are as a person, and how they fit into society,” Gibbs says. “We give them a safe place to experiment and discover that.”
While the school came too late for her older son, Gibbs says her youngest applied this spring. But more importantly, she says, the school is her way of giving back to a community that supported her family when Brian died.
“The school is my legacy to Brian,” she says. “It’s what I needed to do to say thank you.”

KEVIN MOONEY, L’92
A twisty path to fulfillment
Kevin Mooney, L’92, has always been drawn to boats. He attended the Merchant Marine Academy and landed a job as a tugboat captain — a position he hoped to have for life. But nine years in, Mooney was involved in an accident that changed everything. While the Coast Guard ultimately determined he wasn’t at fault, the accident was the latest in a series of incidents. Mooney was let go.
Around the same time, Mooney was beginning to realize that he struggled to focus. He saw an occupational therapist who helped him understand his challenges — and his skill sets.
“This was in 1986, and they didn’t know much about adult ADD yet,” he says. “But after a long battery of tests, I had two choices based on the results: architecture and law.”
Mooney chose law and came to Richmond. He also completed a self-directed joint MBA program through Seton Hall University in New Jersey.
He also kept his sights on the water. He held positions with a maritime law firm and a marine insurance company while serving in the Navy Reserves. He was then asked to return to active duty.
In the meantime, when Mooney was 47, his son was diagnosed with ADD. His doctor recommended Mooney be tested as well.
“My life changed,” he says. “[With treatment,] my ability to pay attention went off the charts, which made a big difference in my naval career.”
Mooney left active duty in 2008 to work as a civilian with the Naval Special Warfare Command. Last year, he transitioned to a contractor role.
His path isn’t one he envisioned; when he was forced to change directions, he was devastated. Looking back, he says his decision to attend Richmond Law marked a major transition point.
“My life revolved around being close to the water,” he says. “Law school was a key part of the pathway to being who I wanted to be.”

Oyez, oyez BACK THEN
We hereby look back on Nov. 19, 2010, when Antonin Scalia, an associate justice of the Supreme Court, visited the university as Orator in Residence.
There was a room waiting at the Bottomley House for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia when he arrived from Washington, D.C. It was reserved as a sort of home base where he could retreat and relax, as necessary. The justice, then in his early 70s, had a long day planned.
Too long, worried Kevin Walsh, the former Scalia clerk and now Richmond Law professor who arranged the visit. The schedule called for Scalia to give two talks on campus, attend a campus reception hosted by the Federalist Society, and then head downtown for dinner and a Red Mass. Some of the stops included always-unpredictable Q&As; all promised innumerable hands to shake, photos to snap, and snippets of small talk to conjure.
“Have I overloaded the schedule?” Walsh wondered to himself as he waited to greet his former boss. The day ahead was easy to imagine as an exhausting ordeal.
“What was most remarkable was that he gained in energy as the day went on,” Walsh later said. “There was something in his personality. It was so convivial. He was
someone who not only exuded energy and interest, but really drew that from the room, the students. And not just the people who agreed with him.”
One of those students was L. Margaret Harker, L’11, then president of the Federalist Society’s student chapter, which hosted a reception, “a pretty intimate setting, maybe 80–100 people,” she said. Two of them were her mom and dad, there to watch their daughter present him with a gift on behalf of the society.
The gift was unusual by design — Scalia surely gets lots of them, she reasoned, and she wanted hers to stand out — as was a story she had prepared to go with it.
The tale that she unfolded involved a boy’s eagerness to avoid hard times via “a silver ball of golden thread” given to him by an old woman. “If he wished time to pass quickly, he need only pull the thread and an hour would pass like a second,” Harker explained. And pull he did, at every moment of hardship, until he became an old man who had missed much of his life.
The lesson Harker drew was the impor-
tance of resisting the temptation to “grasp for happy outcomes while skipping over legal dif culties.” She then handed Scalia a gilded box containing a spool of golden thread, secure, she said, in the knowledge that he would never unspool it.
“I was nervous about how it was going to be received,” said Harker, now a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice. “He had a very warm smile, very sincere. He was clearly enjoying it.”
Scalia’s easy, gregarious warmth struck Harker throughout the Q&A that followed.
“Nothing was prepared, and he had no idea what would be asked,” she said. “He was very funny, very candid, very opinionated, and seemed to sincerely engage. It was a very natural conversation.”
The evening Red Mass was another gift-giving occasion. At this event, Walsh helped present a custom-made cap modeled on the one worn in a famous portrait of St. Thomas More, the namesake of the legal society hosting the event.
Walsh saw that hat on Justice Scalia’s head again a few years later, in press reports. The justice made a minor stir when he wore it to Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013.
UR PLEASES THE COURT
Sitting justices of the Supreme Court have been frequent visitors to campus over the years, including three of the court’s current justices: Sonia Sotomayor in 2015, Elena Kagan in 2012, and Stephen Breyer in 2011. In 2007, Chief Justice John Roberts spoke at a law schoolhosted conference in Jamestown, Virginia.

SHAUNA MYERS KNOX, ’10
A scholar and activist
As a junior at Richmond, Shauna Myers Knox, ’10, studied abroad in Durban, South Africa, where she wrote a thesis on the program’s theme of truth and reconciliation. While there, she developed an interest in education as she noticed how race and socioeconomic status contributed to deep disparities in the quality of education students received.
Knox became increasingly invested in educational inequity, which she studied in her master’s and doctoral programs. She was accepted into former President Barack Obama’s inaugural class of interns and observed policy innovations that were designed to improve equity. Then, to better understand the U.S. educational system, Knox, who is from Jamaica, signed up for Teach for America.
“It was eye-opening,” she says. “I taught in a racially diverse Title I school in which every student qualified for free breakfast and lunch. The standard of education we were offering them fell extraordinarily short of what people of means received.”
Knox continues to explore these themes in her research. She recently released a curriculum theory book, Engaging Currere Towards Decolonization. A book forthcoming in 2022, The Black Subaltern: An Intimate Witnessing, talks about the importance of exploring the fullness of Black humanity.
She also translates her scholarship into activism. Knox is the chief of racial equity strategy at Associated Black Charities, a Baltimore nonprofit. She works alongside political and business leaders to implement strategies that aim to move organizations toward racial equity and justice and to close the racial wealth gap. She also is a charter member of the International Civil Society Working Group for the United Nations Permanent Forum for People of African Descent.
“I started in education, and it will always be my home,” she says. “I’m expanding that reach into the workforce ecosystem to grapple with questions about what restitution looks like for Black people in America. There is profuse injury to address, and I am devoted to its repair and restoration.”

In good voice
When Claire Ligon, ’10, came from New York to Richmond on the Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum Scholarship for women in the arts and started singing lyric soprano in Schola Cantorum, the biochemistry and molecular biology major noticed the humid Virginia climate was causing allergies that tightened her voice. She was referred to a speech-language pathologist who specialized in voice rehabilitation. At the consult, Ligon found not just help for her stressed vocal cords but her calling in life. “I thought, ‘That is a really cool job,’” she says. “It’s a perfect balance between my artistic and scientific sides.”
Ligon now helps others protect their pipes as an assistant professor in speech-language pathology with otolaryngology at the Johns Hopkins Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. “It’s my passion,” she says. “I feel like I was made to do it.”
She has aided singers, actors, and even commentators for CNN and NPR in adopting vocal exercises, a vocal budget (monitoring their talking versus resting minutes), and a vocal hygiene regimen. “Simple steps like drinking plenty of water and taking hot showers to humidify your voice help the majority of patients off the bat,” she says. Her clientele also includes patients with head and neck cancers who have swallowing disorders. “It’s such rewarding work because you’re constantly amazed by the resilience of the human spirit,” she says.
While Ligon doesn’t often sing these days — except to send recordings to her dad — she does lift her voice to spread the word about her specialty to general practitioners and to the public. “Your voice is so important,” she says. “If you’re having a problem, don’t wait months and months to get it looked at. The faster you have things checked out, the better your recovery.”

JARRIEL JORDAN JR., ’18
The real(ty) deal
For Jarriel Jordan Jr., ’18, being a real estate agent isn’t too different from playing starting cornerback for the Richmond football team.
“You learn plays,” he says. “You have to practice and practice until it’s automatic and consistent and you know exactly what to do and when to do it.” Jordan has created some winning plays of his own since earning his real estate agent license in August 2018. He’s building his brand on social media, in part by setting real estate basics like debtto-income ratios, down payments, and closing costs to a beat in concise and catchy TikTok videos. Those moves plus word-of-mouth referrals have caught the attention of his target demographic: first-time homebuyers in Prince George’s County, Maryland, the most affluent African American-majority county in the United States. “I love helping people my age in my area learn everything about the homebuying process and go from point A to point Z with less stress,” says Jordan, whose sales totaled more than $9 million in 2021.
Jordan earned a 2019 Rookie of the Year Award from the brokerage where he cut his teeth, Exit Landmark Realty. He now works as an agent for the Home Team Realty Group, an independent brokerage founded by his mother, Wyevetra Jordan, a veteran real estate agent, in the community where he grew up. “It’s great to have her mentorship,” he says.
Her guidance has been especially valuable given the pandemic-fueled buying frenzy that has rocked the real estate market the past two years. Jordan has drawn on yet another skill from his college athletic days — the ability to fight through adversity — to calmly and confidently shepherd his clients through the extremely trying market to complete the biggest purchase of their lives. “There are challenges,” he says, “but they’re all worth it in the end when our clients get their keys.”

Care packages
When the current mailroom opened in 1982, the world of interpersonal communication was almost indescribably different than today. No email. No texting. Long-distance calls — remember those? — were billed at expensive, by-the-minute rates. Snail mail letters and cards were often the best options. Packages were only for special occasions.
That’s why, when the mailroom opened, its centerpiece was 3,500 shiny brass 5-by-10-inch boxes, one for each student. Today, the campus post office still operates in that physical space, but the services it provides have undergone a revolution that’s outgrown those little brass boxes.
The staff currently processes
Print and mail service associate Dante Parker said that when he started in 1992, just seeing a tracking number was a big deal. “We would be so excited,” he said. “One to five of those packages would come in” each day.
A big contributor to the rise of package volume: shippingAmazon’spractices. A few years ago, three items ordered together would likely have arrived in one box ...
800 TO 900 PACKAGES on average each day. NOW THEY THREE. OFTEN COME IN
At the start of each semester, the mailroom rents trailers to hold everything coming in.
“We rely on our counterparts at the print shop and sometimes the bookstore to help with package volume,” Timothy Dorsey, assistant director of mail services, said.
In 2020, the mailroom processed APPROXIMATELY 174,000 PACKAGES. Five years ago, they were doing perhaps 70,000 a year.
“We’ve seen everything,” Dorsey said.
“Car tires, kayaks, refrigerators, you name it.”
As package volume has risen, lettered mail volume has plummeted. The staff often has to remind students to check their brass mailboxes.
