    This summer, University of Richmond alumni are invited to join SummUR in the City—a curated series of cultural and culinary adventures in cities across the country. Each city will host events centered around two exciting themes: museum tours and food tours. Whether you’re discovering hidden gems in local museums or savoring flavors from the best neighborhood spots, you’ll be doing it alongside fellow alumni who share your Spider pride. Reconnect with your alumni community, explore your city in a new way, and make this a summer to remember—one bite, one exhibit, and one great conversation at a time.
