The University of Richmond's recent graduates are important members of the greater University of Richmond Alumni Association (URAA) and the Spider family. Whether you find yourself near or far from Richmond upon graduating, the URAA's goal is to keep you connected to your beloved alma mater. Fostering a sense of belonging is key—offering spaces for alumni to share experiences, collaborate, and support each other creates a dynamic and lasting connection. Join your fellow recent graduates by attending an alumni event in your region, supporting the University with an annual gift, connecting with current students, or following along with us on social media. The Spider network thrives when alumni stay connected, ensuring it continues to grow and remain strong for years to come.
