The University of Richmond encourages significant involvement of students, faculty and staff in volunteer service throughout the Greater Richmond Area. Leaders of several community agencies and Richmond area visionaries have provided outstanding leadership and guidance in support of the University of Richmond community. In recognition of their service, the University of Richmond has established an advisory board called the University of Richmond Service Associates.
- Service Associates is a board of distinguished Richmond area professionals who deserve recognition for their involvement with the University and their aggressive, creative and sometimes courageous leadership in helping transform communities and environments into healthy productive settings.
Service Associates will promote the University s community involvements to their various constituencies.
Service Associates will work with the Chaplain to the University and the Chaplaincy Staff on matters of service and community involvement in the Greater Richmond Area.
Service Associates will assist in exploring new ways for the University to remain relevant in serving its host city.
A grant (UR Service Associates Grant) is available each year to the Service Associates to award to an organization or program deemed most capable of making a significant impact on community life.
