On June 24–25, admission will offer The Scoop: Mastering the College Process, a legacy program for rising high school seniors and juniors, as well as their Spider parents, to learn about the nuances of applying to highly selective universities.

Recruit a Spider

Penny Hu, ’23, knew what she wanted when she was thinking about where to go to college. Something big enough, but not too big. Near a city, but not in it. Definitely liberal arts.

Richmond had flashed across her radar but not jumped out. That changed on the Saturday of her SAT exam at her school, Linden Hall in Lititz, Pennsylvania. In the classroom where she took it, she saw a gigantic Spider flag on the wall and UR paraphernalia all around her.

The room’s teacher, Damien Hondares, ’17, became her mentor soon after and helped guide her decision to become a Spider. It was all part of his master plan when he started teaching shortly after graduation — “I’m going to be a walking, talking advertisement for Richmond,” he thought to himself.

With experience, he’s learned that the best way to help prospective students like Hu is to do what he did with her: Listen to what they want and give advice accordingly.

“Let’s not put unhealthy pressure on students so you’re not adding stress to their plate but are there as a caring figure they can trust,” he said.

Listening is key, agrees Laura Venos, ’04, a college and career specialist at McLean High School in northern Virginia. “When I’m helping students, I try to get them to think about criteria that’s important to them. Certainly if I start sensing some Richmond-like criteria, I’ll definitely recommend it.”

Her advice for alumni talking to young people about college focuses on being supportive. “You always want to honor the student’s stress and the pressure they have — just offer, ‘How can I be helpful?’” She finds that the answer is often just by talking about her own experience.

When Richmond is the right answer, alumni can offer encouragement with a new, tangible incentive: an application fee waiver. For the first time this fall, applicants can have their $50 application fee waived with the recommendation of an alumnus. Tell the student to select “Alumni waiver” during the application process. Fifty bucks might not sound like much, but every little bit helps students applying to multiple schools. It may be the nudge that a promising prospective Spider needs.

STAY CONNECTED

Save the date

Talk about a welcome headline. We hope you'll save the dates Nov. 5–7 for a Homecoming of in-person gatherings and events, including a Saturday afternoon of Spider football versus Towson.

Planning was still in progress as we went to press. For the latest information, go to alumni.richmond.edu/return-to-campus.

Class of 2020 celebration

Members of the Class of 2020 reassembled on campus Sept. 18–19 for an in-person celebration of commencement that the coronavirus pandemic denied them in May 2020.

The Saturday schedule featured a reception by each school, followed by an all-class celebration on Stern Plaza outside of Jepson Hall. On Sunday, graduates gathered for a Class of 2020 Commemoration Ceremony, where they finally processed in person in caps and gowns as their names were read. Tim Hightower, ’08, a 10-year NFL veteran and current director of alumni relations for the Washington Football Team, served as keynote speaker.

Link up

All Spiders receive career services for life. One way to connect with fellow Spiders professionally is University of Richmond Career Connections, a LinkedIn group with more than 6,000 members.

The group provides a safe online environment for UR alumni and current students to interact while focusing on achieving their professional goals. Job opportunities, networking, and advice seeking are all fair game for posting in the group.

SPORTS

OLYMPICS Former Spider pitcher Jonathan de Marte, ’17, faced 11 batters and threw 40 pitches over two games for Team Israel during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in August. Spiders assistant baseball coach Nate Mulberg was a member of the team’s coaching staff.

“So proud to have had the chance to represent @urichmond @SpiderAthletics and @SpiderBaseball here in Tokyo,” Mulberg tweeted after the team’s final game.

COMMUNITY

Kimberly Bowers Rollins, ’05, adjusted quickly so Goodwill of Greater Washington could serve new needs.

Stronger together

At its pre-pandemic peak, Goodwill of Greater Washington employed more than 1,000 team members. When it was forced to temporarily shut retail operations, the nonprofit had to furlough the majority of its staff, many of whom were also its clients, for three months.

“My job immediately shifted from traditional fundraising to securing emergency funds to keep our doors open,” said Kimberly Bowers Rollins, ’05, vice president of development for Goodwill of Greater Washington. “Our fundraising centered on everything COVID exacerbated.”

Her efforts as the organization’s fundraiser-in-chief allowed the organization to ramp up its client outreach at a time it was desperately needed. The nonprofit opened a virtual career center, loaned out laptops, partnered with Comcast to provide internet access, and launched an emergency assistance fund. It also raised money to cover furloughed employees’ health insurance.

“I take seriously my role as a connector of people, causes, passions, and resources,” she said.

She continues doing this today. A favorite moment is the graduations that follow Goodwill’s employment training programs.

“Dressed in their caps and gowns, our graduates smile and cry with their family members,” she said. “Graduation is never the end — it’s the beginning that sets our participants on the path to securing and retaining employment. It’s exciting to know that the fundraising I do supports not only individual participants, but the trajectories of entire families.”

SPIDER PRIDE

Rollins’ career in development includes a stop at UR, where she raised funds for Richmond Law. She continues to support UR as part of the leadership team of the University of Richmond Alumni Association. She is URAA’s VP for membership. OF NOTE

A dear dad

Bobbie Heilman Murphy, W’75, had an especially memorable Memorial Day weekend with friends and family this year. She spent it in LaGrange, Kentucky, for the dedication of a statue of her father, former Chancellor and President E. Bruce Heilman, who died in 2019.

The statue, which sits on the campus of the Oldham County History Center northeast of Louisville, is called “The Road Warrior.” It depicts Heilman on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle as a tribute to him and all veterans. For years, he traveled on his Harley as a spokesperson for the Greatest Generation Foundation and the Spirit of ’45. American Legion riders rode from Virginia to LaGrange to honor him as part of the dedication.

“I think he would have been tickled pink,” Murphy told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “I think he and Mom were up there smiling down on us. And I think he was chuckling a little bit, to think a farm boy from Kentucky would have a statue erected for him.”

Update

Mark Simerly, R’84 — whom we profiled in the Winter 2020 issue when he was a brigadier general commanding U.S. Army forces in South Korea — has a new rank and a new appointment. In July, the now Maj. Gen. Simerly became commanding general at Fort Lee in Virginia. Major general is the army’s highest permanent peacetime rank.

GET INVOLVED

Members of the URAA — and you’re automatically a member if you’re a Richmond alum — enjoy a variety of benefits, including an alumni directory, career development services, and more. To learn more about URAA’s programs and services, go to alumni.richmond.edu/ association. SPIDER PRIDE Shannon Kelley, B’87, became president of the University of Richmond Alumni Association in July.

What made you interested in serving as URAA’s president?

I love the university. I’m lucky that I've been able to be engaged in a number of ways since I graduated.

My husband is an alum, and we have three daughters. One graduated in May 2020, one is a rising senior, and our youngest is starting in the fall. My love affair with the university has continued because, as a parent, I’ve seen the university through their eyes. I think that the university’s direction is terrific, and I’m proud to be an ambassador.

What do you want alumni to know about the URAA?

That it exists for everyone. Once you graduate from the university — whether you graduated in 1960 or in May 2021 — you are part of our alumni association, and we serve you.

We want you to continue your affiliation with the university throughout your life and always feel like a part of the university community.

What does the URAA do?

We work with alumni relations and career services to encourage alumni to engage with the university. That can happen in a lot of ways, regardless of where an alum lives.

Spiders can help current students through a mentorship role. They can hire another Spider or offer an internship or networking opportunities. They can also volunteer with their class when it’s their reunion year. We are thrilled when enthusiastic Spiders speak with prospective students and encourage them to visit the university. We also encourage alumni to give back to the university financially.

You also have a role as the voice of alumni at the university.

We want alumni to know that we are thoughtful, we’re listening, we care, and we want to hear what they have to say.

Did the pandemic teach you new things about alumni programming?

We saw that people who hadn’t been able to engage with the university — maybe they live in Kansas or Minnesota — were signing up for the virtual programming. There was some event that was of interest to them, they signed up, and they were part of the virtual community, so we are excited about that. I think the virtual programming will continue and alumni across the globe will continue to participate.

Tell me about the URAA leadership.

One of the things I love about our board is that we have a real diversity of voices among the 28 of us. Our board members span class years from 1959 to 2020, and people’s lived experiences are very different. It remains a very strong objective to make sure that our board diversity continues.

It's important to be able to evolve in your thinking. You might express an opinion but then start to think a little bit differently because you’re hearing from other board members with alternate perspectives.

What do you have planned for the upcoming year?

Obviously welcoming Dr. Kevin Hallock and doing what we can to help him with his priorities. He will have receptions throughout the country, and we really want alumni to come out and meet him.

We will continue helping with career support to enhance the Spider network. We’re also looking forward to hopefully getting people back to campus. People are motivated to connect in person.

We also plan to continue having conversations and training on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging to further our ability to engage alumni in meaningful conversations.

QUOTATION

“Megan, I am a Spider and was in space.”

Retired astronaut LELAND MELVIN, R’86, replying to fellow astronaut Megan McArthur, who is aboard the International Space Station, after she tweeted, “Relax, you’re in space, remember? No spiders.” Spiders are everywhere.

ENTERTAINMENT

At right, proud Spider Dave Burd, ’10

Shoutout to UR

Today’s best-known Spider in pop culture gave UR’s academic excellence some serious exposure on his TV show and social media channels, whose viewers and followers combine to number in the millions.

Dave Burd, ’10, who broke out as a rapper via viral videos, has given that early success durability with hit singles and a TV series, Dave, which is the FX networks’ highest-rated comedy ever.

In the episode “Ad Man,” which aired July 21, Burd’s semifictional alter ego, Dave, participates in a media event alongside rappers Lil Yachty and Desiigner. After the first two detail hardscrabble backgrounds, the camera cuts to Dave, who makes a rule-of-threes comedy turn. He skewers his comparative privilege by detailing a comfortable upbringing in the Philadelphia suburbs. Then he turns to his college years.

“I went to college at the University of Richmond, and I graduated as the marketing student of the year,” he says. “And actually, Businessweek ranked my undergraduate program as the No. 1 undergraduate marketing program in America. So by the transitive property, I was incredibly well-positioned.”

Burd was indeed a business major and graduated summa cum laude, although the 2010 commencement program makes no mention of an award. The ranking stat is embellished but not far off. Businessweek ranked the Robins School of Business No. 15 on its 2010 list of best undergraduate business programs.

ON AIR

Burd’s move to TV put him in the company of other Spiders on the small screen. Jamie McShane, R’88, has had a number of TV roles, most recently on CBS’s SEAL Team. Grant Shaud, R’83, played Miles Silverberg on Murphy Brown. Earl Hamner Jr., R’44, created The Waltons and Falcon Crest and wrote for The Twlight Zone. BOOKS

STILL LIFE REBECCA PACHECO, '01

A new account of the epic tale of the Buddha on the eve of his enlightenment. Pacheco has “framed and retold the story of the Buddha with more immediacy, vivacity, and relevance than I would have thought possible. It’s marvelous,” writes her adviser on the project, her former UR professor Miranda Shaw.

COMMUNICATION JON WAKEFIELD, ’98

This ebook draws on Wakefield’s years of experience to help IT professionals advance their careers by strengthening their communication skills. “While tech skills are a given, communication skills are rare — making them invaluable,” he writes.

THE UNFIT HEIRESS AUDREY CLARE GIAMPIETRO FARLEY, '07

A shocking story of a woman poised to inherit millions whose mother, aided by a eugenics law, had her declared “feebleminded” and secretly sterilized to deprive her of her inheritance. The case sparked a sensational trial and forced a public debate on eugenics and reproductive rights.

CONTEMPORARY CORRECTIONS L. THOMAS WINFREE JR., R’68

This textbook introduces students in criminal justice and related fields to the history of corrections, alternatives to incarceration, probation/parole, race/ethnicity/ gender issues in corrections, re-entry into the community, and more.

79 and still persuading

When then-cadet Barry Steinberg, R’63 and L’66, informed his ROTC commanding officer of his post-graduation plan to go on active duty, the answer he got was what he expected.

“He told me, ‘That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard you say.’ Then he asked me if I had ever thought about going to law school.”

Steinberg had not.

“You argue about everything,” his commanding officer explained. “And even when you’re wrong, you’re very persuasive.”

That January day at UR proved to be life-changing. His next appointment, at the insistence of the commander, was with the dean of Richmond Law, who conditionally admitted him. His mom was delighted that he chose law school over his early 1960s, pre-ROTC career of choice. “I wanted to be a professional folk singer,” Steinberg said, smiling.

Steinberg’s penchant for persuasion served him in his role creating the Army’s Environmental Law Division in the mid-1980s. Standing up a new division meant convincing the Secretary of the Army of the need for environmental legal expertise.

“I had a 45-minute briefing ready, and 15 or 20 minutes in, the secretary stopped me,” Steinberg said. “He said, ‘Colonel, how many people do you need?’ I told him 17. He said, ‘Approved.’”

While Steinberg retired from the Army in 1989 as a full colonel, he continues his work in environmental law as a partner at Kutak Rock in Washington, D.C. Now 79 years old, the father of four and grandfather of nine still regularly deals with issues ranging from water contamination and unexploded ordnance to the impact of global warming. His children regularly question him about outright retirement.

“I tell them if I found something I’d rather do, I’d go do it,” he said. “But I like what I do, so why stop?”

ESTHER JANE HARDENBERGH, W’82

Pitch perfect

Music has always been a big part of Esther Jane Hardenbergh’s life. Hardenbergh, W’82, began playing the piano at 4; she also played violin, organ, and guitar at an early age.

“I was very musical,” she said, “but I intended to be a doctor.”

That changed for the third-generation Spider while at UR. Disenchanted with the sciences, Hardenbergh pursued a degree in music and followed it with a master’s degree in music performance at Boston University. That led to years singing professionally in New York and Europe.

“I was one of not a lot of sopranos getting called to sing background,” she said. “Although it wasn’t always solo work, I loved every second of it.”

Although Hardenbergh enjoyed success as a working musician, a desire for financial stability pulled her in another direction. She got a doctorate at Columbia University and took a faculty position in music at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. There, she enjoyed both the singing she loved and the security she needed. “I sang more than I ever had,” she said. “I became a real soloist at that point, running all over the country, singing with orchestras.” She became chair of the department of vocal performance and director of the Patti and Allan Herbert Frost School of Music Program at Salzburg, which provides young artists an academic and musical experience in Austria.

Hardenbergh retired in 2017 and now spends her time traveling with her husband, Whit, and their Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Ringo.

“I had amazing teachers, both in and out of school, who really affected the path my life was going to take in ways that I couldn’t have planned,” Hardenbergh said. “I really enjoy being that kind of person in a young person’s life. I could not have planned my life better if I had tried.” —Cheryl Spain

All those boys

Campus is exuding renewed energy as we inch closer to more normal routines following last year’s significant but necessary precautions. An earlier generation of Spiders would recognize the buzz. Seventy-five years ago, UR roared back to life after a worldwide crisis.

The odds were not in their favor. In the fall of 1946, a student’s chance of getting a seat to eat in the dining spot that everyone called “the slop shop” was 0.06666 — “in round figures,” added Bob Mundy, R’47, the student who calculated it.

The problem was too many students. Seventy-five years ago, UR enrolled a then-record 3,330 students, blowing past the previous high-water mark of 2,174, according to The Collegian. They crowded classrooms and registration windows in Millhiser gymnasium, caused long lines for textbooks and coffee, and prompted the university to hire 21 additional faculty.

UR’s sharp enrollment increase was part of a tidal wave of higher education matriculation across the country as college-age men returned from Europe and the Pacific after World War II. With GI Bill benefits in hand — the legislation had passed quietly in June 1944, as D-Day dominated the news — veterans went to college in unprecedented numbers. (America’s young adults were also getting busy in other ways. Census figures show that about 600,000 more babies were born in the U.S. in 1946 than in 1945, marking the beginning of the baby boom generation.)

At Richmond, the impacts of the enrollment surge were evident across campus, if contemporary coverage in The Collegian is any guide. Football coaches welcomed back bigger, stronger players “after three years with Uncle Sam,” as one reporter put it. Another reporter wrote that a theater professor “saw the light” when he discovered that “the old playhouse, veteran of two world wars and still standing, will never be the same again. ... The windows have been washed” to spruce up the place for additional faculty office space. In the Sept. 20, 1946, issue, the editorial board could not contain its glee for “a movement that is definitely under way to meet one of the greatest needs of the university ... : the organization of a 60-piece marching band.”

Not everything was quite so light-hearted. Serious traffic issues emerged, including a dangerous near-miss involving a student driver and a child at a local school. There was also a temporary textbook shortage, soon sorted out by the campus bookstore through urgent telephone calls and telegrams to weary publishers trying to meet the increased demand.

The returning men also caused a severe gender imbalance, as Richmond College’s enrollment surged to nearly three times Westhampton’s enrollment. Student perspectives varied on this aspect of campus life. The male students generally complained, but from a Westhampton columnist came this refrain: “Men, men, men around campus.” She then quoted a classmate: “You should have seen all the boys who danced with me.”

One of the most significant challenges was housing, and gender again played a role. For the men, the university repurposed some surplus army barracks from a nearby base. A faculty member greeted this solution with the suggestion that the university also make use of surplus camouflage paint to obscure the “monstrosity.” The women, meanwhile, scored construction of a new brick dormitory — today’s South Court.

One or more pranksters submitted anonymous name suggestions for the new residences. For Richmond College’s secondhand barracks: Paradise Lost. For Westhampton’s sparkling new dorm: Paradise Regained.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

The university continues to monitor prevailing health conditions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus. Vaccination rates among students, faculty, and staff are much higher than national averages, which allowed campus life to return to closer to normal at the start of the fall semester.

ERIKA “EJ” OLSON CAMPOS, ’94

Bring out the best

For most of her career, Erika Olson Campos, ’94, has been helping hospitals meet patient needs, provide quality care, and solve long-term issues through strategic planning.

With the arrival of COVID-19, everything changed. Suddenly, Campos went from preparing for the next three years to looking at the next few days or hours. She worked in the emergency operations center of Christus Health in New Mexico, leading a team that converted one wing to a closed COVID unit. She also launched a pop-up testing center in a school parking lot that later moved to a drive-through oil change center.

“While it was terrifying at times and a lot of hard work, it was good to have a purpose in a time when we all felt somewhat helpless,” she says. “It was overwhelming and heart-wrenching, but at the same time, I’ve never been prouder to be in healthcare.”

Now, Campos is back to what she does best. In March, she became president of Hospital Services Corp., which helps hospitals run more efficiently by taking on services outside of direct patient care. For instance, they help with background and credential checks for new hires and offer a portal for reviewing patient insurance coverage.

Campos is also figuring out how to manage a landscape that has completely shifted. HSC has long operated as a brick-and-mortar company, but it’s also technology-oriented and realized a remote environment has produced greater productivity and versatility. Campos is focused on developing hybrid and flexible schedules that allow for better work-life balance while still ensuring an engaged workforce. The company recently received an Albuquerque Best Place to Work Award for its efforts.

“The foundation of any good strategic plan is the talent,” she says. “I love being in charge of trying to bring out the best in people and facilitating an environment that lets people fulfill their potential.” —Kim Catley

Shaking up the system

After 20 years working in managed care and insurance, Michael Waterbury, ’95, saw firsthand the problems with the U.S. healthcare system. Now he’s on a mission to fix them.

Waterbury started RemedyOne, a company that cuts through the complexity of pharmaceutical programs, in 2015. During the years spent building up RemedyOne, he realized healthcare needs to be fixed one system at a time. He founded Goodroot in 2020 as a parent company to support other entrepreneurs who have ideas for startups that solve specific issues. It provides the finance, legal, sales and marketing services typically available in a larger corporation. Goodroot currently has four subsidiaries that reduce inefficiencies, lower prescription costs, and help small employers negotiate better contracts.

The idea arose after Waterbury grew frustrated with corporate America and felt the profit-driven market didn’t align with patient needs.

“If I’m going to make a difference, I’ve got to set my own course,” he says. “I’ve got to use what I’ve learned, the relationships I have, the ideas I have. People talk about disrupting healthcare, but we talk about reinventing healthcare one system at a time.”

Next up, Waterbury hopes to help patients — who are typically insured — resolve medical debt by reviewing bills, negotiating better prices, and looking to employers to help cover costs. He also wants to fix the issue at the source by working alongside healthcare and insurance companies.

“We can't have hospitals sending huge bills and then suing people and garnishing wages and bankrupting them,” he says. “If you go through the system, you have insurance, and you end up with massive bills and you're bankrupt, that's a failure point. We're studying that and we want those who are running these big hospitals and insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies to come to the table, find the solution, and be part of developing and implementing it.”

LAURA KEEFE DELANGE, ’04

A book lover’s dream

While it’s a tough question to answer, Laura Keefe DeLange, ’04, says her favorite book is probably Donna Tartt’s The Secret History. As such, her job as senior marketing director at Knopf, Pantheon, and Shocken — all under the Penguin Random House umbrella — had her well-positioned when a colleague shared an anecdote about working with Tartt several years back. It’s just one aspect of DeLange’s literature-oriented job that she loves.

“The history at my company is so rich,” she says. “It is exciting to work with people who knew these authors early in their careers and helped to establish them as bestselling writers.”

Her job offers a dynamic atmosphere as the publishing world evolves with the times. Take, for instance, DeLange’s use social media to promote books. “When I started working in publishing after graduation, social media didn’t really exist,” she says. “I am part of a generation in publishing that saw its implications, and I learned as it grew and spread.”

A history major at UR, DeLange was uncertain of her career path when she graduated. “It didn’t feel right to pursue my master’s or academia,” she says. “But I knew I loved books and reading, so I started looking into publishing.”

She landed her first job in the industry through a fellow Spider’s cousin and has never looked back. “I began with a small company that published a lot of history books, so my degree came in handy,” she says.

These days she spends her time seeding interest in the work of authors like Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, Toni Morrison, Emily St. John Mandel, and many others. Although DeLange didn't envision this career path for herself, it has been the perfect fit. “I get to talk about books all day,” she says. “Every new book and campaign is a chance to find a new, specific audience. It never gets boring.” —Amanda Loudin

NATHAN LEMOINE, ’06

Focused on climate change

Nate Lemoine, ’06, loved his undergraduate research so much, he’s still doing it today. Except now he’s the professor, teaching ecology at Marquette University.

Like Richmond, he explains, Marquette is also heavily focused on undergraduate education. “That’s really important to me, specifically because I had such a good experience at Richmond,” he says. “Most of what I do now is because of what I experienced as an undergrad.”

Starting out, Lemoine wanted to become a coral reef ecologist. He says the sea sponges he studied as an undergrad weren’t terribly glamorous, but he loved the work. “[That] got me into ecology and taught me how to do research — and what research even was,” he says. “I had a great time.”

His doctoral work lured him back onto dry land, but even as he’s explored different ecosystems, his motivating question has remained the same: What will happen as the climate changes?

This spring, the Ecological Society of America named Lemoine an Early Career Fellow for his contributions to his field. It’s among the highest honors a young ecologist can receive, though he’s modest about it. “I saw the other people who got the awards, and they’re all really, really good,” he says. “I can’t tell you what put me in that group as well.”

In less than two decades, he’s studied New England bays and Caribbean coral reefs, Colorado grasslands and Wisconsin prairies — and he already has plans in the works to add African savannas to his list. He’s been a champion for improving statistical analysis in ecology and laid important groundwork for predicting effects of climate change. All along the way, he’s providing undergraduate research experiences that will create the next generation of ecologists, like his professors once did for him.

Hard work up the ladder

Plenty of middle school kids want to grow up to be professional football players. Christian Parker, ’13, wanted to be an NFL coach.

Parker clearly does not mess around. After four years as a high school player — and four more with the Spiders — Parker made his trajectory switch to coaching with a remarkably fast ascent through the college ranks and then the pros. In February 2021, Parker was named defensive backs coach for the NFL’s Denver Broncos — at the age of 29.

Not bad for a guy who was a walk-on to the Richmond team in 2009. (He ended up a scholarship player.) Parker never saw a lot of action as a wide receiver, but as an aspiring tactician, he saw everything. Parker says his observations from the sideline dovetailed with his classroom experience, where he learned the Socratic method of presenting and arguing ideas.

“That’s the way that classes are run at Richmond,” he says. “I got used to speaking in front of people, formulating my own ideas, researching and defending them. I think that really prepared me for the coaching world.”

After earning his degree in political science, Parker traveled the nation by taking coaching jobs at a series of colleges. Latrell Scott, Richmond’s head football coach in 2010, mentored Parker at Virginia State and Norfolk State. Parker later moved on to positions at William & Mary, Notre Dame, and Texas A&M. In 2019, the Green Bay Packers hired him away from Texas. Two seasons later, the Broncos hired him away from the Packers.

Parker says that, as far as he knows, he’s the youngest person at his position level in the NFL. How does a guy find that kind of success?

“Well, I was always told to just keep your head where your feet are,” he says. “Do a great job, and success is going to find you.”

From São Paulo to London

Drika Bianchin, ’15, isn’t afraid of a challenge.

“My mantra is: I will either find a way or make a way, no matter what,” she says.

The former captain of the Spider women’s soccer team was recently named vice president for consulting accounts for AlphaSights, a leader in knowledge-on-demand that connects companies with industry professionals to address business challenges. She’s a member of the London-based European Leadership Team, contributing to strategy creation and new product development. Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, she moved to the U.S. at 16 to play soccer. During her time at Richmond, she was a student-athlete, a business major, and a volunteer translator at the World Pediatric Project.

It hasn’t been an easy road for her. As a student-athlete, she had two surgeries that set her back in her goals as a player.

“I’ve learned a lot about mental toughness, determination, and discipline,” she says. “I learned resiliency. My injuries taught me about overcoming obstacles and focusing on what’s within my control to bounce back from challenges.”

She uses that resiliency every day as vice president.

“I treat my career almost like a season. I know that I have good days and bad days, but I keep myself focused on my outcome and my personal growth,” she says.

After graduation, she knew she wanted a commercial-facing role where she could make an impact early in her career. Over the past six years, she has moved up the ranks from associate to vice president and helped AlphaSights rank as one of the UK’s best workplaces.

“I am proud of the team I’ve been part of these six years and our ability to scale and become a leading player in the information services industry,” she says. “At Richmond, I learned how to create a team environment where everyone feels supported and wants to achieve great things together.” —Nicole Hansen

SHIRA SMILLIE, ’18

All packed, ready to go

Like so many people, Shira Smillie, ’18, is eager to make up for more than a year of travel adventures lost to the pandemic. But the author of the Black Girl World Traveller blog advises readers to temper their expectations of what they’ll experience as countries reopen for travel.

“I’m happy to see travel reemerging,” she says. “But with curfews and quarantines and other restrictions, you aren’t going to see countries in the same way you would before. It may not be the full, authentic experience.”

Smillie credits a trip to Cuba at the conclusion of her Sophomore Scholars in Residence program for sparking her love of travel. She followed it up with a study-abroad semester in Ecuador and, after a year of saving, celebrated her graduation with an eight-week 14-country backpacking blitz through Europe. She subsequently put her Spanish degree to use, working as a translator and teacher in Murcia, Spain.

She originally launched blackgirlworldtraveller .com to help her remember her European travels, but it soon took on a larger dimension. “I started hearing from people who were inspired by it, and it slowly transitioned into an outlet for encouraging Black women to not only travel, but travel solo,” she says. Her podcasts on YouTube — featuring locales from Morocco to Trinidad to the U.S. Southwest — have bolstered her social media following.

The Philadelphia native has since written the e-book Backpacking While Black and plans to launch an agency, PennyPacker Travels, in the fall. Both are designed to help others dream, plan, and budget for their own post-pandemic travel adventures. “I want people to realize that travel can be accessible and affordable for everyone,” she says. —Kristin Baird Rattini

Pit viper (species undetermined) Subfamily Crotalinae, includes species such as rattlesnakes, lanceheads, and copperheads

Found across Eurasia and the Americas Despite all of our digital advances, examining physical specimens remains a core activity when studying the biological sciences. The specimens below are among the many housed in the Gottwald Center for the Sciences, some so old and faded that faculty don’t know precisely which species they are. Others collected by them personally.

“This material is extremely valuable,” said Rafael de Sá, professor and Clarence E. Denoon Jr. Chair in Natural Sciences. “Some of the skulls are from species that are currently threatened with extinction and for sure are no longer available to be collected.”

79 and still persuading

When then-cadet Barry Steinberg, R’63 and L’66, informed his ROTC commanding officer of his post-graduation plan to go on active duty, the answer he got was what he expected.

Steinberg had not.

Steinberg’s penchant for persuasion served him in his role creating the Army’s Environmental Law Division in the mid-1980s. Standing up a new division meant convincing the Secretary of the Army of the need for environmental legal expertise.

Pitch perfect

Music has always been a big part of Esther Jane Hardenbergh’s life. Hardenbergh, W’82, began playing the piano at 4; she also played violin, organ, and guitar at an early age.

That changed for the third-generation Spider while at UR. Disenchanted with the sciences, Hardenbergh pursued a degree in music and followed it with a master’s degree in music performance at Boston University. That led to years singing professionally in New York and Europe.

Hardenbergh retired in 2017 and now spends her time traveling with her husband, Whit, and their Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Ringo.

All those boys

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Bring out the best

For most of her career, Erika Olson Campos, ’94, has been helping hospitals meet patient needs, provide quality care, and solve long-term issues through strategic planning.

“The foundation of any good strategic plan is the talent,” she says. “I love being in charge of trying to bring out the best in people and facilitating an environment that lets people fulfill their potential.” —Kim Catley

Shaking up the system

After 20 years working in managed care and insurance, Michael Waterbury, ’95, saw firsthand the problems with the U.S. healthcare system. Now he’s on a mission to fix them.

The idea arose after Waterbury grew frustrated with corporate America and felt the profit-driven market didn’t align with patient needs.

Next up, Waterbury hopes to help patients — who are typically insured — resolve medical debt by reviewing bills, negotiating better prices, and looking to employers to help cover costs. He also wants to fix the issue at the source by working alongside healthcare and insurance companies.

A book lover’s dream

A history major at UR, DeLange was uncertain of her career path when she graduated. “It didn’t feel right to pursue my master’s or academia,” she says. “But I knew I loved books and reading, so I started looking into publishing.”

She landed her first job in the industry through a fellow Spider’s cousin and has never looked back. “I began with a small company that published a lot of history books, so my degree came in handy,” she says.

Focused on climate change

Nate Lemoine, ’06, loved his undergraduate research so much, he’s still doing it today. Except now he’s the professor, teaching ecology at Marquette University.

Like Richmond, he explains, Marquette is also heavily focused on undergraduate education. “That’s really important to me, specifically because I had such a good experience at Richmond,” he says. “Most of what I do now is because of what I experienced as an undergrad.”

Starting out, Lemoine wanted to become a coral reef ecologist. He says the sea sponges he studied as an undergrad weren’t terribly glamorous, but he loved the work. “[That] got me into ecology and taught me how to do research — and what research even was,” he says. “I had a great time.”

His doctoral work lured him back onto dry land, but even as he’s explored different ecosystems, his motivating question has remained the same: What will happen as the climate changes?

Hard work up the ladder

Plenty of middle school kids want to grow up to be professional football players. Christian Parker, ’13, wanted to be an NFL coach.

Parker says that, as far as he knows, he’s the youngest person at his position level in the NFL. How does a guy find that kind of success?
