Years of Excellence

During the 2012-2013 academic year, SPCS is celebrating its 50th year of meeting the educational needs of adult and non-traditional learners in the Richmond area. We opened as University College on the corner of Lombardy and Grace, where we started serving Richmond’s part-time and evening educational needs. We moved to the University of Richmond campus in the 1970s, and we renamed ourselves the School of Continuing Studies in 1995. We’re celebrating this milestone the entire year. In August we finalized our renaming process, becoming officially the School of Professional and Continuing Studies. In September we spent an entire week celebrating with events and activities. In November we’ll host the Hays and Margaret Crimmel Colloquium. We’ll culminate the celebratory year in May, when we’ll honor and graduate our first class of students from the renamed SPCS. We hope you’ll visit spcs.richmond.edu/50 to learn more about the upcoming celebration!
