Virginia Commonwealth University traces its roots to two institutions: the Medical College of Virginia, established in 1838 as the medical department of Hampden-Sydney College, and the Richmond Professional Institute, founded in 1917 as the Richmond School of Social Economy. In 1968, RPI and MCV merged to become VCU. A lot has changed since those early days, but through it all VCU and its predecessors have proved that making a difference — in the community, Virginia and the world — is in our genes. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate VCU’s 175th anniversary and look forward to the future.

Dear Class of 2013:

Virginia Commonwealth University is a national research univer- sity with a mission focused on people. Research that helps people. Care that heals people. Teaching that empowers people. Service that embraces people.

Our greatest successes, then, are the successes of our people, includ- ing the 2,000 of you who are earning your degree today. You are graduating from one of America’s great public research universities. As such, your educational experience has been about more than completing your courses and receiving a grade. It has been about using your knowledge to solve real problems that will make a real difference in the real world. It has been about becoming leaders in your academic disciplines and in your communities. It has been about innovating, transforming and creating opportunities for yourself and others.

You are part of a rich legacy at VCU. Throughout the year, we have celebrated together the 175th anniversary of our founding. In 1838, we were the medical department of a small college. Today, in 2013, we are one of the nation’s premier public comprehensive research institutions, focused on advancing the human experience. In celebrating our heritage, we are really looking toward a collective future that is unimaginable in its possibilities.

It is the same for you. As you graduate from VCU, always remember that your opportunities are boundless because your potential is limitless.

Abroad, John B. Fenn, Ph.D., may best be remembered for having earned a Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2002. At Virginia Commonwealth University, however, Dr. Fenn’s colleagues remember him for his dedication, enthusiasm and accessibility, and his students remember him for infusing joy into his teaching and challenging them to think, rather than take notes and memorize.

Virginia Commonwealth University traces its roots to two institutions: the Medical College of Virginia, established in 1838 as the medical department of Hampden-Sydney College, and the Richmond Professional Institute, founded in 1917 as the Richmond School of Social Economy. In 1968, RPI and MCV merged to become VCU. A lot has changed since those early days, but through it all VCU and its predecessors have proved that making a difference — in the community, Virginia and the world — is in our genes. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate VCU’s 175th anniversary and look forward to the future.
