With more than $136 million in annual research funding, VCU is ranked by the Carnegie Foundation as one of the nation’s top research universities and is one of only three such universities in Virginia. More than 25,000 undergraduate, graduate, professional and doctoral students pursue 162 degree and certificate programs at the university’s Academic and Medical College of Virginia Campuses in downtown Richmond. Forty of the university’s programs are unique in Virginia. In addition, 16 graduate and professional programs have been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as among the best of their kind in the nation. Twelve of these programs are ranked in the top 20. As part of a long-range strategic plan, VCU has been enhancing the university’s stature as one of the nation’s leading research universities. Strategic projects have included establishing a new School of Engineering, which has been an important factor in attracting the microelectronics industry to the state, and VCU Life Sciences, a comprehensive undergraduate and graduate program involving the academic and medical faculty. VCU Life Sciences has spurred a major national public-education initiative in the new public television series, “Secrets of the Sequence.” In collaboration with Harvard University, the University of California- San Francisco, the University of Michigan, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the Medical Research Council/Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, VCU is advising the program’s producers on the latest life sciences discoveries and their ethical implications. The university also is developing the Virginia Biotechnology Research Park in collaboration with business, civic and government leaders. When it is fully developed, the research park will cover 34 acres in down- town Richmond and employ an estimated 3,000 professional and technical personnel. The VCU Health System is one of the most comprehensive in the nation. Its physician-faculty, facilities and medical-care programs receive annual recognition from local, regional and national guides and reports on the best health care. VCU is an extraordinary institution, and we are proud that you are part of the excitement here. Best wishes with your graduate and professional programs of study. Sincerely, Eugene P.

    Media Contact: Windy Campbell (804) 314-0205 The Hull Foundation Establishes Scholarship at VCU Brandcenter Endowed scholarship to benefit student demonstrating strong interest in entrepreneurism Richmond, VA (June 11, 2018) –The Hull Foundation has established a multi-year, endowed scholarship to VCU Brandcenter, a two-year, graduate program in brand marketing and advertising. Beginning with the 2018-2019 school year, VCU Brandcenter annually will award the Hull Foundation Endowed Scholarship to a VCU Brandcenter student demonstrating a keen interest in entrepreneurship. The Hull Foundation Endowed Scholarship is the first scholarship of VCU Brandcenter specific to entrepreneurism. “VCU Brandcenter is a hot-bed for innovation where young people are using their creativity to identify new solutions for businesses and brands,” said Pat Hull, a serial entrepreneur, investor and founder of The Hull Foundation. “I hope to use this scholarship not only to provide financial support to deserving students, but also to personally guide them during a critical time of their exploration into creativity and entrepreneurism.” A selection committee from the VCU Brandcenter and VCU School of Business will begin accepting applications for The Hull Foundation Endowed Scholarship in August 2018. Applicants can be first- or second-year Brandcenter students demonstrating a keen interest in business start- ups and desire to pursue entrepreneurism. “We are honored that Pat Hull, a globally known entrepreneur and philanthropist, is investing in VCU Brandcenter, a national leader in innovation,” said Helayne Spivak, executive director, VCU Brandcenter. “Over the past five years, we’ve seen an increasing number of students expressing interest in starting their own enterprises, rather than joining a company after graduating.
