🕷️ ONE BIG THING

Spiders Abroad. A group of student-athletes hopped on a plane to Greece to explore religious traditions, history and culture in both the ancient world and the present. The Office of the Chaplaincy partnered with Richmond Athletics for this Global Leadership Immersion. The attendees are updating us through daily recaps of their journeys, which you can find on our website. 🇬🇷 Read more about their travels here.
