We'd love to consider your nomination of talented, high-achieving seniors to attend the University of Richmond'sMulticultural Overnight Visit Experience (MOVE) from Saturday, October 19 to Sunday, October 20, 2019. While this program is open to all students interested in diversity and inclusion experiences, students from traditionally underrepresented or underserved backgrounds will be prioritized in the selection process.
Eligible students and their families will have the opportunity to experience the cultural diversity of Richmond, while getting a full perspective of life as a potential student. Participants will join panel discussions with faculty and students, attend mock classes with professors, and benefit from the insight of our Admission Counselors through application workshops. Attendees will also be matched with a current Richmond student, who will serve as their overnight host on Saturday evening. Students will engage in additional programming on Sunday, October 20, before departing campus.
MOVE is designed to further our mission to cultivate a diverse, inclusive community of scholars committed to academic excellence. We encourage you to review the profile for our impressive, diverse, and talented class here. Please consider sharing this short interest form with students who meet the criteria below:
- High school senior
- Self-identify as a member of a historically underrepresented population (African American, Asian American, biracial/multiracial, Latino/a, Native American, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander) -OR- is interested in issues of diversity and inclusion
- Has at least a 3.6 cumulative GPA
- Has at least a 1280 SAT score (combined Evidence Based Reading & Writing and Math) -OR- 28 ACT composite score

Thank you for your assistance, and we look forward to welcoming your students to campus!
