The Richmond Endeavor
The Richmond Endeavor is the University of Richmond’s premiere living-learning experience for first-year students. Endeavor is designed for students to create meaningful bonds and friendships with their fellow classmates, develop a relationship with a faculty member during their first year at Richmond, and connect their interests both inside and outside of the classroom.

Sophomore Scholars in Residence
The Sophomore Scholars in Residence program (commonly called SSIR) combines a traditional academic course with co-curricular learning activities throughout a student’s entire sophomore year. A signature element of SSIR classes are fully-funded short-term trips that directly connect to what students are studying. Students spend their spring semester working on a collaborative group project connecting their travels and classroom experiences.
