Career Services

Every Spider. Every story. Every future.

We equip Spiders to navigate change, act with purpose, and build careers that reflect their interests,
identities, and visions for the future.

Rooted in Richmond’s rigorous tradition in the liberal arts and sciences, our approach is personal,
ambitious, fueled by curiosity, and centered on inclusivity. We start by honoring the diverse strengths and
stories that students bring to our campus community. Then we help them grow these gifts, explore new
directions, develop additional talents, and forge valuable connections. Our team expands horizons—
locally and globally. No matter how the world changes, Spiders will feel empowered and confident when
they choose their next opportunities.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Guaranteed internship and research funding
  • An unshakeable commitment to belonging, inclusion, and well-being
  • Career development woven throughout students’ educational experiences
  • Global and civic awareness
  • Continuous interrogation of emerging trends in the world of work
  • World-class alumni and employer networks for all
  • Definitions of success that include purpose, joy, and lifelong growth
