EING A SPIDER IS A WAY OF THINKING
about the world, a camaraderie in a remark- able community, and an outlook about what matters and what's possible. What it means to be a Spider hasn't changed over the last 125 years, but the ways to be a Spider have grown. Today's Spiders come from, study, and live around the world. They're still immersed in a challeng- ing liberal arts education, but the ways they can use it to explore keep growing. In 1970, students had about two dozen majors to choose among. Today's students have 62. The pages that follow offer a comprehensive survey that covers the generational spans, geographic range, and aca- demic interests of Spiders today. We also highlight some Spiders' stories of legacy and love, of academic accomplish- ment, friendships, and leadership. You'll recognize yourself in some of the specific data and be able to situate yourself in all of it. Spiders may be diverse in interest, but we are united by a common bond that develops at this place and then tran- scends it.
DON'T BELIEVE THE MAPS. THE UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND IS MUCH MORE THAN A PLACE. LIKEWISE, THE SPIDER IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST A MASCOT.
