Students at a rallyOf course you’ve come to VCU to study and learn but when you’re ready for a break, you’ll find plenty to do on and off campus. GEO sponsors excursions and activities, and Richmond’s central location allows for effortless trips to spectacular areas. You may choose to travel by plane, train or bus to most any destination, but don’t forget that the university offers a full calendar of events year round.

International coffee hour

Students, staff and community visitors gather on Wednesdays from 12:30 to 2 p.m. twice a month in the University Student Commons, Commonwealth Ballroom B*, for a time of socializing and refreshments. It’s a time for students to meet and develop friendships with classmates and Americans in a casual setting. Everyone is welcome at this weekly event.

This is an opportunity for international and American students to relax with friends, enjoy ethnic and American foods, contribute ideas and discuss upcoming semester activities.

*Coffee hour may also be held in the University Student Commons Richmond Salons or Virginia Rooms. Signs will be posted at the top of the center staircase for the week’s location.
