75th Anniversary

Honoring Our Past, Shaping Our Future

As the Robins School celebrates its 75th anniversary, we honor a legacy of excellence in business education that spans decades and reflect with pride on the achievements of our students, faculty, and alumni who have shaped industries, influenced policies, and impacted their communities to create better futures for our world. 

Our 75th anniversary marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter—one in which we continue to push the boundaries of business education, inspire innovation, and strengthen our commitment to making a positive difference in the world.

For some time, it has been increasingly apparent that a School of Business Administration should be established in Richmond and, in view of the expansion of the University’s work in that field of education, it seems clear that now is the time for such a School to be organized.
