RICHMOND, Va. — Richmond faculty, University staff, and student-athletes joined Professors Pippa Holloway (History) and Thad Williamson (Leadership Studies) for the Athletic Department's "Voting 2024: From Aspirations to Action" in Spider Hall Friday. The event, part of the the Millhiser Dialogue Series, was hosted by Spider student-athlete moderators Jacob Ellis (Cross Country) and Izzy Blaylock (Cross Country, Track & Field). Ellis and Blaylock facilitated a discussion that explored voting through both historical and contemporary lenses.
