VCU Traditions

There's a lot to be proud of here at Virginia Commonwealth University, and you can see it and feel around campus, around town and beyond. Sure, we're a young university in the big scheme of things, having been formed in 1968 as a result of the merger between the Richmond Professional Institute and the Medical College of Virginia. But since then, weve risen to national and international prominence, because of our world-class facilities, distinguished faculty, diverse student body and proven success in preparing its forward-thinking students for the ever-changing climate and demands of the new world.

Virginia Commonwealth University and NBC-12 teamed up to create the series called "It's VCU" to showcase this urban university, located in the heart of Richmond. VCUs diverse students, faculty and programs, superior teaching, steady growth and groundbreaking research are shaping Richmond, the state and the region.
