Faces of Franklin Street

The people of the Virginia Commonwealth University College of Humanities and Sciences are constantly challenging our understanding of the world we live in, the history we come from and the future we’re facing. We see the potential in the next generation and support their growth and ideas. We believe in serving the community we live in, both locally and globally.

Every person in the College has a story to tell — about innovative research, life at the university and maintaining a connection with the College, and partnering with members of the community. In classrooms, offices and labs along Franklin Street, across campus and throughout the world, we’re fostering creative thought and encouraging new discoveries every day.

In Faces of Franklin Street, we want those stories to be told. Visit often to learn more about our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends.
