RSS (Really Simple Syndication) Feeds
By subscribing to the University of Richmond's RSS feed, you will automatically receive official campus news to scan at your convenience.
RSS is a Web-based technology that gathers news and other information from Web sites you select and compiles it for you in a single location. Instead of searching multiple sites for the information you need, you may now "subscribe" to a site's RSS feed and let the information come to you. RSS maintains an automatically updated list of the information you want, from as many or as few sites as you select. All you will need to get started is an Internet connection and an RSS reader.
Think of RSS as a type of e-mail account that, instead of delivering messages, delivers news headlines and feature titles that you may scan and click to learn more.
