Experts Guide
University Communications has created this guide to help reporters and editors find faculty experts to comment on current issues, serve as feature subjects, and write guest essays and op-ed columns. These professors may be contacted directly by telephone or e-mail.
Almost 300 full-time professors teach at the University of Richmond, a private, liberal arts university in Virginia's capital city. About 97 percent of the faculty members hold doctoral degrees. Several are considered national as well as international leaders in their disciplines.
