Build It! Members
of the Faculty and Staff of the School of Continuing
Studies participated in the University of Richmond’s
Build It! Program in partnership with the Student
Activities office and the Metro Richmond Habitat for
Humanity. This program helped to build two houses
and give extreme makeovers to three schools in the
district. We worked hard and had a great time for
a terrific cause. See our pictures below!

Studies program, served as the Prosecutor in the
nation’s first felony prosecution for illegal
spamming. Jeremy Jaynes was convicted in November
for using false Internet addresses to send mass e-mail
