Today I toured a campus in the best way possible, led by my own student, Kirby. There is no substitute for seeing a college or university through a student’s eyes. I can tell you I was extremely impressed, and not just by the charming campus in Historical Charleston!
Full Story »Travels with Tam: University of Richmond
The University of Richmond absolutely “wow-ed” me. I didn’t expect it to be as beautiful as it is. The campus is in Richmond, but it feels like it is next door to Monticello with rolling hills and a body of water. Ah, and the ducks and geese!

It is beautiful there, and I have family in Paris. My brother went to UK, my cousin went to UK, and when my cousin’s husband was in a terrible car accident UK air flighted him to their trauma center and saved his life. Plus the UK Wildcats Basketball program has been a dynamo for years.
