No Ram faces challenges alone. We’ve put together resources and support services to help our VCU alumni who have been furloughed during the current shutdown.

With roughly 750,000 government workers furloughed during the government shutdown, Virginia Commonwealth University’s (VCU) Office of Alumni Relations has created a webpage compiling resources available to affected alumni.

Come and join if you can!

Join the VCU Business Alumni Society for a meaningful evening where alumni and students come together for an engaging Etiquette Dinner. This special event is designed to help School of Business students put their learning into practice—with your guidance.

Featuring etiquette expert Toya Corbett, Ph.D., the evening will cover essential dining etiquette, professional conduct, and networking skills in a formal setting. As an alum, your presence will provide students with valuable real-world insights and the opportunity to practice professional interactions in a supportive environment.

Whether you're looking to give back, reconnect with fellow Rams, or help shape the future of VCU Business, we invite you to be part of this impactful experience.

Open to all School of Business students and alumni. Business attire recommended.
