About the Commons
The Commons is the heart of the VCU community. We help students grow and learn by:
- Teaching students leadership skills and social responsibility through firsthand experiences and workshops.
- Advocating for inclusivity and equity, fostering respect and affirming the identities of all individuals.
- Providing gathering spaces that encourage students to interact with one another and the VCU community, helping them build meaningful relationships in the process.
- Operating as a student-centered organization that engages in shared decision making and holistic development through employment and involvement.
Through programs and events, clubs and organizations, and the use of gathering spaces, The Commons enhances the VCU experience, creating an impact that lasts well beyond graduation.
