Dear VCU community,

Along with other institutions of higher education, VCU is monitoring federal executive orders and communications issued by the White House and other federal agencies.  We continue to seek guidance on multiple fronts, and are working closely with peer institutions and national associations.

A team of university leaders, led by the provost, is overseeing our review regarding impacts that changes may have on VCU.  We will communicate information about verified impacts to the university as they become known.

VCU is steadfast in its commitment to its education, research and health care mission to positively impact the lives of all people.

Sincerely,

Michael Rao, President
Fotis Sotiropoulos, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
Marlon Levy, Senior Vice President for Health Sciences and CEO of VCU Health
Meredith Weiss, Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer
