This is a time of year when we come together, celebrating each other and the joy of the holiday season.

The past year has been a strong one – Virginia Commonwealth University and VCU Health are reaching great heights as a public research university and academic health system, doing work that preserves and restores health for all people of Virginia and beyond through innovation in service, research, and education. That is only possible because of all of you who make our community VCU. We look forward to another great year to come.

Now we invite you to celebrate with us, remembering that sometimes, the greatest joys are the ones we were not expecting.
