Sarah Richards has certainly left her mark on the Arts at VWU and the greater Virginia Beach community during her time on campus. She shared, "My favorite part about being an Art major at VWU is the local arts community; we are in a prime area in between 2 arts districts, NEON and ViBe, with ample opportunities!" We are looking forward to continuing to celebrate Sarah's accomplishments during graduate school and beyond. Congratulations, Sarah!
