“More than anything else, Summit for the University of Richmond crew is about inspiration. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in Alexander’s feature reveals, or in the sessions I attend, or reconnecting with friends in the Slate community. We always return to campus brimming with more ideas than we could implement in several years... and we always bring a big group back the next year to make the list even longer.”
— Tom Nicholas, Director of Enrollment and Student CRM Systems at the University of Richmond
