In February of 2001 The Friends of the Richard Bland College Library commissioned Parks Pegram Duffey III to paint the Richard Bland College campus.  For eight months Mr. Duffey visited the campus, solicited input from faculty and staff, and worked on a canvas that evolved into a painting that includes architectural renderings of buildings, whimsical remembrances of people and events, and an overall lovely depiction of the campus. 

Graduates whose family and/or friends have contributed a minimum of $30 to the RBC Library's Graduate Books program will be eligible to pick up a complimentary 27.5" x 22" Parks Duffey print of the campus.
