Upcoming Sessions 

Oct. 24, 2024
An Inside Look at VCU Women's Basketball with Coach O’Boyle

Please join VCU Women’s Basketball Coach Beth O’Boyle for a wide-ranging conversation discussing a preview of the upcoming season, how VCU has navigated NIL (Name, Image and Likeness – student-athletes’ ability to use their name, image and likeness to be compensated for commercial activities) & the Transfer portal, and the elevation of women's sports throughout the nation and Virginia Commonwealth University.

Beth O’Boyle became the 13th head coach in VCU Women’s Basketball history on April 29, 2014. O’Boyle is in her 11th season overall and is the all-time wins leader at VCU, either men’s or women’s basketball, and the Rams have clinched postseason berths in six of her 10 seasons at the helm.

The Rams set a program record in 2023-24 for wins in a regular season with 26. With Coach O’Boyle at the helm, VCU won the 2021 Atlantic 10 Championship and the 2018-19 Atlantic 10 Regular Season Co-Championship, the only conference championships in program history. O’Boyle led VCU to the 2021 NCAA Tournament in what was the program’s second appearance all-time, as well as earning four total WNIT berths.

These Community Zooms are at a new time of 12:30 p.m., so grab some lunch and join us online!

Guidelines

Prior to joining a session, attendees are encouraged to check that Zoom is working properly on their computers or devices by testing it at https://zoom.us/test.

At the start of every session, attendee’s microphones will be muted. This allows everyone to hear the organizers and presenters clearly. Attendees will be invited to unmute their microphones and speak at different times during the session.

If you have questions or comments while others are speaking, you can type them in the chat.

As at physical events, attendees are asked to help make sessions inclusive of all participants by using respectful language and allowing others to speak, even if they disagree with viewpoints being expressed.

VCU Libraries reserves the right to remove attendees from sessions for disruptive behavior.

Be advised that VCU Libraries will record all sessions for its private archives but may make use of the recordings for future projects, including publicity.

For special accommodations, or to register offline, please contact Ryan Pander, event manager, rbpander@vcu.edu or 804-828-0593.
