Has anyone heard of any COVID outbreaks on campus? There have been significant outbreaks on every other campus in Virginia, including JMU, UVA and VT.

There's a dashboard for tracking it. They've had a small number of cases, none active at the moment.

It looks like infections have been relatively mild. https://www.richmond.edu/coronavirus/dashboard/index.html
The expected imact of Covid-19 on University Students is nothing. Statistically, a U of R student is more likely to die of the Flu than Covid.
We have intelligent students that know that they need to follow the guidelines, That’s important.
Although they've apparently given out around 150 citations to students, including a few suspensions.
Still, a small, relatively self-contained university with strong financial resources is in about the best position to keep a handle on things.
On another note, UVA has an on campus waste-water testing center. It can test and track the waste water and fecal matter of every dorm on campus. When the waste water shows a positive result, the everyone in entire dorm gets tested. They discovered that 5 girls out of 200 tested positive. Everyone, including my daughter, who came in contact with any of those 5 are being quarantined for 14 days. What a nightmare.
Yeah, I think a bunch of colleges are doing this. Instead of wasting money sending kids to college to major in pointless things like art history, business, coding or pre-law, just send them to the local Public Utilities department to apply for work as feces analyzers. I think they'll be in high demand for awhile.
