John Cotton Richmond (’93), was nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate to fight human trafficking in October 2018. “Under Richmond’s leadership, the TIP office helps coordinate U.S. inter-agency efforts at home and leads diplomatic efforts around the globe aimed at ending the enslavement of an estimated 24.9 million people.”
Richmond graduated from UMW majoring in political science and geography and has faced many experiences since then. Learn more about his story on UMW’s magazine article: Alumnus Fights to End Human Trafficking.
