Radford University has released its 2022 Economic Impact Study. The independent study found that the total economic impact of Radford University on the Commonwealth of Virginia was a staggering $421.7 million in FY2022, with $390 million occurring regionally.

This impact was derived from direct expenditures for goods and services by the university, its faculty, staff, students and visitors, along with the indirect and induced impacts of those dollars being re-spent in the state and regional economies.

The Radford University Division of Economic Development and Corporate Education contracted with the New River Valley Regional Commission to produce the 2022 Economic Impact Study.

Mark your calendars to celebrate National Women’s History Month in March 2024 with the Radford University Women’s and Gender Studies Program. The theme will be “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.”

All Radford University faculty and staff are invited to celebrate with the program during a two-day celebration from March 21-22, 2024, which will feature enlightening presentations, creative works and informative posters along with other engaging activities. Watch for a call for proposals in January 2024.

The Office of University Advancement hosted the second annual Day of Gratitude on Friday, Nov. 3, with three events honoring some of Radford’s most generous donors.

These events would not be possible without support from many faculty and staff across the university. Many thanks to everyone who helped ensure this day was a success. Please enjoy this video recapping the day!

The Radford University Women’s and Gender Studies Program is honored to announce the call for nominations for the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award.

The program will honor an individual whose work significantly impacted the Women’s and Gender Studies program at Radford University, the broader field of women’s and gender studies or the advocacy for women’s rights and social justice within the Radford community.

All faculty and staff are encouraged to submit a nomination as well as self-nominate via the link below. Nominations are due by Friday, Feb. 16, 2024. The honoree will be recognized at the Women’s History Month Celebration event in March 2024. 

In accordance with the posting policy, the designated general use bulletin boards and community bulletin boards will be cleaned over the break and all remaining flyers will be removed.

The community bulletin boards are in “The Bonnie” Hurlburt Student Center and the Highlander House. The general use boards are in Dalton Hall, the university post office, Peters Hall, “The Bonnie” Hurlburt Student Center and Heth Hall. Affiliated entities are welcome to hang new flyers beginning Jan. 2, 2024.
