Creating broad awareness about our university events is one of the best ways to boost engagement among students, employees and community members. Summer is a great time to consider all the events your team will be hosting through the fall semester – and submit those events to be added to the website calendar.

Go to the Events at Radford University webpage and click the red “Submit an Event” button in the top right corner of the page to complete the form. You can also bookmark the events submission form for future use. If you have any questions about how to submit events, e-mail Marketing and Communication. 

Year-End Encumbrance Review
Please review your open encumbrance report to ensure the accuracy of each order encumbrance, as this will impact the next fiscal year’s budget. Use the following guidelines to determine the appropriate actions.

All encumbrance adjustments must be completed by Thursday, June 27, at 5 p.m.

eVA Year End
Please stop using eVA by 4 p.m. on Friday, June 28, to allow for fiscal year-end processing in Banner. Do not submit or approve any requisitions or purchase orders in eVA after this time.

You will receive an email when normal operations resume on Monday morning, July 1. At that time, the 2025 fiscal year will be the default year for all new requisitions.

If you have any questions, please contact Sharon Proffitt, e-procurement specialist, or Hunter Malcom, procurement administration support, for additional information.

As we transition into a new copier contract, please keep in mind that we recycle all e-waste, including toner cartridges, batteries, electronics, etc. Throwing your toner cartridges, batteries or other e-waste items in the trash causes the release of harmful chemicals into the environment.

If you have questions, please contact Aysha Bodenhamer, sustainability manager. If you would like to schedule a pickup of these items, contact Neal Thompson, recycling coordinator.

Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean things slow down in the New River Valley and the Roanoke Valley. In fact, this summer will be hopping on both main campus and at Radford University Carilion (RUC) in Roanoke. Below are some of the events happening in July.
