We are also very pleased that Stewart Munro (Class of 2001) has decided to once again join the Collegians Committee after resigning in 2020.
The Association is committed to three core pillars of focus, including social and community awareness, business and career opportunities, and giving back. These pillars guide the Radford Collegians in success and growth. The Association organises reunions and mentoring programs, supports college functions and funds select community outreach programs.
Three core pillars of focus:
Community and social
Staying connected and proactive is a priority for the Radford Collegians. There are numerous community initiatives taking place throughout the year including foundation days, reunions, social events and sharing frequent news and updates.
Business and career
Becoming a Radford Collegian provides individuals with greater opportunity, choice and flexibility in the working world. This is available through member and networking events, tutoring and mentoring, referral programs and access to scholarships in a range of professions.
Giving back
Becoming a Radford Collegian is a great way to give back to the school and community. Opportunities lie in sponsorship, fundraising grants, award programs and student mentoring.
Here we go, 2022!
