RADFORD – Radford University’s Office of University Relations received a 2007 Special Merit Award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, District III, for an interactive CD-ROM produced for RU’s College of Education and Human Development.

“How Many Ways Can You Change the World?” is intended for use by young people who are considering career and college possibilities.
