"Promoting the well-being of the Radford University Black community..." 
Sponsored by the Partnership for Academic Development and ABP
During the AAFSA/PAD Banquets, students are recognized for their efforts during the year. AAFSA also awards up to two students with an AAFSA Scholarship based on essays written and submitted with the scholarship application. The banquet provides time for AAFSA and the Partnership for Academic Development (PAD) members to socialize (see photo gallery). In years past, entertainment has been provided by community members as well as RU students. Annually, AAFSA and PAD use this opportunity recognize former RU colleagues and Alumni for their accomplishments.
