Radford University students, faculty and staff will have three volunteer opportunities to help the university community over two days this week during the eighth annual Radford Gives Back. Highlanders are encouraged to participate in this Radford University tradition by donating, collecting and/or packing food items.  

Every two weeks, Highlander Highlights shares with readers some of the extraordinary research and accomplishments happening on and off campus through the tireless work and curiosity of our students and faculty.

The annual job fair, held by the Davis College of Business and Economics, marked its 17^th anniversary with the Sept. 14 event. More than 60 students met with about two dozen companies across a wide range of specialties. 

For two decades, Robert Warren worked as a special agent for the Internal Revenue Service, investigating tax evasion, money laundering and other crimes. Since his retirement in 2016, he’s brought that expertise to the classroom, as an instructor of auditing and accounting, and to the journals that publish his many articles. 

Author and former Radford University instructor of English Jim Minick, M.A. ’91, is returning to campus this month to talk about his latest book, “Without Warning: The Tornado of Udall, Kansas.”
