Hundreds of Highlanders and community members gathered on the Center for the Sciences patio and parking lot in hopes of catching a glimpse of the rare solar eclipse on April 8.

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. 

On Tuesday, April 9, Radford University’s Performance Series will host one of the most unique and interesting acts to ever grace the Bondurant Auditorium stage.

When it comes to getting involved and helping others, Yajuwamungu Bora, a junior at Radford University, has set an example as a role model through his work engaging and uplifting his peers.

Radford University welcomed back one of its own, Marty Smith ’98, for a special production on March 23. Smith, now a prominent figure on ESPN, hosted a three-hour show called “Marty & McGee,” which was broadcast live from the School of Communication TV studio.

For their packaging, logos, labels, posters and branding designs, Radford University students took home more awards than any other competing college or university.
