Meet a Highlander
I feel at home at Radford University after meeting great friends and getting out of my comfort zone.
All of the organizations I have been involved in have enhanced my self-esteem and given me a spirit of dedication. I feel humble to be involved and to have met people that I will have lifelong friendships with. Through my participation I can say that I have truly learned what is important to me, and become a better person from these experiences."
