IMPACT launch

Dr. Kenna Colley, dean of College of Education and Human Development served as master of ceremony for the launch of IMPACT, an innovative new competency-based education (CBE) program that will position the university as a national leader in training working professionals for high-demand occupations.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe joined local, regional and state government representatives, as well as Radford University Board of Visitors members and President Hemphill, IMPACT Executive Director Matt Dunleavy and other university administrators to introduce the ambitious endeavor to more than 550 guests at the IMPACT launch event.

IMPACT’s current partners range from public and private companies and government localities to companies founded and owned by Radford University’s accomplished alumni. Globally, IMPACT has signed partnerships with Ennoble First, NC4 and ManTech. Partnerships will continue to grow as IMPACT advances.
