Highlander Family Tour

Highlander Family Tour

Finding inspiration to flourish is simple within the Radford family. Helping alumni make those connections was the influence behind the Highlander Family Tour, a more than 2,000-mile, eight-city trek along portions of the East Coast led by President Brian O. Hemphill, Ph.D., and First Lady Marisela Rosas Hemphill, Ph.D.

The tour launched in Bristol, Virginia, where Hemphill welcomed a crowd of devoted Highlander alumni, friends and family by addressing milestones and goals for the future.

Research Rookies no longer

Research Rookies

Launched in Fall 2018, Research Rookies paired students with faculty mentors to conduct a yearlong research project based on their research interests.

President Brian O. Hemphill, Ph.D., first introduced the bold initiative during his inaugural State of the University address in October 2017. He envisioned the program as an avenue for “maximizing opportunities for research-based engagement and learning.”

President Hemphill announced that funding of up to $4,000 would be provided to each Highlander Research Rookie for the full year based on the number of hours devoted to research-based work in order to assist with educational expenses and other related costs.
