Established in 2024 and located in Hemphill Hall, the School of Writing, Language
and Literature (SWLL) houses Radford University's Department of English and Department
of Foreign Languages and Literatures.
SWLL unites these academic disciplines under a unified vision for language and literary
studies. This interdisciplinary approach strengthens the university's mission, while
creating opportunities for innovation, collaboration and student success.
Built on a shared commitment to transformative education, SWLL prepares students to
thrive in a diverse, interconnected world by fostering critical thinking, global awareness
and the study and mastery of language.
