Highlander Giving Day 2025
Thank you Highlanders!

The most successful journeys are not taken alone. Highlanders know that!

It's why the Radford University community comes together for 1 day, 9 hours and 10 minutes (in honor of our university's 1910 founding). Highlander Giving Day supports our students on their journeys of personal and academic exploration and growth.

Thank you for demonstrating to our students the strong community supporting them!

REASONS THE HIGHLANDER COMMUNITY GIVES - IN THEIR OWN WORDS:

 

“I joyously give because I’m so proud to see the momentum behind Radford’s growth and the excellent opportunities it provides to students in Virginia and especially their outreach and efforts in their local communities. Radford gave me so much and I am privileged to give to future Radford alumni!”

 – Alumnus ‘93


“I’m a proud member of the CHBS Advisory Board, and I believe deeply in investing in our students. The STARS program is an outstanding way to open doors for students by creating opportunities for growth they might not have otherwise had. Supporting them today felt like the natural extension of that commitment.”

– Alumna ‘00


“It's important to give back, and I benefited from scholarships while at Radford University.” 

– Alumna ‘06


“Radford University gave me the foundation and opened doors for me that shaped my life and career. My daughter is a current freshman and I want her to have all the same opportunities as me - scholarships, hands on learning, or support for essential programs.”  

– Alumna ‘93


“I loved my time at Radford. Met 4 of my best friends there and it’s been over 40 years! Hope other students get to find their voice there.” 

– Alumna ‘84


“Met my wife at Radford 45 years of marriage and counting.” 

– Alumnus '80
