Below you will find answers to many common questions about Highlander Giving Day.
What is Highlander Giving Day?
Beginning at 8:00 a.m. EST on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, the Radford University community comes together for 1 day, 9 hours and 10 minutes (in honor of our university’s founding in 1910) to provide immediate-use dollars that support student-centered funds and programs across campus. During this initiative, the goal is to bring together as many possible members of the Radford University community to support important funds that make our students feel supported and included in their educational experiences, help them build and maintain their own communities and become the best versions of themselves.
