Highlander Days are held every spring for admitted freshmen and transfer students
at 福利导在线观看. This year, the number of students and guests registered for
the three events brought nearly 3,000 people to the Radford and Roanoke locations
鈥� the largest group in university history.
鈥淲e are starting to see a surge in interest in programs across the university that
include nursing, business, cybersecurity, education and criminal justice,鈥� said Vice
President of Enrollment Management and Strategic Communications Dannette Gomez Beane.
鈥淭hese are in-demand fields that guarantee job placement, which is important for these
students.鈥�
Most of the participants were Virginia residents. With the recently announced Radford
Tuition Promise program, qualified families are hoping to benefit from the institutional
commitment to cover 100% of tuition costs. Due to FAFSA delays, these families are
still waiting for final confirmation of their eligibility.
Even without the assurance of aid packages, admitted students are confident that Radford
will provide substantial financial support for a higher education college option.
Fewer students are choosing virtual degrees and instead are choosing the more traditional
campus experience that Radford offers at an affordable tuition rate, among the lowest
in the state.
Students who attended a Highlander Day felt reassured with their decision to choose
Radford; as prospective student Stella Fredrick shared, 鈥淕reat enthusiastic energy
on campus, and I could tell it was genuine.鈥�
This year, the university plans to change its enrollment trajectory from declining
to growing, with an incoming class that is larger than last year. The admissions process
and financial aid awarding continues through June 1.
