Radford University is awaiting additional details from the City of Radford Police Department. Once an all clear is received, a follow-up campus alert will be distributed.
Once standing 90 feet tall, our award-winning White Basswood tree was an iconic part of campus. Sadly, Mother Nature had other plans and it collapsed during a severe thunderstorm earlier this week. Today we marvel at the beauty it brought for many so years.

Opening early is another way in which Radford University is placing the health, safety, and well-being of students, faculty, and staff first and foremost, while remaining committed to our important mission and critical work.
15 RU students charged as result of city police investigation. Alleged activity is not reflective of our university. RU will hold all found in violation of Standards of Student Conduct fully accountable.
It’s National Video Game Day and our Esports Center, a place for gamers to meet and compete, is opening this summer in Cook Hall! The center will house state-of-the-art technology for gamers across campus. 🎮
Alghamdi is the first Radford University student to be accepted into New York Fashion Week and is the first designer from Saudi Arabia to be accepted into the prestigious event.
To all of our new and returning Highlanders, welcome to the fall 2020 academic year! Campus may look different, but together, we will make it a great semester!
