Very excited for honors senior Health Sciences major Jayden Zimmerman to be part of the newly launched CARES mobile clinic. Jayden will not only contribute to mission of the program, but also complete her honors capstone project under the supervision of Dr. Sallie Beth Johnson. Scholarly impact for the community!

If it's a new semester, then Dr. Bradbury's class must find the Radford Lucky Penny! She is teaching HNRS 310: Silk Road, which is an interdisciplinary exploration of art, economics, geography, and history. It's going to be a great semester for these students!

Excited to welcome over 130 new freshmen to the Honors College. Today was First-Year Honors Retreat where students had different small group adventures around the Roanoke and New River Valleys with faculty and student leaders. This group competed in the Great Honors Bake-Off, explored the green house, saw Peaches the tarantula, and took home their own emotional support plant. Check out those winning scones!
