College is a big milestone—not just for students, but for the people cheering them on every step of the way! 🎉

We asked families at Quest what they would write in a note for their student to read on the first day of classes, and their answers did not disappoint. 📝

A special thank you to the parents and supporters who shared their encouragement and words of wisdom with us! ❤️

🍽️ One thing to check off this week: Review your meal plan!

Main Campus residential students are automatically assigned the Highlander Residential Plan, but if you’d like to make a change, you can do so through OneCampus through August 18 or by contacting the ONE Card Office until September 3.

Commuter students aren’t required to have a meal plan, but can purchase one at any point during the semester. 😋

Questions? Reach out to the ONE Card Office at [email protected] or visit their office in Heth Hall. 💙 https://www.radford.edu/one-card/meal-plans/index.html
