Radford University shines because of the employees. Every year dedicated faculty and staff members show their commitment to the students and this institution by participating in the Faculty and Staff Campaign. This year’s campaign is called the Circle of Giving.

The Circle of Giving is a way you can celebrate an area of RU that you are enthusiastic about, such as Highlander athletics, Arts Society, your own department or college, the students, scholarships or anything else that you feel is important. Your gift combined with others who share your interest can make a difference and come back to you full circle. For example, in 1986, the Physical Plant employees created the Physical Plant Scholarship for the dependents of their employees. This scholarship, renamed the Facilities Management Scholarship, has grown into one of the largest endowments on campus and 46 students have benefited from this effort. Following their lead, the Staff Senate established a scholarship to benefit their dependents. The first award was given in 2003.
