Dear Fellow Highlander,
William Penn once said, "I expect to pass through this life but once, therefore, if there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again."
As a spokesperson for all of the scholarship recipients, I would like to express my gratitude for all of those who have contributed so much to this university. As a result of your dedication to the success of this university, students are being prepared to better meet the demands of an ever-changing world. You have given us an opportunity to form a solid foundation, which we can build upon as we emerge successfully into our professions.
Because of your contributions, Radford University has offered us a chance to learn and grow in new and exciting ways. To give you an example of just how much RU has offered, I want to share with you a taste of my experiences here.
Since coming to RU, I have had incredible opportunities. I have set foot on the Great Wall of China, represented RU as part of a student delegation to the State Legislature, worked closely with new students through our orientation program and University 100 helping them with their transition to college, and helped impact the local community through advertising assistance to a local non-profit organization. Along the way I have formed lasting relationships with students, faculty and staff. The opportunities that Radford University has provided for me have changed my life, and I'm not the only one at RU who has experienced these benefits.
If the founders of this great institution could see it today, I am sure they would be amazed at how far we have come. There have been trials along the way, but part of RU's success has been in overcoming these trials. We have been very blessed to have the help of individuals like you. At times like these, when budget cuts loom overhead, your assistance is especially noticed and, as always, appreciated.
Finally, I want to say thank you. Your support helps us build our dreams, one day at a time, and your generosity will never be forgotten.
Lucinda Swanson
