Learning by doing. An education class hones op on ts playing skills in order -o teach others We've made the grade Queries, quizzes, exams and abstracts. Mid-terms, finals, term papers and tests. These challenged R.U. students every quarter, but they excelled with their competitive, academic spirit. Quarters began with a minimum of classroom assignments. The last few weeks were the killers. Students were flooded with work. Term papers were due, cases had to be presented, and dark clouds called finals hung over their heads. McConnell library was a swarm of activity. Students found every nook and cranny to study in. The copy machines were pushed to the limit, and the check-out desk was swamped.

now look what we've done ... We've made friends Friends. Without them, life at R.U. would have been boring and mundane. But with those energetic, simple, fun-loving friends, our years here were transformed into something special. Radford students are one of a kind. They exemplify the meaning of the words, southern hospitality, quick to smile and speak when passing. It's so easy to make friends in classes, in extracurricular activities, at the Hide Out, Sackett's. T.J.'s or the Bus Stop. Friends ate the inedible dining hall food with us, soothed our anxiety over a test and shared in our good times as well. They were there when our team won or lost; when we “aced a class or when we didn't; when old relationships crumbled or when new ones blossomed.
