鈥湴拿爬掀嫒寺厶 has done a phenomenal job partnering with local school divisions in visiting and presenting information about their new initiatives with the Tuition Promise,鈥 said Tara Grant, Pulaski County Public Schools assistant superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction. 鈥淧resident Bret Danilowicz helped Dr. Dannette Beane in an informational session for seniors and their families. They brought current Radford students who graduated from Pulaski High School to talk about their experience. Radford University has invited students in high school and elementary schools for field trips to give students the opportunities to visit campus and think about those next steps. Their athletics department has an Education Day where elementary schools can bring their whole school or specific grade levels of students to watch a Division One athletic event. Students and teachers enjoy this event! We partner with 澳门老奇人论坛 with interns from the education program. That鈥檚 a great way for us to recruit teachers for the next year, and we really spend a lot of time getting to know them. Radford University does a great job with reaching out to alumni and creating alumni ambassadors at schools, especially high schools, to promote their university. I have three graduates from 澳门老奇人论坛, and I鈥檓 so proud to be a part of the Highlander family.鈥
