“With small class sizes, you’ll have opportunities you just can’t get in other places. You’ll get lots of one-on-one time with the professors, and they’re not the kind of instructors that you only see once a week. When you ask for their help, they’re going to be there for whatever you need.”
– De’anthony “DJ” Taylor '23. Learn more: www.radford.edu/programs/emergency-services.html
