Very excited for honors senior Health Sciences major Jayden Zimmerman to be part of the newly launched CARES mobile clinic. Jayden will not only contribute to mission of the program, but also complete her honors capstone project under the supervision of Dr. Sallie Beth Johnson. Scholarly impact for the community!

If it's a new semester, then Dr. Bradbury's class must find the Radford Lucky Penny! She is teaching HNRS 310: Silk Road, which is an interdisciplinary exploration of art, economics, geography, and history. It's going to be a great semester for these students!
