A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
Center for Opportunity and Social Mobility - Approximately 30% of undergraduates at Radford University are first-generation students. The Center for Opportunity and Social Mobility (COSM) opened its doors at the beginning of the fall 2021 semester with this in mind.
“It’s not just about supporting,” said COSM Director Jessica Twiest. “It’s also about advocating for our first-generation students, faculty and staff and celebrating the fact that these folks are also on campus.”
