Radford University is making waves with its successful expansion of outdoor programs, surpassing initial participation goals in just the first three months of the semester. Doctor Traggersa announced that the university aimed for 46 programs with 519 participants but exceeded expectations with 48 programs attracting 811 participants.

The standout event, the Tartan 5K in Roanoke, showcased the university's commitment to engaging students and the community. Several board members participated, and there are plans to recruit even more participants for future events. Sabrina Musick, a graduate student in occupational therapy and a student veteran, played a pivotal role in organizing the race. She shared her insights and experiences with the committee, highlighting the leadership opportunities available to students.

This initiative not only promotes physical activity but also fosters community involvement and student leadership at Radford University. The success of these programs sets a promising tone for future outdoor activities and student engagement efforts.
