Student Testimonials

Radford University students and alumni have had their lives changed by their study abroad experiences.  We will be featuring new student testimonials periodically, but you can access our last two study abroad magazines below and see read the stories our students tell about their overseas adventures!

 

Brian Shea - "RU's 'International Study Abroad' program opened my eyes to a larger world. During my semester abroad (in Salzburg, Austria), I was able to take international business classes that focused on Austrian and German companies such as Red Bull and BMW. The fact that I lived with a local family helped engage me in the language and culture. No matter what your academic concentration, an international study program will enhance your global understanding and improve your marketability after graduation."

 

Carly Hetmanek - Carly just graduated in May 2009 after completing a study abroad semester in Sydney, Australia, and working in the IEC for three semesters.  Click on her name to read her recent RU Faces profile and learn how her time Down Under changed her life!

 

Vandy Pullen - RU varsity basketball player Vandy Pullen '08 participated in the RU Malawi summer study abroad program and learned how to transfer some of the lessons she learned on the court to her new African surroundings.
