Radford University’s Research Rookies Program provides research experiences to select high-achieving incoming first year and transfer students to Radford University. Selected students will take a 3 credit hour class in the fall to develop career skills employers want and be paired with a faculty mentor after exploring their options in research and creative works. Students in the program have the opportunity to work alongside their faculty mentor on average for 5 hours a week throughout the next three semesters, thereby maximizing opportunities for research-based engagement and learning. Funding of $4,000 ($1,000 for each of four semesters) will be provided to each Highlander Research Rookie based on active participation in activities associated with Research Rookies.
