The Elevate Research program takes an evidenced-based approach to student success
and addresses several strategic priorities we aim to advance at Radford University
including
Expanded and equitable access to undergraduate research, scholarship and creative
inquiry experiences (URSCI).
Closing equity gaps and raising overall student retention, progression and graduation
rates.
Support faculty embedding URSCI & career readiness skills primarily into first- and
second-year courses where we see the greatest impact of these experiences on retention
and progression.
And diversifying classroom leadership to increase representation as our student population
has diversified at a much greater rate than our faculty.
