“H.R. 1182 is bipartisan legislation congratulating Radford University on its 100th anniversary. For a century, Radford University has provided students with an outstanding education, and the university richly deserves congratulations, which we extend today, on that achievement. In that century, nearly 70,000 students have received a Radford education, many of whom have gone on to become leaders in business and government and education, health care, the arts and other areas.

The school became Radford University in 1979, the name that it proudly bears today.”
