Outstanding Student Workers

The H.S. ("Buddy") Johnston and Janet N. Johnston Outstanding Student Worker Awards were established by the Radford University Foundation in December of 1993.  Buddy Johnston was the Financial Aid Director at Radford University for twenty-six years until he retired in 2000.   Supervisors nominate students who have exceeded the "call of duty" in performing in an outstanding manner in their campus work tasks.  Nominations are accepted until early March.  A committee reviews the nominations and awards three $250 awards.  One will be given to a graduate student and two will be given to undergraduate students.  Supervisors are notified in January to submit nominations.
