Description
On June 8, 1972, Radford College President, Donald Dedmon released a statement declaring that Radford College would immediately allow the enrollment of male students to the college as both resident and day students. That summer, Joe Jackson applied and was accepted as the first male undergraduate student. On December 6, 2018 he came to McConnell Library and talked to us about his experiences and memories of those days.
