More Misspellings Found on Radford Diplomas
Radford University graduates are continuing to find mistakes in their diplomas as the school works on a plan to get corrected versions to nearly 1,500 former students.
The school said earlier this week that undergraduate and graduate students who graduated in the fall of 2012 and spring of 2013 received the marred diplomas. On many, the words "Virginia"' and "thereto" were misspelled.
Graduate Marshall Wildberger tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch he checked his diploma after the mistakes were first reported and noticed that his major -- information science and systems -- also was misspelled. Systems is spelled with an "a" instead of an "e" on the diploma Wildberger received last July.
"It's kind of disappointing. You would think for how much you pay for four years for a bachelor's degree, your diploma would be right the first time," said Wildberger, a Mechanicsville resident now working for CapitalOne.
"They don't cut you that break in school when you're writing a paper," he said.
