Join us in celebrating community members who make Roanoke College stronger, more diverse and more inclusive! The Garren Awards honor Maroons who are dedicated to cultivating an environment where students of all backgrounds can find community and develop as their authentic selves.
The event includes a formal reception that brings together students, faculty, staff and alumni for a night of connection, reflection, and celebration. This year, the Multicultural Committee will also share plans for the future of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, including a new student-informed name for the program.
The Garren Awards are named in honor of Dr. Kenneth R. Garren, a former vice president and dean of the college. This is the 26th year for the awards.
