Mission Statement

The mission of the Alumni Association is to involve as many alumni as possible in satisfying relationships in the life of Roanoke College and to build strong connections to our community, region, and the world. The mission is to encourage generations of alumni to support Roanoke College with their time, talents, and resources.

Each Chapter and Club serves to unite alumni in an organization that is mutually beneficial to both the individual and Roanoke College. The alumni chapter or club should support Roanoke College through projects such as the Alumni Career Assistance and Alumni Networking Program, and fundraising for the Roanoke Fund. An alumni chapter or club should have a positive effect on Roanoke College. Chapter and club leadership should strive to accomplish annual goals or objectives that meet the general purposes for which the chapters and clubs were established. Leadership should assess annually the role of their alumni chapter or club and establish goals and objectives that further the organization's aims.
