Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Roanoke College is dedicated to improving the quality of life for students of multicultural backgrounds and, through a more welcoming and comforting environment, helping them excel academically and socially. Through diverse educational, cultural and social programs, we're building a more diverse community of students.

  • The P.E.A.C.E. (Proficiency, Education, Advocacy, Civility, and Equity) framework is comprehensive, flexible, and designed to provide our campus with a sustainable and attainable format for incorporating diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging into the Roanoke College fiber.

  • We desire for all members of our community to live authentically and be accepted for who they are, starting at the very heart of their identity—their name.

Recent Roanoke alumni Roge Lopez, a First-generation Latino student originally from Guatemala, talks about the college's commitment to equity, inclusion, diversity and social justice, particularly for under-represented students.
