Associates Society
Roanoke College Associates represent a distinguished community of alumni, parents, and friends whose generous annual support strengthens every corner of the College. This longstanding society honors those who believe deeply in Roanoke’s mission and invest in its vibrant present and promising future.
Membership
Associate membership is attained by contributing $1,000 or more in one fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). Members enjoy special invitations to a variety of college events and receptions. Donors who contribute $5,000 or more each year become members of the President’s Circle, a leadership level within the Associates that plays a vital role in advancing the College’s priorities. The continued commitment of our Associates fuels student success, elevates academic excellence, and ensures that Roanoke remains a place where potential is discovered and lives are transformed.
Gifts accepted for associate membership include cash, securities, gifts-in-kind or other property.
