MaroonNet Student Portal is up and running!

The Student portal of MaroonNet, our online job posting site for Roanoke College, is up and running. Thank you for your patience over the past week as we have had to work out a few bugs in the new system. All should work now. Remember, ALL jobs are posted here – campus student jobs (look for employer name starting with RC; those seeking work-study students should have this stated within their job descriptions); part-time; summer; full-time; paid internships. Go to this URL: http://www.roanoke.edu/maroonnet and click the button for Students. This will allow you to log in with your RC user name and password, and will take you to a terms and conditions page to accept. You should complete your profile as much as possible, as employers can search on students by certain factors. You’d want to be able to be found by them. (You may opt out of this if you like, but if you’re in an active search, this is not suggested.) New students to Roanoke will have access to MaroonNet within 48 hours of having completed their fall course schedule. If you experience ANY problems or have questions, Career Services is happy to help!

Psychology

About the program

Ranked as one of 35 "great schools for psychology" by The Princeton Review, Roanoke College's psychology department focuses on this subject as a science. The small class size enables the department to offer top-notch training in research, analysis and other scientific skills that is often absent at large universities. Every psychology major, for example, learns firsthand how to conduct an experimental study. Many students go on to carry out independent research projects and present their findings at regional and national conferences. These experiences are invaluable for students to be accepted into graduate school. We also integrate career guidance into our classes in order to help our graduates succeed after college.
