At Roanoke College, living-learning communities offer students with shared academic or personal interests the chance to live together in a supportive environment. 

The Kim Kyusik Center for Korean Studies honors both the history and future of Roanoke College’s long-standing ties to Korea.

Future phases of the project will connect Elizabeth Campus to Salem Stadium. 

The events held during “Community Day: Maroons on a Mission” were part of the college’s yearlong exploration of character education through a special grant from the Educating Character Initiative.

The center is designed to equip students, staff, faculty and the community with skills to engage with one another across differences.

Thanks to advocacy from his supervisors in Campus Safety, one student received a scholarship to help fund his college education.

Jon Murrill, Charles Price and the Roanoke Cultural Endowment are this year’s recipients of the Perry F. Kendig Awards. 

Coaches said the upgraded training facility, which will serve all of the college’s 600+ student-athletes, is a “breath of fresh air.”

Jon Murrill ’09, an accomplished artist who has painted eye-popping murals in the Roanoke Valley and beyond, will paint a mural at Maroon Village and deliver an Oct. 24 lecture about public art in Olin Recital Hall. Students may use the link in this story to sign up for painting and learning sessions with the artist.

The final interior beam of the center’s new building was put in place July 23.
