Get Involved
Every year, hundreds of alumni help Roanoke through recruitment, mentoring, fundraising and networking.
-
Your knowledge and experiences are priceless for Roanoke students who are looking at a career in your field. Imagine if you could go back in time and talk to your 21-year-old self, how much it would help! Join Maroon Mentors and you can help students find career direction and prepare for their first job. Mentors provide career advice, help students get internships and coach them on networking, resumes and job interviews.
-
Getting firsthand experience via internships is crucial for students. If you have a position available, work with us to find a good fit for a current Roanoke student. Reach out to Jonathan Lee, Senior Director of Student and Alumni Success Services, at our career center, PLACE.
-
Want to stay connected with your fellow Roanoke College alumni? Join one of our alumni chapters. In these chapters you will find an active group of Maroons that will offer you opportunities for fellowship and professional networking.
-
Help Roanoke College recurit the next generation of Maroons! Share name(s) and contact information for any high shcool sophomore, junior or senior you think would make a great Maroon and be entered for a chance to win a $25 gift card to the Roanoke College campus store.
-
Roanoke encourages hard work, imagination, initiative, problem-solving and responsibility to community. When you invest in Roanoke, you enable these ideals to take root and thrive in our students, our faculty, the region and beyond. Become a member of one of our giving societies: Associates Society, Cornerstone Society, Maroon Club or Young Associates.
Speaking to students is really a two way street—they get practical career advice, and we get to learn about the mindset of students and absorb their energy and enthusiasm.
