Get Involved

Every year, hundreds of alumni help Roanoke through recruitment, mentoring, fundraising and networking.

  • Join an alumni chapter

    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.

  • Be a career coach

    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.

  • Find a Roanoke College student intern

    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, Director of Alumni Engagement and Student Enrichment, at PLACE, our career services office. 

  • Give back

    campus

    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.
