"If there’s one thing I’ve learned at Roanoke, it’s the power of community. We wouldn't have made it through our college career without the support of our friends, or the fantastic group of faculty and staff that dedicated so much to our education and development. … I think it's safe to say that Roanoke has become more than a college for all of us. It's been a home."
Eli Flynn Wooliever (co-valedictorian, '23)
