Why I Give
"We consider Roanoke college to be some of our best memories of our lives and credit it with providing us with not only the chance to meet each other, but a group of friends we still consider to be family. Roanoke College provides so many outlets of opportunity for students that are willing to take it. We choose to support Roanoke to keep the opportunities available."
Samantha Garst Cook '15 and Sam Cook '13
"Roanoke College gave me a chance to make myself into the person I am today, and prepared me to succeed in graduate school and my career! Giving back allows the next students to have some of the same opportunities I had, and allows me to support one of the places I most love!"
Ben Cowgill, '17
