Roanoke ready to assist Sweet Briar students
March 06, 2015
The recent announcement of the expected closure of Sweet Briar College was unexpected and sad news for the Roanoke College community.
"It is sad to learn of the closing of a venerable institution," Roanoke President Michael Maxey said. "All of us grieve the loss of Sweet Briar and are sorry for those who are impacted by the plan to close their operation. Colleges and universities are public trusts. Sweet Briar has long been an admired keeper of public trust. The world is richer because of its existence and the accomplishments of its alumnae.
"Many Sweet Briar students and accepted students are now looking for a new college home and Roanoke is prepared to assist those who are considering Roanoke College.
Sherrie Streng is the Roanoke College Admissions Office contact for Sweet Briar students and prospective students who have already been accepted to Sweet Briar. Roanoke College will make every effort to support and assist Sweet Briar students in this transition.
Streng is the Director of Operations for Admissions and Financial Aid. She can be reached at streng@roanoke.edu or by calling 540-375-2270 or 800-388-2276 (toll-free).
