Tour Roanoke College during Private College Week
July 18, 2016
Summertime is a great time to visit Roanoke College. Come check us out during Virginia Private College Week, July 25-30. Rising high school juniors and seniors who visit at least three participating Virginia colleges during this event are eligible for incentives offered by the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia. Transfer students are welcome, too.
During your visit, you will attend a presentation about the College, meet some current students, and tour our campus. Take a good look at our classrooms, residence halls, athletic facilities, the library, the Dining Commons and more. Arrange to meet a professor. Admire the classic architecture of our buildings and the natural beauty of the grounds and surrounding locale. Find out where our students hang out-both on campus and on nearby Main Street Salem. Take a selfie on the quad or by the college sign. Imagine yourself here!
Be sure to ask your tour guide about the Cregger Center, a soon-to-be-completed multiple-use facility that will bring academics, athletics, recreation and community engagement under one roof. Though not yet accessible for inside tours, it will open this fall as a campus and community hub.
Visitors comment often about the gem they find Roanoke to be; they love the mountains, Main Street Salem, the vibrancy of downtown Roanoke, and the well-kept campus.

"We are delighted to introduce Roanoke College to you!" says Dean of Admissions Dr. Brenda Poggendorf. "Visitors comment often about the gem they find Roanoke to be; they love the mountains, Main Street Salem, the vibrancy of downtown Roanoke, and the well-kept campus. The best part of Roanoke, though, is the community of people drawn here. Everyone cares about the success of our students and wants to get to know them. In doing so, students are linked to amazing opportunities. Enjoy your visit and make this the first of many!"
Campus tours and information sessions will be offered Monday through Friday at 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and Saturday at 9:00 a.m. Be sure to sign up for your preferred time.
Twenty-four colleges across the Commonwealth are participating in the Virginia Private College Week initiative. By visiting three of them, you will receive three application fee waivers that may be used at any of the 24 colleges. In addition, your name will be entered into a drawing for a $500 Amazon gift.
