President's Forum
The Annual President's Forum draws attention to a new chapter in the intellectual life of Roanoke College. Members of our community will present brief reflections from their disciplinary expertise on a predetermined topic as it relates to their research, scholarship or creative work. President Maxey responds to the presentations and kicks off the ensuing faculty discussion.
