Mission Statement for Roanoke College
Roanoke College's Mission is to engage students in their development as whole persons through an integrative learning approach that stresses intellectual, ethical, spiritual and personal growth and prepares our graduates for responsible lives of learning, service, and leadership in a diverse and changing world.
Mission Statement for the Roanoke College Alumni Association:
The mission of the Alumni Association and the Alumni Executive Council is to involve as many alumni as possible in satisfying relationships in the life of Roanoke College and to build strong connections to our community, region, and the world. The mission is to encourage generations of alumni to support Roanoke College with their time, talents, and resources.
Each chapter serves to unite alumni in an organization which is mutually beneficial to both the individual and Roanoke College. The alumni chapter should provide strong support for Roanoke College through such projects as the Alumni Admissions Program, Alumni Career Assistance and Alumni Networking Program, and fund raising for the Roanoke Fund.
An alumni chapter should have a positive effect on Roanoke College. Chapter leadership should strive to accomplish annual goals or objectives that meet the general purposes for which the chapters were established. Chapter officers and directors should assess annually the role of their alumni chapter and establish goals and objectives that further the aims of the organization.
