F.A.T.E. (Future Alumni Training & Educating) is a group of campus leaders who are committed to the present and future success of Roanoke College. Members serve as ambassadors of the College and are given unique opportunities to network with alumni at various events on and off campus.
The focus of F.A.T.E. is to help educate students about the importance of supporting the College and to demonstrate how that support affects not only the amount of financial aid available to students but also the reputation of our alma mater. The group works closely with the professional staff in the offices of Resource Development and Alumni & Parent Relations to help meet fund-raising and “friend-raising” goals.

Support of the Roanoke Fund helps to ensure that the value of a Roanoke College degree is maintained and enhanced.
