James Pennix '88 Director of Admissions

What are your hobbies?

I love watching football, basketball and lacrosse. I love spending time with my family. I have 3 sons; Damian who is 17, Jamie who is 5 and Jordan who is 4.

What's your favorite part about Roanoke?   

The people. From the students who attend to personnel who work here, I feel blessed to have met so many wonderful people through the Roanoke community. The relationships that I have formed through interaction with students and colleagues at Roanoke are lifetime treasures.

What one piece of advice would you give new students?

Challenge yourself to try new things on campus. The Roanoke experience is really about how much you get involved. Be an active participant in making your Roanoke experience special. The Roanoke experience is not just for four years but a lifetime.
