Alumni can enjoy Bloodies & Bagels, a morning tradition that combines good food with great company. Throughout the day, reunion events will bring together classmates from milestone years, including the Honor Guard for alumni from the Class of 1974 and earlier.
Saturday offers even more excitement, starting with Academic Row, where alumni can explore the latest developments in their former departments. Athletic enthusiasts can cheer on Roanoke College teams during Athletic Games, while fraternity and sorority members can reconnect at dedicated gatherings. The day culminates in the highly anticipated Saturday Night Party, a celebration filled with music, laughter, and memories.
This year’s Alumni Weekend also introduces new features, adding fresh energy to the beloved tradition. The college has worked hard to ensure the event is inclusive and engaging, with activities that reflect the diverse interests of its alumni community.
Roanoke College encourages alumni to register early and make arrangements to attend. Hotel blocks have been reserved for the weekend, ensuring convenient accommodation for visitors.
