A better tomorrow Will all the social, economic and technological changes occurring make a better world? This is the challenge facing us today: how to harness these forces for good. At Roanoke College we believe good will prevail, if more people are encouraged to find and live their passions. Those who live what they love make the world a better place. They care. They get involved. They find new ways to do things. Their energy and determination inspire us all to care, to strive, to fight for what we love. At Roanoke, we believe more passionate lives will make a better tomorrow. Many colleges talk about finding passion; we believe that`s only half the battle. Institutions of higher education need to help their students—and their alumni—live their passions. Our goal is to help all Roanoke students find and live what they love, and for our success to be a beacon to other schools. Imagine how much better the world will be with millions of passionate people working hard for positive change.
