On November 16, we go all-in for Science!
With the generous $15 million gift from alumnus Shaun McConnon '66, we begin an incredible journey to move the Science Center at Roanoke College from dream to reality! Shaun issued a challenge to Maroons to invest in the future of the College and go all-in for Science!
On Tuesday, November 16 the Maroon community will accept that challenge, and the journey will begin. We need you to help us reach our goal of raising $500,000 for Science in 24 hours! The Science Center will provide modern teaching and collaborative learning spaces for a student population that has doubled since the existing science facilities were built in 1970.
We need all Maroons to help us usher in a new science generation at Roanoke! Be part of this exceptional opportunity to benefit ALL future Maroons, fuel discovery, and elevate the entire institution!
