It describes the requirements for all academic programs and for graduation. It provides information about financial aid and scholarships. It sets forth regulations and faculty policies that govern academic life and acquaints students with the Roanoke College faculty and staff. I encourage every student to become familiar with the contents of the Catalog. If any portion of it needs further explanation, faculty advisors and staff members in the Office of the Registrar and the Center for Learning and Teaching stand ready to answer any questions. Although there are advisors to assist, ultimately, it is the responsibility of the student to register correctly, to complete the necessary course work for graduation and to abide by the academic regulations of the College, as set forth by the faculty. Dr. Richard A. Smith Vice President for Academic Affairs Shirley C. Donald E. Morel MD Dean of the College Catalog Policy The contents of this catalog represent the most current information available at the time of publication. During the period of time covered by this catalog, it is reasonable to expect changes to be made without prior notice. Thus, the provisions of this catalog are not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract between the College and the student. The Academic Catalog is produced by the Registrar’s Office in cooperation with various other offices on campus. The educational process requires continual review, and the College reserves the right to make appropriate changes in its courses, programs, grading system, standards of progress and retention, honors, awards, and fees. In general, students are to be governed by the Catalog that is current at the time they begin their studies at Roanoke College. However, a student has the option of declaring to be under the jurisdiction of a subsequent catalog except in cases where core requirements have been changed and the College has stipulated those eligible to declare the new curriculum. Should the faculty determine that a modification in course work for the major or teacher licensure program in education is necessary in order for students to complete a current course of study; the department reserves the right to modify degree or licensure requirements for students who have not yet formally declared a major or applied for teacher licensure. Students transferring from a Virginia community college may elect to declare any Catalog in effect within the twenty-four month period immediately preceding the term they first enrolled except in cases where core requirements have been changed and the College has stipulated who is eligible to declare the modified curriculum. Affiliation: The College maintains its partnership in church-related education with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America through the Virginia Synod, The Metropolitan Washington, DC Synod, and the West Virginia-Western Maryland Synod. Statement of nondiscrimination: Roanoke College does not discriminate against students, employees, or applicants on the basis of race, color, gender, creed, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status, national or ethnic origin, disability, or veteran status. 3 ROANOKE COLLEGE Statement of Purpose Vision Roanoke College is committed to being a leading national liberal arts college, a model of experiential learning and a community committed to open discourse and civil debate as ways of learning and as preparation for service in the world. Mission Roanoke College develops students as whole persons and prepares them for responsible lives of learning, service, and leadership by promoting their intellectual, ethical, spiritual and personal growth. Purpose Roanoke College pursues its mission through an innovative curriculum that combines a core program in the liberal arts, major fields of study in the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities and fine arts, along with career-oriented, specialized programs of study. Founded by Lutherans in 1842, Roanoke College welcomes and reflects a variety of religious traditions. The College honors its Christian heritage and its partnership with the Lutheran church by nurturing a dialogue between faith and reason. In keeping with its history and mission, the College strives to be a diverse community, nationally and internationally. Central to achieving the purposes of the College is a strong commitment to liberal education and its vision of human freedom leading to service within the human community. The College’s learning goals, therefore, focus upon developing both a student’s confident sense of freedom in the world and a sense of purpose in using that freedom. Through these goals the College strives to produce resourceful, informed, and responsible citizens prepared for productive careers and for leadership in the community. Freedom With Purpose: A Liberal Arts Education at Roanoke College Philosophy Education in the Liberal Arts is education for liberation. The term “liberal arts” derives from the Latin artes liberales and means,

  • Political Science and International Relations Alumni Newsletter
    1 POLITICAL SCIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ALUMNI NEWSLETTER SUNY GENESEO JUNE 2017 Greetings Political Science and International Relations Alum! Here is the 2017 summer newsletter, containing information on events in the department, political humor, bios of alumni, and notes on the activities and accomplishments of our students. The department is thriving, there are now more than 500 Political Science and International Relations. I do not know if this high number represents the fabulous professors within the department or the politically interesting times in which we live. We continue to send students all over the world for study-abroad experiences (and we bring most of them back), and students are engaged in a large number of academic and co- curricular activities. Based on what I have seen thus far I anticipate we will welcome a very large class of Political Science and International Relations majors in September 2017. 43 Alumni Newsletter June 2017 Senior Dinner Alumni at the Senior Dinner Alumni at the Senior Dinner The Department held its annual Senior/Honors award for outstanding internship.
