Roanoke College and Virginia Western Community College have created a new program, Rapid Maroons, that will provide a direct path to Roanoke College for students who choose to begin their post-secondary education at Virginia Western. Roanoke College President Frank Shushok Jr. and Virginia Western President Robert Sandel signed the agreement on Tuesday, Sept. 5.  

The Rapid Maroons Program is designed for students who are accepted to Roanoke but choose, for a variety of reasons, to start their college careers at Virginia Western, as well as those who do not initially meet academic requirements for admission to Roanoke College.
