Happy Spring break! Roanoke students are traveling far and wide for Spring Break this week. Hopefully we’ll have some pictures and travel reports from the different travel groups in the next week or so.  Midterm time and exam times are stressful times for students and for faculty too. US News has some advice and reports on how several Colleges across the country deal with these times of academic stress.

Students and alumni alike will recognize one of the methods cited in US News – kicking the post at Roanoke College. For good luck on exams and graduation, students (and even alumni) have been kicking the post for nearly a century. It’s nice to see our campus tradition being shared with the US News audience.  Check out their story.
