Small
liberal arts school in
Salem, Virginia. This is next to the city of
Roanoke, but given that the
college was named in 1840 after the local
river, and Roanoke didn't take that name until the post-
war days, RC has a better claim to the name than the city. Affiliated with the
Lutheran church. Has a fairly active
a cappella group,
Looking For An Echo, that goes out into the world attempting to rectify the fact that nobody outside the Roanoke-
Lynchburg-
New River Valley area has ever heard of the school. Not coincidentally,
music is one of their top programs.
Competes athletically in NCAA Division III, as part of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference.
