The Roanoke College Medal is the college’s highest alumni honor, awarded to those who demonstrate exceptional leadership, integrity, excellence and service.

We are proud to announce Mike Haley '73 is the 2026 recipient of the Roanoke College Medal.

"Mike is a leader, and people are always looking to leaders to know the best way to serve. And I think Mike has been an incredible role model for so many people associated with Roanoke College. Mike represents all the things that we hope for in our graduates—people who are honest, who have integrity, who are other-centric, who want to serve with their life, people who understand that their life is an outpouring of service to others. That is who Mike Haley is, and I think that’s why he is an extraordinary example of what it means to be a medalist." -Frank Shushok Jr.

Join us at the Roanoke College Awards and Athletics Hall of Fame Celebration at 6 p.m. on Friday, April 10, in the Wortmann Ballroom.
