Each year, Roberts Wesleyan College alumni are honored for their outstanding achievements and for their commitment to the life of the institution. The Alumnus of the Year, Hall of Fame, and new in 1997, G.O.L.D. Award (Graduate Of the Last Decade) are presented at the annual Homecoming Banquet in October. New members to the Sports Hall of Fame recipients also are inducted at Homecoming. In addition, a new alumnus/a is honored at Commencement each year with the Alumni Association Senior Award. We are proud of these alumni!
