Roberts Wesleyan College welcomes gifts of time,
expertise, and involvement from her alumni! Here are some of the ways alumni
help provide “Education For Character” at Roberts Wesleyan:
EVENTS
Finals Week Christmas Care Bags – Local alumni
deliver purchased goodies to our office on campus, and we deliver them just when they need an extra “boost”
– the first day of finals week. For information and to Sign up Click here!
Homecoming/Class Reunions – Homecoming annually draws hundreds of alumni, parents & friends
to campus. Alumni volunteer as…
- Planners on the Homecoming Committee
- Drivers in the Homecoming Parade
- Vendors at the Homecoming Tent
- Hosts at Class Reunions
- And in many more ways!
Mark your calendars & plan to attend! To find out how
you can help with Homecoming and/or any of the above events, contact Alumni Relations at alumni@roberts.edu or call 585.594.6407 now to find out how you can help!
Phonathon – Callers are needed for two annual
phonathons. Each fall, we call alumni and friends to raise money for
student scholarships. In the spring, callers generate support for the
Annual Fund. These are great ways to re-connect with fellow alum,
exchange information and provide an opportunity for people to financially
support Roberts. Come join the fun!

Scholarship Golf Tournament - One of the most fun ways to help! Come golf in our Scholarship Tournament.

RWC Link Program - In cooperation with the Career Planning
& Placement Office, Link connects Roberts alumni with current students
and other alumni for consultation, advice, internships and job opportunities.
There are four ways for alumni to get involved:
Shadowing – Students spend a day with a Roberts alumnus/a currently
working in a career they might want.
Career Mentoring – Alumni advise and encourage students
in their journey toward the profession of their choice.
Career Advisory Network – Alumni assist each other
in finding appropriate work within a particular industry and/or geographic
area.
Alumni Career Connections – Alumni serve as
panelists for a questions-and-answer-style session with students in these
career fields. For more information, contact Mary Flaherty, Career Planning
and Placement Coordinator at 585.594.6540 or Flahertym@roberts.edu
Roberts Alumni Recruiting Efforts - The Admissions Office would love to connect Roberts alumni with prospective
students at college fairs, youth group gatherings, and through correspondence
and phone calls. Successful alumni make fantastic recruiters, especially when
they speak fondly and enthusiastically about the “Education for Character”
they received at Roberts Wesleyan College. For more information,
