Associate Dean of Student Leadership & Engagementorientation

Aaron Hitchcock '24

Student Association President

Favorite Memory of their Orientation Experience

Celeste: "The SALT Variety show! I loved how funny it was and how I learned so much about being a student at Roberts, and meeting the student leaders."

Aaron: “One of my core memories was playing frisbee on Cox lawn with a group of other freshman - many of them are now my close friends! I also loved the late night adventure, and seeing how student-run it was helped spark my interest in SALT.

When not preparing for an amazing Orientation weekend, they can be found doing:

Celeste: "Spending time with her amazing kiddos and husband, working on house projects and camping!"

Aaron: "Hanging out with friends and thrifting!"

They are often seen…

Celeste: "Meeting for coffee, lunch or walks on campus with students, and attending Student Life events!"

Aaron: “Doing homework in the GCEC (I basically live there) or socializing in Garlock!

Best Tip on starting your new adventure at Roberts:

Celeste: "Get connected! Don't sit in your room, attend as much as you can the first 40 days of the semester and find at least one thing (club, sport, ministry) you can be part of!"

Aaron: “Branch out! Don't be afraid to meet new people and try new things. Break out of your comfort zone because it's so worth it.
