Education for Character since 1866

Davon "DJ" Jackson, Business Administration '17

From basketball to “hitting the books,” Davon Jackson is a student of character who has taken advantage of the opportunities that Roberts offers both academically and athletically. Learning experiences such as Professor Carrie Starr’s many class activities and group projects have challenged him and his fellow students to create a better campus community as well as to make a difference in the Greater Rochester area. Besides basketball, Jackson is the student advisory athletic committee president, works with BELL students, and helps in the business department. At Roberts, Jackson has gained a better understanding of God's goals and expectations for his life

Allison Denny, Biochemistry '19

I am a biochemistry major at Roberts. I am learning a lot from my classes and hope to become a doctor or researcher. At Roberts, I am surrounded by professors who help me learn and who strengthen my faith and my love for God. I feel as though I can be myself while still discovering who I really am. Being from New Mexico, I just can’t go home like my friends during breaks. My friends are genuine people and have opened their homes to me, which makes me feel like I belong in Rochester at Roberts. I also learned to be more independent, resourceful and confident. My favorite class so far was first year seminar. In this class, we discussed freedom in Rochester and around the world and I found the topics that very intriguing.

Joshua Barrett, Social Work '17

I transferred to Roberts after completing my two-year degree at Onondaga Community College. I selected Roberts for Social Work as their program has a great reputation and the opportunity for the integration of spirituality in social work education. I knew I would be prepared academically for a career in social work through benefitting from the field education program. I will have opportunity to complete both a junior level and senior level field placement that provides on-the-job training and experience with clients from diverse backgrounds. I am also learning from professionals already in the social work field! At Roberts I am discovering my best self by feeling affirmed and confident in my call to serve others.

Angella Watson, R.N. to B.S. '17

It was a good time in my career and personal life to pursue my R.N. to B.S. degree. I have worked 15 years at Newark-Wayne Community Hospital and I am currently a certified endoscopy nurse. Roberts made it easy to choose this program – it was a very organized process and I liked that it catered to adults. I also appreciated receiving credit for my life and work experiences, which was a benefit to starting this program. The transition from day-to-day nursing to being a student in the R.N. to B.S. program was easier than I thought – I look forward to my classes! I am also looking forward to the future benefits to my career and professional advancement. At Roberts I am discovering my best self!

Kristina Button, Communications '19

I am a second generation Roberts student, both my parents graduated from here in 1989. Growing up I always thought about going to Roberts and in my college search I visited both Christian and secular institutions. I felt like I belonged at Roberts because of the genuine students and professors. They were caring and welcoming. I am studying Communications for a future career in community relations. Being able to play NCAA DII athletics was also very important to me – as I play not only volleyball but also am a sprinter for the track & field team. I feel I am benefitting from faculty and coaches who are accessible and supportive. And I'm making friends for life too! At Roberts I am discovering my best self by growing personally, striving athletically and advancing academically.

Nicole Mathis, O.M. '14, Initial Childhood and Special Education '15

I completed my bachelor’s at Roberts in the Organizational Management program. After completing that degree, I felt I was better prepared for lifelong learning, and I wanted to make a difference in the lives of students; so I decided to pursue my teaching degree. My student teaching experience was rewarding, and is where I realized that the Roberts' foundational assumptions of scholarship, spiritual formation, and service were the core of my desire to be a teacher. At Roberts I am discovering my best self through meeting the needs of the diverse student body of the Rochester City School District.

Bryan Milne, Strategic Leadership '16

I received my undergraduate degree from Roberts in Criminal Justice. As an undergraduate student, I was an intern with the Gates Police Department and from that internship, I was hired to work in Wegmans Corporate Asset Protection. After working for four years, I had a good foundation of work experience; however, I wanted to get my master’s degree to enable my career preparation and advancement. After learning about the Masters in Strategic Leadership (MSL) program I knew that was the right graduate degree for me because of the leadership skills I would learn and the face to face interactions in the classroom. I have a goal to advance within Wegmans; therefore a master’s degree helps me to achieve my professional objectives and to achieve my full potential. In the MSL program, assignments and projects provide not only the knowledge but also the “hands-on” experience – which is really important. I am able to put what I am learning into practice in my role as Communications Center Operator. At Roberts, I am discovering my best self through gaining confidence in the classroom that is carrying over to my professional life and career.
