More than 400 Graduates to Participate in Roberts Wesleyan College’s
Annual Commencement Ceremony -
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Roberts Wesleyan College will celebrate its annual commencement ceremony at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 5, in the Voller Athletic Center on campus. More than 290 undergraduate students and more than 120 graduate students will participate in the event. Hobby Lobby president and Biblical artifact collector Steve Green will share words of advice with the graduates as the event’s keynote speaker.
President John Martin remarks that “It is an honor to have such an outstanding business leader on our campus. His world-renowned collection of biblical manuscripts shows that an entrepreneur can have varied interests.”
In addition to his role in the family business, Green now devotes half his time to managing The Green Collection, an extensive accumulation of biblical artifacts. The collection of more than 40,000 biblical antiquities will eventually become the core of an international, non-sectarian Bible museum and will be the subject of ongoing scholarly research through the Green Scholars Initiative. Most recently, more than 100 items were displayed at the Vatican in Rome during Lent.
Tickets are required to attend this event. For additional information, call 585-594-6350 or visit www.roberts.edu/commencement/default.aspx.
