What Is Roberts Thankful For?

What are you thankful for?

This is the question we asked Roberts’ faculty, staff, students, and alumni.

“This year, I'm particularly thankful for my dreams as much as for having the resources and support to chase after them.

“I am equally grateful to those who want me to be happy. They are people who remind me to take a moment to savor little things in life like waves of laughter or a cozy blanket on a cold day.”

-Kate Nguyen’23 (Psychology and Chemistry)

“First and foremost, I am grateful for God's unwavering promise and His work in my life.

“I am also so appreciative of every member of the Roberts community; I would not be the person I am today without this amazing institution.”

-Katie Allkofer’24 (MSW)

“I find myself extremely grateful for the opportunity to spend some much needed time with my family during the holiday this year!

“I'm so thankful that both of my parents (age 70+) are in the land of the living, with vibrant vitality and able to experience their grandchildren.”

-Natasha House, Assistant Director, Recruiting and Admissions, Adult & Graduate Enrollment

“I am thankful for my family and their endless support. I am grateful for my friends, teammates, and coaches who make my time here at Roberts unforgettable.

“But most importantly, I thank God for all the blessings he has given me and will continue to provide.”

-Robbie Hinds’24 (Management and Social Entrepreneurship)


“I am thankful for the love and support of my family, friends, and coworkers this holiday season. I am also extremely grateful for all the work God has done in my life in the last year as I traveled across the country.”

-Olivia Wehle’21 (Business Administration)

“I am thankful that Roberts is still faithful to historic Christianity, and Christian higher education in this challenging time and space. Because of that, some people still have a place to go.”

-Michael Chen, Associate Professor of Accounting and Business Analytics

“I am grateful for the Brand & Marketing Communications team at Roberts. I deeply appreciate these six people and all they do for the University. Their efforts don't go unnoticed & their work ethic amazes me!”
