The Roberts Circle

What is the Roberts Circle?

The Roberts Circle is made up of over 500 alumni and friends of the University who choose to give anywhere between $1,000 and $100,000 per year. Each gift helps students expand their fields of knowledge, explore new career paths, and receive support from caring faculty and staff. 

When you’re in the Circle, you receive exclusive benefits, invitations to special events, and opportunities to connect to the President, faculty, staff, and students. Join the Circle to be a part of an elite group of people who all believe in Roberts and the mission the university pursues.

Graduates of the Last Decade

As a recent grad, you understand not only how life-changing a Roberts education can be but also the weight of education costs. It’s likely that the Roberts Fund provided scholarship assistance and budgetary assistance for you to experience a Roberts education. In fact, without the Roberts Fund, many alumni would be under a much greater burden post-graduation. Those funds that enabled your transformational education were made possible by alumni like you.

In order to enable younger alumni to be a part of the Roberts Circle, and to recognize the sacrifice of a gift rather than the actual gift amount, we invite alumni who have graduated in the last 10 years with their undergrad degree to give back and join the Roberts Circle at the GOLD Level by giving $500 (or $42/month).
