Today, we remember. We pray. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and those who answered tragedy with courage, compassion, and service.

Among those who answered the call was Roberts alumnus Khamkay “Kai” Chitaphong ’97, ’02, who served near Ground Zero through The Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Response efforts. As a Christ-centered community, we pause today to remember and pray.

“God is our refuge and strength.” — Psalm 46:1

We remember. We pray. We will never forget.

Today, Roberts Wesleyan University joins communities across the nation in remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honoring the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who responded.

Convocation Chapel

Today, the Roberts community came together to mark the beginning of a new academic year with our annual Convocation Chapel.

Faculty proudly wore the academic regalia of their alma maters, students gathered together in worship, and President Willis shared a message as we looked ahead to all this year will hold.

There’s something special about beginning a new year together, grounded in faith, surrounded by community, and excited for what’s ahead.

Here’s to a new year of learning, growing, and living with purpose.

Nothing better than a night at a Rochester Red Wings game with the Roberts community! ⚾️❤️

We had such a great turnout of Roberts alumni at last night’s game! It was so special seeing so many familiar faces come together, reconnect, and enjoy a summer night in Rochester.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, we loved spending the evening with you! Once a Redhawk, always a Redhawk. ❤️
