Leadership at Roberts Wesleyan University

Christian Leadership is Servant Leadership

As Christ followers, we can consider love as both a command and an invitation; an exercise, a discipline, and a freeing permission. It is an essential aspect of who we are and all we do.

Aligning Roberts' purpose and mission with a people-centered focus, we will continue to make steady and sustainable progress toward a flourishing community and thriving students.
