“Attending Roberts Wesleyan has allowed me the opportunity to work out my faith in an environment where I am supported and encouraged, but also challenged me to think about why it is that I really believe what I believe. I have learned what it means to seek truth, ask the tough questions about faith and reason, and seek a relationship with Christ that is more than a ‘religion.’” — Julia Clark ’08, Religion/Philosophy

Social work major Kelly Kuiken has conducted undergraduate research on the benefit of recreational activity for older adults, participated in an internship, and worked as a Resident Advisor; but it was her experience studying abroad in Tanzania that was the “most enriching” component of her education. “The experience went far beyond stretching me academically: it helped me become a more culturally sensitive person, more openminded, and much more aware of the plight of the world. It definitely helped in giving me a love for anthropology and a desire to continue to travel and see more of the world!”

Kevin Goes to Hollywood “I traveled to Los Angeles in the fall of 2007 as part of the Los Angeles Film Studies Center, a program run by the BestSemester program. This opportunity has given me the chance, as a student and creator of film, to immerse myself in a film-centered education. I learned an incredible amount, from hands-on production to film theory and analysis to industry experience. The LAFSC was an incredible experience.”

Preserving God’s greatest work of art As a visual information specialist for Glacier National Park in Montana, David Restivo, a 1996 graduate of Roberts Wesleyan’s art program, has found a way to combine his talents in graphic design and his passion for the great outdoors. Restivo has earned several awards for his visual displays, Web work, and new media design, including the National Association
of Interpreters Interactive Multimedia Award in 2006 and the National Park Service Intermountain Region Freeman Tilden Award in 2007. Despite his many awards, Restivo believes his greatest work is done in preserving God’s creation. “God is truly an artist. He has created this amazing world. As Christians, I think it’s our responsibility to protect it.”
