What drew you to the Robertson Scholars? 

After spending hours reading through the website’s Scholar Profiles, it was clear to me that the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program offered exactly what I was looking for: a community of equally curious individuals that fostered passionate, empathetic collaboration. Every alumnus I encountered furthered my interest in the program with their humble anecdotes of why being a Robertson had been so transformational. From their words, I began to imagine what becoming a Robertson would look like. I considered how I would use the summer programming, the dual citizenship at Duke and UNC, and quickly found myself hooked. I’m thrilled to be a Robertson Scholar this fall and can’t wait to explore the breadth (and depth) of opportunities offered.
