Chapel Hill and Durham, North Carolina –The Robertson Scholars Leadership Program is excited to announce that it will continue providing the Robertson Express for the 2025-26 academic year. Beginning in August 2025, the Robertson Express bus stop at UNC will be relocated to Columbia Street & Rosemary Street, providing convenient access to the Franklin-Rosemary Historic District in downtown Chapel Hill. With this change, the Robertson Express will no longer stop at Graham Memorial on UNC’s campus.

The Robertson Express is a convenient and environmentally friendly way for members of the UNC and Duke communities to commute between both campuses.

The Robertson Express operating schedule will remain the same and can be found at https://robertson.express/.

Robertson Scholars receive student privileges at both Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill, including opportunities to pursue second majors and minors, enroll in courses, and participate in extracurricular leadership opportunities across both campuses. During the academic year and throughout the summer, the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program provides signature programming and self-directed learning experiences designed to invite Scholars to get curious, take action, and examine the impact of their choices.

The Robertson Scholars Leadership Program was created in 2000 through the work and generosity of the late Julian Robertson, a 1955 graduate of UNC, and his wife, Josie. Inspired by their sons — one of whom graduated from Duke in 1998, and another from UNC in 2001 — the Robertsons believed that each institution offered a distinctive undergraduate education, but that the combination of the two promised a breadth and depth of experience that no single university could match.

The Robertson alumni network consists of more than 630 leaders on six continents, linked together by a common goal to make transformational contributions to their communities across the globe. For more information on the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program visit www.robertsonscholars.org
