“It is such an honor to be named the top graduate for the Harley Langdale Jr. College of Business Administration,” she said. “ It is so fulfilling to know that all the hard work that I have put in has been recognized, especially in a time where we have had to adapt to so may changes throughout this year.”

As a student at VSU, Roberson earned Dean’s List honors every semester.

Roberson also enjoyed a number of opportunities to engage in research activities with her classmates and faculty. Two of her favorite topics were “How Ethics Affect Profits” and “Various Leadership Styles and Their Effects on Job Satisfaction.” She believes the knowledge gained through these transformational learning moments will help her as she aspires to become the chief executive officer of a hospital or healthcare organization in the future.

She served patients at Partnership Health Center, a charitable clinic that provides medical services, dental services, and medication assistance for the uninsured. She conducted food drives to support individuals and families who struggle to access affordable, nutritious food on a regular basis. She helped organize an emergency supplies drive to provide some relief to the people of The Bahamas who were impacted by Hurricane Dorian in 2019.
