Extending a Christian Worldview
"We think everyone should go to
University of Sioux Falls," says
Dr. Bob Roberts, who along with
his wife, Betty Jo, have adopted
the University as their own. "We
see it as being unique in its goals of
imparting a Christian world vision,
spreading the Word throughout
the world, and educating students
along the lines of modern science,
literature, and faith."
"We didn't attend the University, but we got involved because we
have
several cousins who have attended there and now our granddaughter is
a student," Betty Jo says. "We've been very impressed by the
faculty and
student connection. They really love and care for one another and reach
out to the community."
In addition to the availability
and affability of the staff, Bob
and Betty Jo appreciate the
University's ambition.
"The University is aggressive
in searching for answers and
pursuing its mission," Bob says.
One of the University's goals that the Roberts have supported financially
is the understanding of how theology and science can work together
through the LSI Forum for Conversations in Theology and Science.
"We felt privileged to participate in and support the lectures that show
that science and religion are not enemies," Bob says.
In addition to making donations for current programs such as the
lecture series and children's books for a local school, the Roberts have
also decided to include USF in their estate plans.
"Anything we have has been given to us by God," Betty Jo says.
"We've decided to treat USF as one of our children and give a portion
of our estate to the University so that it can go on touching people's
lives long after we're gone."
