Roberts and Northeastern Surpass Campaign Goal and Raise Over $44M

As we continue to celebrate all that God has done for the past 151 years, we are excited to announce that we have far exceeded our Legacy 150 Campaign goal, raising over 44 million dollars! As you may remember, in 2012, we began what is the largest campaign to date in the history of Roberts Wesleyan College and Northeastern Seminary, hoping to raise $42M with the idea to build the Crother’s Science & Nursing Center, grow enrollment, add more scholarships and increase the endowment for both institutions.

Grateful and Amazed at God’s Faithfulness

We recognize that it was only through partnership with faithful and generous donors – including alumni, friends and organizations – who believe in the missions of the College and Seminary, that we accomplished such an impressive goal and lasting legacy for both institutions. So for each one of you who participated in any way, we send a heartfelt thank you for your investment in transformational learning and Christian higher education.

Thank You for Your Commitment to Transforming Lives

In fact, we want to assure you that thanks to you and the lasting legacy of B.T. Roberts, Christian higher education is here to stay in Western New York. We are more than ever committed to the legacy and vision of our founder and continuing to do the work of transforming minds, hearts and lives through education and service.

Of course, there is more work to do, and we hope you will continue to give as a habit of the heart to enable generations of students to achieve their goal of education, transforming their lives in service to our communities and the world beyond. It is through you that we will ensure a legacy of hope, service and transformation.
