Admissions welcomes Roberson
0Written By Tori Doyle
Bringing in the new year was extra special for UPIKE alumnus, David Roberson of Aiken, S.C. He accepted a position on campus as the newest admissions counselor.
Initially, David came to the University of Pikeville on a football scholarship. During his career on the field he was twice named First Team All Mid-South Conference as an offensive tackle, and later helped lead the Bears to their first MSC Championship!
In 2017, David graduated from the Coleman College of Business with a business administration degree.
But his story as a Bear doesn’t stop there. Roberson was offered a GA position where he helped coach the sport he loves so much while obtaining his MBA.
“I decided to work here because I wanted to give back. I can tell kids my story to show them how I got to this point in my life. I want to help others the way I was helped and show them that getting your degree is an investment,” Roberson said.
He is excited to further his career as a UPIKE Bear and hopes to encourage prospects that UPIKE is the place for them. Roberson can be located on the first floor of the Administration building, or can be contacted through email, davidroberson@upike.edu.
