Genevieve, Missouri, on the banks of the Mississippi River, Chris Roberts\u2019 future was destined for the music industry. His father owned a music store and Roberts spent hundreds of hours and many summers in the shop. But that all changed in a chemistry class during Roberts\u2019 freshman year of college.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cMy professor pulled me aside one day and frankly asked me, \u2018What are you doing?\u2019 and I said \u2018What do you mean? I\u2019m trying to survive your class,\u2019\u201d Roberts said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">The professor and Roberts then went back to the professor\u2019s office where he outlined Roberts\u2019 skillset and how he could affect positive change as a chemical engineer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cHe recognized that I had potential that I didn\u2019t see in myself,\u201d Roberts said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Since that moment, Roberts has dedicated his life to creating those same life-changing moments for students who are like him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI\u2019ve spent my whole life trying to emulate him,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cThat was very motivating for me to know that you could recognize in a young person something and to motivate them to achieve beyond even what they thought was their potential.\u201d<a href=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-students.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8603\" src=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-students.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1364\" height=\"909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-students.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-students-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-students-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-students-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-students-75x50.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1364px) 100vw, 1364px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>From Touchdown Jesus to Touchdown Auburn<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">After earning his bachelor\u2019s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Missouri, the born-and-raised Catholic made the move to the University of Notre Dame to pursue his master\u2019s and doctoral degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">During his time as a doctoral student, his Notre Dame professors also saw his academic potential and highly encouraged him to pursue a career in academics. When the time came, Roberts began interviewing at numerous institutions, but it was at the advice of his brother, Steve, to interview at a special place called Auburn University. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI knew of Auburn through athletics, but I really didn\u2019t know much about it as an academic institution,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cI don\u2019t know exactly why my brother knew so much about Auburn, but he did. When I came to campus, I fell in love with the place. I instantly felt connected to Auburn.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">During his interview on The Plains, someone handed Roberts a copy of the Auburn Creed. That night, while in his hotel room, he pulled out the copy and began to read it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThis is an institution that has a stated set of values and doesn\u2019t shy away from it,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cFrankly, coming out of the University of Notre Dame, I had a deep appreciation for an institution who knew who it was. It\u2019s a differentiator for Auburn, and the Auburn people own it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Roberts quickly knew Auburn is where he wanted to be. Even though he had not been offered the job yet, he called home and told his father this was the place for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Years later, Roberts was invited to Notre Dame to deliver a speech to graduating doctoral students. During the event, he read the Auburn Creed to the graduates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI hoped even they would identify it with parts of their lives that connect with their own set of values. Auburn has done that for me,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cI hope to help continue to make Auburn an institution where our students and alumni identify with the university through these ideals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-party.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8604\" src=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-party.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1374\" height=\"916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-party.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-party-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-party-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-party-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-party-75x50.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1374px) 100vw, 1374px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>A Vision Fulfilled<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Roberts joined Auburn University\u2019s Department of Chemical Engineering as an assistant professor in 1994. Within a decade, he was named as the department\u2019s chair in 2003, as well as the Uthlaut Professor. Similarly, less than a decade later, he was named dean of the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering in 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">As he looks back at each of those tenures, he still sees himself as that professor making an impact in students\u2019 lives. It\u2019s at his core.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThat\u2019s where my heart is. I loved interfacing with students at the frontier of technical challenges, innovation and their discovery and learning. It was a such a pleasure,\u201d Roberts said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">During his time as department chair, he began to experience a new joy, a joy similar to that of seeing his students excel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI learned to live vicariously through the successes of my colleagues, and was perhaps personally experiencing more joy watching my colleagues develop into master educators and master researchers,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cThat gave me confidence that we could have that effect across the college.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">As dean, Roberts led the College of Engineering through exponential growth in undergraduate and graduate enrollment; underrepresented student enrollment and graduation; faculty recruitment; alumni gifts and involvement; new research awards and grants; and facility additions and enhancements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">During his tenure, Roberts led and oversaw:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Growth in total enrollment of nearly 2,000 students <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Growth of new external research contracts by $55 million<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Growth in faculty by approximately 100 members<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Becoming a Top 25 producer of African American engineering graduates<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Growth of female enrollment to more than 22%<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Launching the 100+ Women Strong program<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Launching the Young Alumni Council<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Fundraising a record $65 million in donor funds in 2015-16<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Construction of the $44 million, 142,000-square-foot Brown-Kopel Center<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Renovation of the Textile Building into the Gavin Research Laboratory<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Construction of the Gavin Garden<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Renovation of Broun Hall to include the Davidson Pavilion<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Construction of the $22 million Advanced Structural Engineering Laboratory<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"> \u2022 Acquisition of the Auburn University Research and Innovation Campus in Huntsville<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-and-students-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8605\" src=\"http:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-and-students-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1295\" height=\"863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-and-students-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-and-students-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-and-students-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-and-students-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ecm.eng.auburn.edu\/wp\/emag\/files\/2022\/05\/chris-and-students-2-75x50.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1295px) 100vw, 1295px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cMy time as dean has illustrated to me, and I hope others, that we can do really ambitious things at Auburn while staying true to who we are,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cWhat I\u2019m most proud of is that we did this together. It took a lot of people \u2014 a lot of people \u2014 to come together with a shared vision and a desire to make an impact.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">In February 2022, after a national search, Roberts was named as Auburn University\u2019s 21st president. He assumed the role in May, succeeding Jay Gogue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI didn\u2019t wake up one day and just decide I want to pursue the presidency at Auburn, but rather over the course of the past 28 years that I\u2019ve been here I think I\u2019ve developed a deep appreciation and understanding of the institution and a desire to see it reach its full potential,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cI\u2019m convinced that, in this new role, we\u2019ll be able to take on ambitious things and really further propel Auburn as a preeminent land grant university, while at the same time doing it in a uniquely Auburn way. I think that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been able to hone over these years as a professor, department chair and dean here on this campus. Auburn is an amazing university with tremendous potential for greatness, and I hope to help us reach that full potential.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">And while the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering will always be thankful of the role Roberts played in making the college the best student-centered engineering experience in America where everyone is made to feel welcomed, valued, respected and engaged, those in the college are comforted and confident that the entire university will soon experience the same upward trajectory felt on the engineering campus. Or, as you could say, it\u2019s music to their ears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI\u2019m really honored to have this opportunity. It\u2019s the honor of a lifetime to serve Auburn in this truly unique way. There\u2019s nowhere else I would like to do this than right here,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cAnd I can rest easy knowing the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering is a great college with strong leadership across the board with amazing world-class faculty members and a high-achieving student body. Knowing what I know about this next generation of faculty and students across this college, watch out! Auburn is on the rise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>SURPRISE!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Walt and Ginger Woltosz are among the university\u2019s most ardent and dedicated supporters, so it was no surprise to everyone when they gave $5 million to the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering to support the construction and programming of the Brown-Kopel Student Achievement Center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Well, almost everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Christopher B.

The area, which serves as the front door to the college, is now known as the Christopher B. Roberts Grand Atrium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The space was initially named by the college in honor of the Woltoszes, but Walt wanted to name the space after the person who had the vision to make the facility a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">During the Brown-Kopel Center\u2019s dedication ceremony in 2019, President Jay Gogue mentioned during his remarks that the facility was Roberts\u2019 vision, and that spurred the Woltoszes to make the generous gesture. Although COVID postponed the Woltoszes being able to formally recognize the name change, they were finally able to unveil it in front of a packed house of Auburn alumni, administration, faculty, staff and students. Interim Dean Steve Taylor presided over the event, which featured speakers Gogue, Board of Trustee member Mike DeMaioribus, Interim Provost Vini Nathan, Engineering Assistant Dean and Director of Student Services Janet Moore and the Woltoszes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cChris had this vision for a student achievement center, and I wish we had known that before it was too late and all the names were put up,\u201d said Walt, who earned a bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree in aerospace engineering from Auburn in 1969 and 1977, respectively, and an honorary doctorate from the university in 2021. \u201cWell, Chris, it\u2019s not too late.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A visibly stunned Roberts gasped as the drapes were pulled back, revealing the formal name change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThis was an entire college project. This was probably the best project I\u2019ve ever worked on, by a really significant margin,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cBut now, to know that you have done this, Walt and Ginger, I just can\u2019t tell you how much I appreciate it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper2\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Spotlight Gallery\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/auburnengineers\/51997484376\/in\/set-72177720298033584\/player\/\" width=\"300\" height=\"396\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Dean Chris Roberts was selected as Auburn University&#8217;s 21st president in February, and he assumed the role in May. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":8610,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Auburn President &raquo;
