Dr. Roberts is a Professor of Catholic Studies and Director of the University Honors College at Duquesne University. Embodying Duquesne’s educational vision of “informing the mind, engaging the heart and invigorating the spirit”, she believes that the proper place for encountering God lies in the ever-lasting changing situations of life.

Dr. Roberts has won numerous honors for teaching and service, including the Presidential Scholarship Award as well as the Eugene P. Beard Award for leadership in Ethics at Duquesne. She truly lives the Spartan motto: Spiritus est qui vivificat, “It is the Spirit who gives Life"
