Roberts Wesleyan University is committed to preparing thoughtful, mature, service-oriented people who will help transform society. Students extend their influence through community partnerships. The Community Engagement Award supports Roberts Wesleyan’s partnership with the Gates Fire District and their goal of improving community relations. A one-time incentive award of $1,000.00, it is presented to a graduating senior of Gates Chili High School who plans to attend Roberts Wesleyan in the Fall and who has been selected by the Gates Fire District for his or her commitment to our community.
This year’s recipient is Sebastian Guerrero Pena. Sebastian came to the United States from the Dominican Republic. He was involved in missionary work in his native country and has served as the captain of both the boys’ varsity soccer team and the soccer club. A business major, Sebastian currently works part-time at the food court at RIT. Sebastian’s willingness to serve others and function in leadership positions exemplifies the Roberts Wesleyan student model and the community-minded nature of the American fire service. Roberts Wesleyan University and the Gates Fire District are honored to present the first-ever Community Engagement Award to a most-deserving student, Sebastian Guerrero Pena. Congratulations, Sebastian!
