It's a 'must mark the calendar' event." That's what Mary Beth Ingram, sophomore, Huntington, N.Y., said in anticipation of ABC News' Good Morning America Anchor Robin Roberts, one of the guest speakers who will be speaking at the Edgerton Theatre on Feb. 8, at 7 p.m., in honor of Black History month.
"I'm really excited that Robin is coming to speak at Sacred Heart. I've been a big fan of Good Morning America for years, and look forward to seeing her in person," said Matt Miller, junior, Hillsborough, N.J.
Roberts, who grew up in Pass Christian, Miss. and attended Southeastern Louisiana University, was greatly impacted by the devastation of her hometown by Hurricane Katrina. She has been a major supporter for Hurricane Katrina relief and has anchored a sequence of reports on its behalf.
In addition, Roberts has also worked on the AIDS crisis in Africa. She traveled there with Bill Clinton to give her viewers a "first-hand look" at what was going on in that region. She has also worked with sports casting for ESPN in the past and has won three Emmy Awards for her work.
Students are very excited about seeing her.
"I've seen Robin Roberts perform live on Good Morning America and her enthusiasm and passion for her work really shows in her performance on T.V. It's going to be nice having her come to Sacred Heart," said Lisa Isoldi, senior, West Islip, N.Y.
Tickets are still available at the Student Life office located upstairs in the Hawley Lounge. Prices are: $3 for full-time undergraduate students, $5 for faculty/staff/alumni, and $10 for the general public.
