George R. Roberts (CMC '66, P '93)
Exemplary Service and Support for CMS Athletics
Roberts' commitment to CMS Athletics and excellence of the scholar-leader-athlete is unparalleled.

After graduating from CMC, Roberts became an amateur competitor in golf at the highest Pro-Am level and co-built Nanea, one of the world's top 100 courses. His inspiring vision for Roberts Pavilion, which opened in 2016, established the campus heart for community health, wellness, and recreation. For CMS scholar-leader-athletes, it serves as one of the nation's premier athletic facilities for training and competition. The Roberts Pavilion served as the host site for the 2023 NCAA Division III Women's Volleyball Championship. The Sports Bowl will fuel future world-class competition by providing fields for baseball, softball, football, lacrosse, track and field, and soccer, as well as training facilities for golf and cross country. In addition to his Hall of Fame Induction, Roberts will be awarded an honorary varsity letter in the sport of Men's Golf, recognizing his excellence on the course.
