A day spent celebrating the opening of the Roberts Academy and Dyslexia Center at Vanderbilt University!
Namesakes Marjorie and Hal Roberts joined us to mark the occasion and to meet the staff and students of the school they established with their transformational gift.
After the diagnosis of their grandson's dyslexia, Marjorie & Hal Roberts uncovered a passion for helping children learn. Through their generous donation, the Roberts Academy and Dyslexia Center will prioritize learning and research to help children for years to come. #DareToGrow

Early support, like specialized teaching, can make a huge difference. Let’s ditch the stigma—dyslexia is just a different way of wiring, not a flaw.
