Established by members of his family, the Colton William Roberts Scholarship for Geosciences and a planned distinguished professorship will support generations of students and faculty exploring a field that captured Colton’s imagination. “He was always curious, and he maintained that kind of childlike curiosity and wonder,” said his mother, Tanya Roberts. He was the one who didn’t squash the spider on the playground but rather studied it.”His father, Bill Roberts, loved his son’s ability to care for others. We thank the Roberts family for their generous donations.”The Roberts family plans to continue fundraising efforts for the scholarship fund. I think Colton would be excited for that.”Bill and Tanya want to keep their son’s presence alive.
