I remember Emily saying once, "Ya know...you are one of my few students at CoA who dares to call me Emily....and I LIKE IT!!!" One of the greatest qualities this woman had, aside from her genuine kindness, was how very down to earth she was. Emily was a great advisor and mentor to me during my CoA days in Manteo - she helped me find my way and, no matter how busy, was always willing to spend a few moments to chat.

Doctor Robertson was my SGA advisor for the Dare Campus at COA, my mentor, and my friend. We shared a many of tears and goodtimes. She was one of the people that made me who I am today She loved the Redskins. Eventhough I was a Cowboy fan, she stil loved me the same. I will always remember her and cheerish the memories that we had. Doc, I will miss you and to the family may God be with you in this time of sadness. Be Blessed.

Emily was a unique, caring, and unforgettable person.
I have so many wonderful memories (and funny stories!) of attending graduate school together at William and Mary, where we earned our doctorates in Higher Education Administration. (Only Emily could pull off a particular class presentation on higher education marketing dressed in a chicken suit!)
Any person who has known Emily will always remember her zest for life, her living faith, and her compassion for others.
