Smiles lit up the faces of gospel singers, Roberts, and all in attendance to commemorate a very special day.

"I love this university, what it stands for, the people who came before me, and the ones who are here now. I love that we've created an atmosphere where you are rooted to rise, and that's what happened for me," Roberts said.

The Robin Roberts Broadcast Media Center includes film, TV, radio studios, and control and editing rooms.
