Robin Roberts, co-anchor of “Good Morning America,” was presented the Lew Klein Excellence in the Media Award at the School of Communication and Theater’s annual luncheon yesterday, Oct. 21.

After the luncheon, Roberts stopped by Annenberg hall to talk to current students about her job and experiences.

Roberts told attendees that her first love was always for sports, but being a woman in the field made it harder for her to get started in sports journalism.

Roberts went on to tell short ancedotes, including one in which she received a call from Temple alumnus Bill Cosby.

Throughout the presentation, Roberts encouraged students and current seniors to be confident when entering the job market.

While many students voiced concerns about finding jobs, Roberts told students to remain optimistic.

“This too shall pass,” Roberts reminded students.
