Rockhurst Community Highlights

Students

Ben Winbinger had experience with robotics. Through middle school and high school, the sophomore cybersecurity major built custom robots for competition as part of a team. It was an experience that helped him on the path to his major at Rockhurst. But when it came time to look for a community work study position through Rockhurst University helping mentor younger students in robotics wasn’t an opportunity he knew existed.

Faculty

Yu Liu, Ph.D., associate professor of chemistry, knows that organic chemistry has a bit of a reputation. It’s an innately difficult subject; a crucible for generations of science majors at Rockhurst. Despite being the face of what many consider Rockhurst’s most difficult class, Liu was named Faculty of the Year by students at the Festival of Student Achievement in April 2024.

Alumni

Jacob Scallorn, ’15, has a lot to be thankful for — and he’ll be the first to admit it. About 15 years ago, he was a deep in the cycle of addiction. But then something amazing happened — Scallorn said he entered rehab and it changed not just his physical health, but his mental wellbeing. He began to say “yes” to doing hard things and to devoting time and effort to accomplishing goals.
