Greensboro, NC (05/06/2024) — Greensboro College has named Rev. Dr. Robert Brewer, Assistant Professor of Religion, as its Moore Professor for 2023-2024.

Rev. Brewer is a United Methodist minister and serves as the Campus Chaplain and a professor of religion at Greensboro College since 2005. Robert received his Doctor of Theology in homiletics from the University of Toronto. At Greensboro College he oversees religious life and community service, and teaches courses in spiritual development, hermeneutics, homiletics, Methodism, and juggling.

Since he arrived in 2005, Robert Brewer has been the driving force behind Greensboro College's Village 401, a community service initiative to link students, faculty and staff with people and organizations in the 27401 zip code. Programs he has helped create over the years include the Village 401 Community Partner Day; an Earth Day Celebration; Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week; and the Gate City Soup Bowl. Brewer has been especially instrumental in helping Greensboro College sustain their three longest running events: 1) Project Leap, an Easter Party, 2) Neewollah, a Halloween event, and 3) Angel Tree, a Christmas event which annually bring children from the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club to campus for games and activities, goodies, or gifts.

Most recently, Rev. Brewer was selected as the 2024 Civic Engagement Professional of the Year Award by the North Carolina Campus Engagement.

The Moore Professor Award is presented annually at Commencement to a member of the college's full-time faculty for the subsequent academic year. It recognizes an outstanding accomplishment or set of accomplishments, such as the publication of a scholarly work, the creation or performance of an artistic work, meritorious service to the college, or recognition by a professional organization.

Greensboro College provides a liberal arts education grounded in the traditions of the United Methodist Church and fosters the intellectual, social, and, spiritual development of all students while supporting their individual needs.

Founded in 1838 and located in downtown Greensboro, the college enrolls about 1,000 students from 29 states and territories, the District of Columbia, and a dozen foreign countries in its undergraduate liberal-arts program and six master's degree programs.

In addition to rigorous academics and a well-supported Honors program, the school features a 17-sport NCAA Division III athletic program and dozens of service and recreational opportunities.
