"Challenger's Boys and Girls Club was fortunate to have Mr. Robertson present Writing As A Tool of Empowerment to our teen program. He surrounded the children with the tools and provided them with the vehicles needed to pursue a career in journalism. It was an experience that opened opportunity for some and provided a knowledge base for others."
Deric Daniels, Teen Director - Challenger's Boy and Girls Club

"Writing As A Tool of Empowerment engages students with the tool and resources they need to succeed. I strongly endorse this program and I urge you to support as well."

Gil: I thought you did a great job. Every voice telling kids to think/plan ahead leads them more to understanding the huge connection between what we're doing in classes and what they'll be doing in career.
- Professor Randy Salzman, Virginia Union Univeristy

Mr. Robertson,
I truly appreciate your willingness to share your Robertson Treatment Journalism Seminar with students at Edward Waters College. In fact, we are still discussing your workshop in my mass communication classes. I referred to Chapter 5 in your book for them to learn more about query letters in order to pitch story ideas to local magazines and newspapers. As a result of your seminar, students have been writing letters to campus administrators and the business community for more support. They were really moved.
- Jamye L. Bradford, Communications Chairperson
