Various Visual Arts Scholarship

Robin Keller holds multiple degrees from Ramapo College: a bachelor’s in computer science, a bachelor degree in fine arts, and a master’s in business administration. She has worked at Ramapo College since 2001, when she started in the Information Technology department as a programmer. By 2016 she had advanced to the position of interim director of applications support. Ms. Keller is a member of the Contemporary Arts Alumni Advisory Board, an Alumni Ambassador with the Office of Admissions, a member and past president of the Friends of Ramapo, and served as vice president of the Professional Staff Association. She and her husband Kevin Keller have two children, Ian and Laura, both of whom are also Ramapo alumni.

In addition to a successful career as an IT specialist, Ms. Keller is also an accomplished artist. In 2014 she recognized a need to provide an outlet for fine arts alumni to show their work, and to share their professional experiences with current fine arts students. She created the Various Visual Artists program as an annual award, and started building the fund.

In 2016 Ms. Keller decided to endow the program, with the intent of encouraging and supporting the growth of Ramapo emerging artists, and to strengthen the ties between Ramapo alumni and current students who are artists.
