About Jay Roberts
I am the Provost and Dean of the Faculty at Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina. In July of 2026, I will begin my tenure as Head of School at the Athenian School in Danville, California. Prior to my position at Warren Wilson, I served as the Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs and Professor of Education at Earlham College where my work focused on strategic academic and experiential learning initiatives. I am a fellow with the American Council on Education (ACE), class of 2019-20, and a Board member at the North Carolina Outward Bound School. My academic scholarship and writing centers on the intersections of education, culture, and environment. I am the author of three books, Beyond Learning by Doing (2011), and Experiential Education in the College Context (2016), and Risky Teaching (2021), all published by Routledge Press.
