Our Work With Clients

University Strategic Consultation

In October, 2015 the Robeson Group (RG) provided targeted consulting services to clients at Hampton University. One project focused on developing research study recruitment tools and materials for Heart Strong a a community-based health intervention study affiliated with the NIH funded Minority Men’s Health Initiative. The RG also developed materials for a Brown Bag Lecture Series hosted by the Psychology Department as part of the course Race, Racism and Resistance: From Baltimore to Charleston and Beyond…

K-5 Charter School

The RG conducted a series of workshops in late 2013 for over 500 students and faculty at Torchlight Academy, a K-5 Charter School in Raleigh, NC. The focus of the workshops was to expose students to science concepts that they had not had much exposure to in the past. Topics included the building blocks of life, known in Chemistry as “CHNOPS” and creating chemical reactions during an experimental segment where students got to mix various substances and observe the results of each mixture.

Professional Editorial Services

The RG provided detailed editorial and graphical layout services for the 382 page book The Unlikely Saga of a Singer from Ann Arbor: The Autobiography of Willis C. Patterson, Basso, which is also available from Maize Books, an imprint of Michigan Publishing, University of Michigan Library. The well-written and inspiring text recounts the life experiences and accomplishments of Dr. Willis C. Patterson, the University of Michigan School of Music’s first Black professor and Associate Dean.

Media & Research Consultation

The RG has consulted for a variety of University faculty members in both Community-Based Research and Music Performance Programs and Workshops. Services have included documentary film, website design, data analysis and research design, manuscript writing and strategic planning. Selected clients include: the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, the University of Michigan, the African American Cultural Museum (Detroit, MI), Morgan State University (Baltimore, MD), and the Medical University of South Carolina.

What Our Clients & Friends Said About Us

"...An intellectual curiosity that I find rare."

[Romanieo Sr.'s] diplomacy and speaking demeanor would be welcomed in any classroom in higher education. He is a very intelligent person, a measured speaker, a good listener, and one that begins to make the people around him “better,” through his subtle “teaching” manners.

James Ketch, M.S. Prof. & Former Chair, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Department of Music

"An indispensable thinker..."

...able to interface effectively with architects and campus IT officials as we approach a $15,000,000 renovation of Hill Hall. In short, Romanieo Golphin [Sr.] has ushered our unit into the 21st Century in a most seamless and non-threatening manner.

James Ketch, M.S. Prof. & Former Chair, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Music

"...have developed a vision of providing quality scientific education to children."

As the Robeson Group named for legendary pioneer Paul Robeson, they are developing strategies and a curriculum to develop the next generation of scientific minds ... As a team they have successfully homeschooled their now six-year old genius son, Romanieo, Jr. who can articulate concepts of science and music on an advanced college level.

Louise Toppin, DMA Professor & Chair, Department of Music, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

"I was deeply impressed..."

...by what you've accomplished with your son. It brilliantly illustrates what we can do for children if we ... educate more children without extinguishing the flames of curiosity AND ability (as you've demonstrated so elegantly), we can raise children with much greater scientific literacy.

Derrick Pitts, Sc.D. Planetarium Director & Chief Astronomer, The Franklin Institute

"He's a true Mozart"

I can say I have never met anyone like him (Romanieo Jr). Categorically never! He's a true Mozart.

James Moeser, Ph.D. Chancellor Emeritus, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
