Jacob Roberts missed playing with the band at Jamestown High School while distance learning last year during the coronavirus pandemic. But for the tenor drummer who wanted to write his own cadences, it turned out to be the perfect time to start creating - and dreaming - big.
Now, the 17-year-old junior at JHS has five copyrighted pieces to his credit in the Library of Congress and has self-published his percussion music for purchase through jwpepper.com, a popular website to find sheet music.
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (UJ) – On May 10, 2021, University of Jamestown held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening and naming of their new building, the Schuler Engineering Lab.
Brett Moser, UJ’s Vice President of Alumni Relations, Development and Marketing, said, “This state-of -the-art engineering lab came to life because of the Schuler family’s generous gift. We are grateful for their dedication to our campus, as well as their ongoing commitment to scholarships for our engineering students.”
UJ began construction on what is now the Schuler Engineering Lab in the spring of 2018, after the University decided to add a mechanical engineering major to their undergraduate program. The new building, which is attached to Sorkness Hall, is home to the senior engineering lab and contains manufacturing, welding, and 3D printing equipment that seniors use to work on their final projects.
