Robinson Hall
 |
Built in 2006, Robinson Hall still has the unspoiled freshness of being the newest residence hall on campus and was designed with today's student in mind: providing plenty of places for hanging out with friends while retaining a quiet atmosphere for studying and resting. It is my prayer that you will find your place in our Robinson Hall family.
Kim Crowe-Tuttle
Resident Director, F.E. Robinson Hall ("The Palace")
Hometown: Originally Auburndale, FL; but Dayton, TN, is my hometown now!Education: BA in Christian Education from Bryan College and MS in Management from Liberty University
Favorite candy: Dark chocolate
Sports: Football (I love FSU and the Miami Dolphins)
Hobbies: Watching movies, party/event planning, decorating
Where I want to travel: Ireland, England, Alaska, Oregon, and Washington (the only three U.S. states I haven’t visited)
A word that best describes me: Ebullient
A random fact about myself: I am a certified scuba diver and nationally certified baseball coach
An interesting fact about my building: “North Hall” – as it was popularly referred to – opened its doors to students during August of 2006, but didn’t receive its official name until March of 2007.
My best residence life memory from college: Hanging out with friends – usually in the Lion's Den - playing UNO or video games or shooting pool or just spending time talking about life, hopes/dreams, and the nature of God.
My passions: People and communication
Something I want to do before I die: Parachute
What made me want to be an RD: I love challenging students to apply their Christianity to everyday choices as I build relationships with them. As an RD, I have the opportunity to do this in various ways: holding students accountable for their choices, providing a sympathetic or empathetic ear when needed, speaking the Truth in love, modeling a balanced yet realistic lifestyle which includes my struggles and failures as well as my successes, encouraging leadership and support skills, teaching everyday life lessons, and providing a “mom-perspective” when needed.
What I love about Bryan: As a former student (alumnus) and current employee I particularly love that our motto and purpose have remained the same: to provide a solid, applicable Biblical foundation to students which forces them to THINK deeply and use what they learn. Because Bryan is a close community that encourages faculty, staff, and students to develop close relationships which allows them the opportunities to sharpen and stretch each other.

Favorite Bible verses: Philippians 4:4-9 – “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
