Robinson, with extensive academic experience, positions the institution for success.
His leadership involves a multi-campus teaching initiative, emphasizing UWI expertise exposure, and enforcing a foreign language policy.
Beyond academics, Robinson engages in public service roles, contributing to various organizations.
