ROBINSON EDUCATES AT HEALTH CENTER

Floyd Robinson, director of UH’s Health Center, recalls the words of his former employer, the headmaster of Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania.

“He told me right before I left the school, ‘Once an educator, always an educator,’” said Robinson, a recipient of a 2005 Staff Excellence Award. Those words have held true for Robinson, as he serves not only as the center’s senior administrator, but also as an educator.

“It’s a great privilege to educate the college campus about various health issues,” said Robinson, who also frequently speaks to community organizations such as the Urban League.

During his 11-year tenure at UH, Robinson has added new clinic services to the health center, including a men’s clinic and full-time psychiatrists.

Kathy Anderson, chief pharmacist at the Health Center, said, “Besides my own father, I can think of no other man I respect more.”

Staff Excellence Award winners receive a certificate and a $1,000 check.
