Lansing Community College President

Dr. Steve Robinson will be recognized this month by the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society with the prestigious Paragon Award.

The Paragon Award highlights college presidents who have served in their role for less than three years and have shown support for students and their success. Nominations come directly from students on campus.

Robinson expressed his gratitude about receiving the award.

“This award is special because it comes from students,” Robinson said. “Students are the entire reason why we’re here, and our PTK students at LCC are amazing and do so much on campus.”

Since becoming LCC’s president, Robinson has constantly supported students by engaging and participating in student events and organizations.

“I love to be where our students are,” Robinson said. “I walk around campus and talk to students, attend student events, and also co-host the Vinyl Club at LCC.”

Robinson will be one of 28 college presidents to receive the honor during the PTK’s annual convention on Friday, April 21 in Columbus, Ohio
