Dean Darlyne Bailey of the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research welcomed family, friends, colleagues, and students of the late Dr. Kevin J. Robinson to a celebration of his life and work at Bryn Mawr on Sunday, March 14th, 2010 in Thomas Great Hall.
Kevin Robinson joined the Bryn Mawr faculty in 2007. A public-health researcher, he studied HIV and AIDS-prevention education, as well as the impact of social inequality on access to health care. Students and colleagues were quickly won over by his easygoing, sympathetic manner and his irreverent sense of humor; impressed by his innovative approaches to his work; and inspired by his commitment to serving the communities he studied. President McAuliffe recalled his receiving a special honor at Commencement last May, the Alexander Grance Hawkins Lectureship in Social Work, as “reflecting the unusual promise that Bryn Mawr saw in Kevin’s contributions to this academic community.”
Gifts in Robinson’s memory may be made payable to Bryn Mawr College - in the notation area on the check add Kevin J. Robinson Scholarship Fund - and mailed to Resources Office, Bryn Mawr College, 101 North Merion Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010.
