Jeffrey Robinson, Ph.D
Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc.
Dr. Jeffrey Robinson has certainly carried on the tradition of leadership and excellence started by the founders of Alpha Phi Alpha. As a member for the past 16 years, a life member and a current member of the Theta Psi Lambda Chapter in central New Jersey, Dr. Robinson serves as the president of the Sphinx Scholarship Fund, his chapter’s charitable foundation. That leadership is directly in line with his professional work as the provost and executive vice chancellor at Rutgers University in Newark. Dr. Robinson has held that position for the past year, having been with Rutgers for 15 years as a professor and the Prudential chair of business. In Newark, Dr. Robinson is also the board chair of the Support Center for Nonprofit Management, and a member of the board of Rising Tide Capital.
Why Alpha Phi Alpha?
“The history of leadership, excellence and civil rights that goes back 117 years. Martin Luther King, Thurgood Marshall, W.E.B. Dubois and so many other members created a legacy of community leadership and high standards stood out for me,” says Dr. Jeffrey Robinson.
