 A Central Lakes College graduate took home some hardware last week at the State of Minnesota Trio Conference. Rob Robinson was one of two people to receive the prestigious achievers award at the conference held on April 4th. Trio is a program at colleges and universities across the country that provide academic services and assistance to first generation low income and disabled students. The two winners were selected from 69 Trio programs around the state and Rob is only the second CLC student for the grad to receive the award. Rob's story is evident and continues to be told at CLC. When Rob Robinson came to our program, he was in the second year here as a student. He officially was a student athlete, came here to play football and then realized that academics was a little higher on his priority list than he had originally realized. Because of that he came and saw us out in the Trio program realizing that we could help support him along the way on his academic journey. After graduating from CLC with an associate of arts degree, Rob went to graduate from the College of St. Scholastica with two bachelor degrees and currently works as a case manager at a local treatment center.
