Sharon L. Robinson, Emerita Faculty

After Sharon Robinson spent 40 years changing students’ lives as a professor in FSU’s Department of Accounting, her colleagues in the College of Business were not about to let her retire without a proper celebration. But preferring to avoid a big fuss in her honor, she instead invited her friends and colleagues to make contributions to the Sharon L. Robinson Presidential Merit Scholarship in Accounting. “I thought it would be a better use of everyone’s money to help the students,” she said. “You spend your whole career focusing on students, and when you go out, you hope that can continue. I think it is important to focus on giving. I think the students will benefit from it, and that is what I want.”
