Obama nominates FAMU administrator Robinson as assistant secretary of commerce |
|
Larry Robinson, Florida A&M’s vice president for research, may soon add another title to his name.
President Barack Obama nominated Robinson to the post of assistant secretary of commerce. The job will require Robinson to be responsible for conservation and management at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “I am grateful that these distinguished men and women have chosen to join my administration as we work to bring about real change for the American people,” said President Obama in a news release announcing the nomination of Robinson and five others Friday. The U.S. Senate must confirm Robinson’s nomination. A professor in the Environmental Sciences Institute, Robinson has been an administrator at FAMU since 1997. He has links with the agency where he is headed. He is director of NOAA’s Environmental Cooperative Science Center headquarters on the FAMU campus. |
