About the NomineeBrief Comments - What other facts should we know? ( MAX 500 characters) Robin has brought new meaning to distance learning. She is truly an innovator, but what sets her apart from so many is her compassion for those who must learn differently from the traditional student. Raising expectations and giving students the tools to reach those expectations should be recognized and celebrated!
