Dr. Lavan R. Robinson

Dr. Lavan R. Robinson, the beloved mentor to the Zeta Gamma chapter, and VSU Professor Emeritus celebrated his 91st birthday today. Dr. Robinson holds a special place in all Sinfonians hearts for being the oldest living member of our noble order. In Addition to being one of the kindest and loving people you could ever meet, he represents a wealth of knowledge and life experience. Having greatly inspired the brothers  of the Zeta Gamma chapter, they are now in their 6th year of hosting a music scholarship in Dr. Robinson’s name. Dr. Robinson is happily married and currently resides in Valdosta, GA.
