Shane Robinson stepped into his new role as head of the Oklahoma State University Department of Agricultural Education, Communications and Leadership on June 1.

Robinson, a Hollis, Oklahoma, native, grew up in a household of teachers, allowing him to discover a passion for teaching and mentoring. As a youth livestock exhibitor, he found a love for agriculture, which led him to a career path that combined both passions.

Robinson received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in agricultural studies from the Ferguson College of Agriculture and earned a doctorate in agricultural education from the University of Missouri. An OSU faculty member since 2007, he has taught courses in agricultural education and graduate studies.
