Walter Robinson: Leader, Role Model, Change Agent at UC Davis and beyond.
Walter Robinson, who was the head of Undergraduate Admissions and the office of Enrollment Management at UC Davis, and an instrumental leader in building a more diverse student body, died Sunday (June 9) of heart failure at his home in Vallejo. He was 66.
