Arrington Robinson, born to parents Michael and Nia Robinson, is a Senior Biology Pre-Medicine major at Alcorn State University (ASU).

He stated, “I decided to run for Mister Alcorn because I wanted to bridge the gap between the administration and the student body and also represent Alcorn in the best way possible.” Robinson campaigned on the platform of the 3 P’s. Patient enough to make sure that our Historically Black College and University (HBCU) remains one of the top institutions in the nation. Passionate enough to continue to equip, empower and embellish all of the great minds that walk through the doors and be Persistent enough to see it through when times get hard. “I chose this platform because while growing up I was always taught the core values of staying patient, passionate and persistent,” stated Robinson.
