Ann Robinson-Craig Retires
After 32 years of devoted service, our stalwart and beloved Ann Robinson-Craig has taken well-deserved retirement.
She served mostly as the chief budget director of the College of Arts and Sciences, and in the last two years as the business manager of the shared administrative services team assisting the Departments of Classics, Philosophy, and Religious Studies, always giving it her all, and then some.
A history major, she is a fervent believer in the mission of the College of Arts and Sciences, and she has dedicated her career to making it flourish. The entire college has benefited greatly from her wisdom, expertise, and immense knowledge of UT’s finances and administration. During her two short years as our business manager, she has shaped the shared services team into a cohesive, efficient unit.
In addition to all this, she has endowed together with her husband, Professor Emertius Chris Craig, scholarships to support the training of future Latin high school teachers. We are immensely grateful for all she has done for us. It is no exaggeration to say that throughout her career, Ann has been saxum nostrum (“our rock”). For her amazing accomplishments, she has received the Chancellor’s 2023 Volunteer Spirit Award, the highest honor given by UT to a staff member. We wish her and Chris many happy years in retirement.
