John Robinson-Miller IV is the inaugural Associate Director of the Center for African & African American Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. As an inclusion educator, he seeks to develop a grounded environment for others to build their understanding of cultural humility while advocating for the liberation of minoritized communities within systems of oppression. His life motto is “Adinkrahene. AYA. Sankofa.” (Lead. Endure. Remember.)

John holds a master’s in higher education administration and a bachelor’s in psychology with a concentration in arts entrepreneurship, both from North Carolina State University. Previous to this role, John brings a wealth of experience from Duke University, North Carolina State University, and Elon University. 

In his role, he has oversight of Black student services initiatives. John's professional philosophy is centered on the Ubuntu proverb, “I am because you are and, since you are, therefore, I am.” As a student-centered, intersectional practitioner, he has a passion for Black identity, organizational training, immersive programming, and integrating the Arts into his practice.
