Robin Martin




Robin Martin, who has three years of experience as a Director of Athletics and over twelve years of experience in the field of athletics, took over as the University of Cincinnati's Associate AD and Senior Woman Administrator in August 2007. Martin currently manages 9 of the 18 intercollegiate sport programs and provides supervision for Compliance, Academics and Life Skills.
Prior to coming to UC, Martin was the Director of Athletics at Holy Names University, where she was the first African-American woman to ever hold the position. There, she was the oversight of 10 intercollegiate sports programs, intramurals and recreation and served as the facilities manager. Under her leadership, the HNU athletic department produced four conference championships, four conference MVP's, three regional championship appearances and the department sent two athletes to the NAIA National tournament in Cross Country.
Prior to her leadership efforts at Holy Names, Martin served as the Athletic Director and Head Women's basketball at Dillard University in New Orleans, where under her direction the department garnered one of the highest student-athlete graduation rates in the nation (90 percent). After Hurricane Katrina devastated the Dillard University community, Martin was instrumental in re-establishing order and organization for the Dillard Athletic Department. Martin was honored for these efforts by the National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors for the dedication and perseverance she displayed during this time. It is this kind of commitment and dedication that Martin brings with her to the UC Athletic Department.
A former women's basketball player at the University of New Orleans, Martin received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a Master's degree in Education. Martin plans to pursue her doctoral degree in the field of Educational Leadership.
