Remembering Jordan Robinson

We are deeply saddened to share that Jordan Robinson, a sophomore on our Pleasantville Campus, passed away on February 13, 2022. Jordan was a proud brother of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and involved with many student organizations, including the Black Student Union and Students of Caribbean Awareness. He was a former member of our Setters football team. He was a beloved son and brother. He was an aspiring entrepreneur who owned his own design business. And he was a supportive friend and classmate and a valued member of our Pace family.⁠

Many in our community have asked how we lost Jordan. The Mount Pleasant Police Department, who are in charge of investigating such matters, and who responded to our campus along with EMS, has advised that they are classifying what happened as a medical emergency, awaiting the medical examiner’s determination.

Jordan’s death is devastating and he will be deeply missed. Please join us in extending all our most heartfelt sympathies and condolences to Jordan’s family and friends during this extraordinarily difficult time.
