Daune Robin
International student D.A. Robin covered environment, public policy and development for newspapers as a reporter on his native St. Maarten before attending Florida A&M. There, Robin saw first-hand the consequences of poor environmental policy, and befriended several men and women who were fighting to reverse the damage. Since starting at FAMU in January 2011, Robin has joined the university's Green Coalition (FGC), a student group that champions sustainability and environmental livelihood among FAMU students, and Tallahassee in general. He also serves as Multimedia/Online Editor for The FAMUAN, the university's student-run newspaper. Robin hopes to pool his experience as a journalist, photographer and actor to advocate the green economy and environmental justice movements. He looks forward to being the voice through which FAMU students can channel their worries about the environment as one of FAMU's Green 4 All Ambassadors 2011-2012. For fun, Robin skates, sketches, writes and takes pictures. He is also developing his skills in the kitchen.
Korbin Miles
Korbin Miles is a third year public relations student at Florida A&M University. Korbin has been actively involved with his university ever since stepping foot on campus in the fall of 2009. Korbin served as a senator in the Student Government Association and this pass year he was appointed Student Relations Chairman for the 2010-2011 academic school year. Being in the student senate has given him the opportunity to start his own green movement on campus “Eco-Rattler” which he describes as a campus- wide initiative to push the students to live ecologically sustainable lifestyles. Through his work in the environmental movement last year he was selected as a Young People For the American Way fellow, which provided him with extensive training and guidance to further his activism in the environmental movement and help him create lasting change in his community.
