Dr. Luke P. Robins, chancellor of Louisiana Delta Community College since 2006, will serve as Peninsula College’s next president.

The Peninsula College Board of Trustees voted Tuesday to choose Robins as Dr. Thomas Keegan’s successor.

Prior to obtaining his position at Louisiana Delta Community Colelge, Robins held academic leadership positions at National Park Community College in Hot Springs, Ark., as executive vice president/chief academic officer and at Eastern Idaho Technical College in Idaho Falls, Idaho, as dean of instruction.

Since Keegan’s departure earlier this year, retired community college administrator Dr. Brinton Sprague has served as interim president and will continue to serve until this summer when Robins takes over.
