SHAMEEK C. ROBINSON MSEd, FOUNDER & CHIEF EDUCATION OFFICER (CEO)
Shameek C. Robinson is a nationally recognized education leader with more than two decades of experience advancing college access, postsecondary success, and equity for low-income, first-generation, and historically underserved students.
He is the Founder and Chief Education Officer of S.T.R.I.V.E. LLC (Success Through Radically Informed Values & Education), an education consulting firm dedicated to helping schools, districts, nonprofits, and postsecondary institutions design equity-centered strategies that translate values into measurable impact. Through S.T.R.I.V.E., he supports organizations in strengthening advising models, partnerships, and student success frameworks across the K–12 and higher education continuum.
In addition to his work through S.T.R.I.V.E., Shameek serves as Inaugural Director of the SUNY Achievement Center, where he leads a groundbreaking collaboration focused on strengthening persistence, completion, and transfer outcomes for students across higher education and career pathways in New York and beyond. His consulting work through S.T.R.I.V.E. is distinct from, and complementary to, his public-sector leadership.
Throughout his career, Shameek has held senior leadership roles spanning K–12 education, higher education, and national nonprofit organizations, including the College Advising Corps, the College Board, Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth, and the National College Attainment Network. His work has consistently centered on building sustainable partnerships, designing student-centered advising systems, and supporting educators and institutions in implementing equity-driven strategies at scale.
Shameek has also made significant contributions to the college access and admissions professional community through association leadership, program development, and curriculum design. He has contributed programmatic and curricular content to organizations including the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), Potomac and Chesapeake ACAC (PCACAC), New York State ACAC (NYSACAC), NCAN, the College Board, the College Advising Corps, and Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth. He has presented at numerous regional and national conferences and currently serves on the Advisory Board for the Philadelphia College Prep Roundtable (PCPR). Shameek has previously served on the boards of NYSACAC, PCACAC, the College Access Consortium of New York (CACNY), and the Association of Black Educators of New York (ABENY).
A former classroom teacher and Teach For America corps member, Shameek brings a practitioner’s lens to systems change work and is deeply committed to translating policy and strategy into meaningful outcomes for students and families. A first-generation college graduate, he holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and a Master of Science in Education from the Johns Hopkins School of Education.
