Collin College honored J. Robert “Bob” Collins, a founding board member and trustee emeritus, during a ceremony today naming Dr. J. Robert Collins Hall at the college’s Farmersville Campus.
Among those attending the event were U.S. Rep. Keith Self, state Reps. Jeff Leach and Matt Shaheen, Farmersville Mayor Craig Overstreet, current and former college trustees and other guests.
“It is often said that leaders ask, ‘Why?’” Overstreet said. “Dr. Collins has always asked, ‘Why not?’”
Collins was among the founding trustees who helped establish Collin College and has long supported the institution, its students and the communities it serves. College officials say his vision, leadership and support have played an important role in the college’s development since its earliest days.
The naming of Dr. J. Robert Collins Hall recognizes Collins’ decades of service and lasting contributions to Collin College.
Now a trustee emeritus, Collins remains connected to the college following his service on its board.
