A former University of Texas professor will start as the new director of CSU's School of Education this month, CSU said Monday.

Dan Robinson will start at CSU early this month after working as a professor of educational psychology for 13 years at the University of Texas at Austin, according to CSU.

Robinson is editor of the Educational Psychology Review. Robinson also served as co-director of a post-doctoral research training fellowship program in special education funded by the U.S. Department of Education.

"Dan Robinson brings a wealth of knowledge about education research, technology and student learning to CSU's School of Education," said Jeff McCubbin, dean of the College of Applied Human Sciences.

Robinson earned his doctorate in education from the University of Nebraska and his master's in educational psychology from Arizona State University. He received his bachelor's in education from the University of Nebraska.

"I am looking forward to building on the strengths of the School to create a vision for enhanced recognition nationally," Robinson said in the statement.
