Pennsylvania Institute of Technology (P.I.T.

) Announces the Passing of President

William B. Robinson, Jr.

Media, PA, January 13, 2021 --(PR.com)-- It is with profound sadness that Pennsylvania Institute of
Technology (P.I.T.) announces the passing of William B. Robinson, Jr., 10th President of Pennsylvania
Institute of Technology. Mr. Robinson was hospitalized with complications related to COVID-19 in late
November before succumbing on January 11, 2021.

President Robinson has been an integral part of the P.I.T. family for over 50 years, initially as a member
of the graduating class of 1969, Will went on to serve the college as an Instructor, Trustee (and later
Board Chair), before beginning his Presidency in 2017. Said Thomas E. McDuffie, Ed. D., Chairperson of
the Board of Trustees, “We will all miss this special man, P.I.T.’s leader, and everyone’s friend. He will
be remembered as a folksy philosopher, an insightful educator, a comedian, and an athlete. We are all
richer because he shared his life and hopes and dreams with us.” Will’s leadership has led to
unprecedented growth of the college and the introduction of academic programs that will have a lasting
legacy on a generation of future P.I.T. graduates.

The P.I.T. community deeply mourns the loss of President Robinson and wish to extend our deepest
condolences and prayers to his surviving children, grandchildren, family, and friends as we will cherish
his memory and impact.

The college will keep stakeholders updated as information regarding arrangements becomes available.
