Mark Robb worked for Central Methodist for 37 years after arriving on campus in 1977.
Robb began his career at Central Methodist working as a resident assistant. Over the course of his career, Robb would work in student development and intramurals before embarking on a career in athletics in 1982. He was named the senior associate athletic director in August 2012 before passing away from surgical complications in December 2013 at the age of 60.
Robb was a member of the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association and was well-known by the Eagles' community as a collector of antique toys.
In March 2014, the Central Methodist Board of Trust unanimously agreed to rename the campus' multipurpose facility the Philips-Robb Recreation Center, the building that housed Mark's office for over three decades.
Robb earned a Bachelor's degree from Missouri State in 1976.
A native of Springfield, Mo., Robb attended Mount Vernon High School. Mark is survived by his wife Vickie and son Jess, and twin daughters, Lauren and Elizabeth. Jess, Lauren, and Elizabeth followed in Mark's footsteps in Fayette. Jess earned a Bachelor's degree from Central Methodist in 2010, while Lauren and Elizabeth earned Bachelor's degrees in 2012.
