Having worked in corporate America and higher education for more than 30 years, Robin Thornhill has plenty of experience and insights to lead the School of Communications’ Media Innovation & Entrepreneurship course during Winter Term.

“I am a fourth-generation entrepreneur,” Thornhill said. “My grandmother was one of the first African-American women to own real estate and a restaurant in Alexandria, Virginia. After business school, my mother joined her mother in the family business. My great-grandfather owned a farm in North Carolina. I believe entrepreneurship is in my DNA.”
