Sade Robinson's family gets emotional over honorary MATC degree

Forgoing MATC’s usual black academic robes, young Adrianna Reams dressed in a bright pink cap and gown in honor of her sister Sade Robinson Sunday as she walked across the graduation stage at Fiserv Forum.
“A part of it felt wrong because this is her diploma,” Reams said. “She worked hard to earn it but I’m glad that I could be here.”
At the college’s spring commencement ceremony, Reams and her family accepted a posthumous honorary degree in Robinson’s name.
19-year-old Robinson was studying criminal justice at MATC before she was tragically murdered in April. She was in her last semester of work toward an Associate of Arts degree at the time.
“She really did deserve it she worked so hard, for so long,” 16-year-old Reams said. “This was just one small step on a large path that she never got to see through.”
Robinson’s mother Sheena Scarbrough told TMJ4’s Tahleel Mohieldin the gesture by MATC made their family feel supported as they continue to deal with the loss.
