The Colleges

Michael Pilla

Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology

Dr. Michael Pilla (aka "the Pillamonster") has been a mentor for Robinson College since 2007. Since the beginning of the College Cup, the Robinson Ravens have won this coveted award three times outright, making Robinson the most feared of all Colleges, and earning it the name "Slytherin." When not masquerading as Severus Snape, Dr. Pilla is professor of anesthesiology with a specialty in liver transplantation, an associate program director of the anesthesia residency, an avid photographer, musician, and a passionate snowboarder.
