In honor of #NationalHigherEducationDay, we are proud to highlight Scottie Willis, Jr., PhD., a Spring 2026 graduate and our Director of Student Leadership & Engagement. Dr. Willis’ dedication to Jackson State University illustrates that higher education is about far more than just earning a degree. His journey has enabled him to connect with students on a deeper, personal level while reaching new heights in his own career. Shoutout to all our students who chose JSU for their next step in higher education, and to our dedicated faculty and staff who support them every step of the way! 💙 #JacksonStateUniversity #JacksonState #THEEiLove #HBCU
