Dr. Jamal Watson named to Rick Hess’s 2025 RHSU Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings

Dr. Jamal Watson, Associate Dean of Professional Graduate Studies, has been ranked in the 2025 RHSU Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings list.  The list, published by Education Week, ranks 200 university-based scholars who have made the most significant impact on educational practice and policy this past year. Dr. Watson noted: “Trinity’s name appear[ing] alongside major research universities gave me a moment of real pride. It made me think about the unique perspective we bring to national education conversations as a Predominantly Black and Hispanic-serving institution… It’s also a testament to how institutions like ours – deeply committed to serving first-generation students and students of color – are helping to reshape the conversation about American education.”

Congratulations to Dr. Watson for this magnificent achievement. Please find the article and the full ranking list in EducationWeek.
