Girl Power x Executive Power! 💪✨

Our Educator Fellowship Cohort enjoyed an inspiring conversation with three outstanding higher education leaders:

Dr. Jennifer Miles, Executive Director, The University of Memphis at Lambuth

Dr. JacQuene Rainey, President, TCAT-Jackson

Dr. Darlette Carver Samuels, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, Jackson State Community College

The conversation explored workforce development, AI, and their journeys to executive leadership. Lots of questions were asked.

Girl power was definitely in the room! 👏🏽🎓✨

Ms. Payne has taught several siblings over her 20 years at Rose Hill School. It’s always a treat when former students (like Brantley, headed to 9th grade) visits to introduce her to an incoming student (his little brother 😊❤️). #OpenHouse #JMCSS #FamilyVibes
