The road to completion for sixteen Public Policy and Administration’s students came through hard work, tears, and willing minds. On December 9, 2016, the department proudly awarded five PhD degrees and eleven MPPA degrees. The students receiving such honors concur with Jackson State University’s mission statement which states, “The University produces technologically advanced, diverse, ethical, global leaders who think critically, address societal problems, and compete effectively.”
The five Fall 2016 PhD graduates: Quentin D. Holmes, Dianne M. Hooker, Anan Abu Hummour, Jason M. Pope and Edward D. Sivak are proud degree holders from the BEST: Jackson State University. Mohammad Alrefai, Lashanda D. Bailey, Ebony L. Bingham, Ashley D. Caples, Emmett Caston, Alla Jeanae Frank, Melissa J. Johnson, Candance F. Miner, Unekia N. Oatis, Michael K. Spann, and Sonja J. Stokes-Greenleaf fulfilled their goals by staying on course until graduation day. The hard work, tears, and willing minds were worth the efforts of being honored on graduation day.
