In this episode, we invited Thomas Hudson, President of Jackson State University (JSU), to join us. As only the second alumnus of JSU to become president, President Hudson stepped into the role in early 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic was ramping up. President Hudson speaks to Proctor Institute Executive Director Marybeth Gasman about his journey toward becoming president of Jackson State, what leading during COVID looks like, and what his future goals are for the institution.
