Dr. Jamal Watson named to Rick Hess’s 2025 RHSU Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings
List ranks 200 university-based scholars who have made the most significant impact on educational practice and policy this past year.
“[S]eeing Trinity’s name appear alongside major research universities gave me a moment of real pride,” Professor and Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Watson writes. “It made me think about the unique perspective we bring to national education conversations as a Predominantly Black and Hispanic-serving institution. I believe this recognition could be valuable for Trinity, not just as a feather in our cap, but as a concrete example of how our faculty’s work reaches beyond our campus walls to influence national education policy. 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.”
The list, published by Education Week, came out this morning.
