Inauguration ceremony set for JSU’s 14th president
Next month, Jackson State University will inaugurate its first female president who is also an alum, Dr. Denise Jones Gregory. Gregory, the institution’s 14th president, was officially named to the role by the Board of Trustees for the Institutions of Higher Learning in May after an extensive candidate search that included the consideration of nearly 80 people. She previously served as interim president of the 149-year-old university starting in May of 2025.
