Visiting Scholars, Practitioners and Executives:                            
The EPhD provides an integration of faculty expertise from academic, executive and practitioner perspectives. Current faculty will primarily facilitate the teaching
of the modules throughout the academic program of study. However, other
nationally known and prominent scholars provide lectures and presentations
on topics of present and future relevance to urban settings. Vice Presidents
from Jackson State University will also guest lecture in the EPhD program.
The combination of the faculty, within the context of trans-disciplinary subject matter, provides a unique educational experience for the students. Visiting
scholars and executives are invited from other institutions such as the University
of Pennsylvania, Pace University, University of California, Vanderbilt University,
University of Georgia, Howard University, Hampton University, Stanford
University, Columbia University, Harvard University and other Minority Serving
Institutions (MSIs) with Hispanic/Latino and Native American/Indian populations.
Speakers will be brought in to represent the views of major national associations
from the Washington, D.C. area. Also included are international institutions that have partnerships with Jackson State University..
