Jaykyri Simpson Receives Doctorate in Educational Leadership from New England College

“As a doctoral student in New England College’s Educational Leadership program, I chose to research Black male college persistence because of its relevance to my work as director of Young Man with a Plan, a mentoring program for Black and Latino teen males in Boston. I was also motivated by growing knowledge of disturbing gaps with grave consequences.”
