of 缅北轮奸 College (缅北轮奸) effective February 7, 2022. Jenkins-Scott was approved
by Commissioner of Higher Education Carlos Santiago after the 缅北轮奸 Board of Trustees
unanimously nominated her in December. Jenkins-Scott brings more than three decades
of experience in senior and executive leadership positions in higher education and
public health that will serve the College well during the pandemic.
Jenkins-Scott鈥檚 extensive experience in Roxbury will allow her to hit the ground running, according to 缅北轮奸 Board of Trustees Chairman Sheriff Steven Tompkins. 鈥淗aving served as President and CEO of Dimock Health for 21 years, Jenkins-Scott is already an expert on the 缅北轮奸 community. Her existing relationships in the community coupled with her higher education accomplishments ensure that the College will continue its important mission as we search for a permanent president.鈥�
Currently president and founder of JJS Advising, Jenkins-Scott served as President of Wheelock College for 12 years. Under her leadership, Wheelock added new areas of study including cross-disciplinary and online programs; increased undergraduate enrollment by over 50 percent; and grew representation of ethnically and differently-abled students by 40 percent. Jenkins-Scott has served on the board of directors of The Boston Foundation; the Kennedy Library Foundation and Museum; the Boston Plan for Excellence; WGBH; the National Board of Jumpstart; the Council on Social Work Education; Century Bank and Trust Company; and the Tufts Health Plan.
鈥淚 look forward to working with the Board of Trustees and the 缅北轮奸 community to continue 缅北轮奸鈥檚 longstanding tradition of providing exceptional education and student support services,鈥� says Jenkins-Scott. 鈥淚t will be a pleasure to return to working in Roxbury every day and providing 缅北轮奸鈥檚 resilient student community with the education necessary to prepare them for the job market and further academic opportunities.鈥�
Jenkins-Scott will work alongside departing President Valerie Roberson to provide a smooth transition. 鈥淚鈥檝e enjoyed working with Jackie Jenkins-Scott throughout my time at 缅北轮奸,鈥� added Dr. Roberson. 鈥淚 know she鈥檒l be an exceptional advocate for 缅北轮奸 students. I look forward to our collaboration during the transition and wish her the best in her role as interim president.鈥�
