This summer, Jabreon Jackson, our Ph.D. student in Higher Education Administration, brought her passion for education into a space where every word learned can build a child’s confidence. Jabreon served students through the Texas A&M Center for Advanced Literacy Studies, supporting children in kindergarten through sixth grade as they strengthened their reading skills. From letter-sound connections and word analysis to comprehension and confidence, Jabreon helped provide young learners with evidence-based literacy support designed to help them grow as readers.

What a meaningful way to spend a summer, learning, serving, and helping young Aggies-in-the-making discover the power of reading.

A handwritten note can change the direction of a life. A few years ago, after Rahsaan Dawson presented at a national conference, Dr. Elizabeth Roumell left him a note asking whether he had ever considered pursuing a Ph.D. He kept that note, returning to its words whenever he needed encouragement.

At the recent summer commencement, that question received its answer: Dr. Rahsaan Dawson. His doctoral journey required extraordinary commitment; he contributed to publications, presented at conferences, and developed a research agenda he plans to advance throughout his career. Standing behind this achievement was an exceptional committee: chair Dr. Elizabeth Roumell; co-chair Dr. Chaddrick James-Gallaway; and members Dr. Christine Stanley, Dr. Quinita Ogletree, and Dr. Gwendolyn Webb.

Congratulations, Dr. Dawson! Your EAHR family proudly celebrates you. Gig ’em!

How can organizations better understand leadership when it is shared across people, teams, and systems?

A new publication from the EAHR writing group, led by Dr. John Turner, brings together multiple collective leadership theories through the CORE framework: Collaboration, Open Systems, Reflection, and Empowerment. The framework offers a practical and comprehensive way to examine how leadership takes shape across individuals, teams, and organizations.

We are proud to recognize EAHR Ph.D. students Xiaoyan Xu and Lisa Dinh-Trinh for their contributions to this collaborative research. Congratulations to the authors on this meaningful publication!

Congratulations to Dr. Turner and his team, and Gig ’em!

Throughout 2026, Mahreen Kashif Ghayas, our PhD student, served as an AAACE Leadership Mentorship Program Mentor, creating a space for collaboration, encouragement, and scholarly development with a fellow Texas A&M doctoral student. Her commitment to mentorship and her doctoral journey were also recognized with an AAACE Graduate Student Grant, supporting her continued professional and scholarly development.
