About Jason Gibson

EQUIPPED with a background in instruction, leadership, mentorship, and customer service, I am prepared to take on new professional opportunities that stand to further cultivate my creative capacities, while also fostering room (and space) for continued growth as a professional. Each of my previous experiences have fed the vast and unique tapestry that has ultimately become my professional vision—an opportunity to merge all of my creative and intellectual faculties into a position that will challenge me as a leader, hone my skills as a life-long learner, and equip me with the tools to forge new paths for others to follow.I have devoted my life to scholarship and research. As a historian, I have committed myself to ensuring current and future generations do not repeat our storied history. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Social Science and a Master of Arts in History from Jackson State University for this reason and more. The core of my research was embedded in the Civil Rights Era as a theory and practice. My thesis, Student Activism and Organizing During Freedom Summer: An Examination of Mentorship and Organizing in Mississippi through Tougaloo College, provided a framework for future generations. It is this premise and others, that has led me to pursue opportunities to train and shape future minds.The single greatest export in the state of Mississippi isn’t cotton, or concrete, or manufactured goods. It’s talent. This is my home. This is where my gifts, and my dreams, and my endeavors belong. If given this opportunity, I will take full advantage of all of the amazing qualities that your institution has to offer, and, in turn, work with tireless dedication to ensure that I am playing an integral part in our collective quest for intellectual and educational excellence.Respectfully & Appreciatively Yours, Jason M.
