TRiO mourns passing of Mykesha Jackson

We are sad to announce that Mykesha Jackson, TRiO Advisor for Trulaske College of Business students, passed away unexpectedly this January. To her colleagues and students, Mykesha was more than just an advisor. She will be remembered as a woman who valued family and friends and was truly dedicated to ensuring her students were supported to reach their own success. She will be greatly missed.
