Dr. Cadle then welcomed graduate Alexander Archie to the podium to present the reflection. Commencement speaker Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson was then introduced to address the students and their families.

Dr. Jackson founded EduCare Training and Consulting, LLC out of a purpose pouring in to those who pour out so much. Much of her work is specifically focused on equipping and refreshing educators. Currently, Dr. PBJ serves as creator and host of the Disrupting Burnout podcast as well as the founder and facilitator of the EduCare Women’s Leadership Academy.
