“We have an opportunity to fulfill our ancestors’ wildest dreams.”

Dr. Jon Goodwin

Professor, College of Education

School Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist

This special speaker series is brought to you by the Alpha Theta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, as part of the “Go-to-High School, Go-to-College” initiative. Through this series, we will celebrate the impact and legacy of four Alpha educators.

“We are on the cusp of a new day.”

Church Aunties and Uncles, and all extended members of the village, this one is for you. This week, we are joined by Dr. Jon Goodwin, a Professor and Licensed Psychologist with an incredible vocabulary (seriously, I looked up SEVERAL words during our conversation!). Dr. Goodwin walks us through the educational experiences that shaped him, the trade off when attending a “good school”, and why he was very intentional about choosing Dillard University for undergrad.

His educational journey led him to research the persistent and enduring achievement gap, and he advocates for more diversity within the field (currently, over 70% of practitioners are white women) of school psychology and special education.
