A professor of African history, Jacobs epitomizes excellent teaching and how one’s
teaching is improved through individual scholarly achievements. Her path to college
professor was rooted in her mother’s insistence that she should one day become an
elementary school teacher. Jacobs recalls, “I have always believed that my mother
wanted to be a teacher herself, but American society was even more circumscribed
for black women when she was growing up than it was for me.” Given her own
personal struggle between pursuing the business world or academia, Jacobs seeks
to prepare every student for life after college – whether in the field of history or not.
At NCCU since 1976, Jacobs holds a baccalaureate degree in elementary education
and master’s degree in management from Wayne State University, as well as a
doctorate from Howard University.
