Brad Jacobson, Ph.D., has been an educator for more than two decades. He knows the scholarly and public work we do in English — writing, teaching, reading and creating — can be both fulfilling and socially impactful. Jacobson values opportunities to discuss with students how graduate education can help to achieve their goals.
