Lori Jackson Stewart, associate director for Campus Life at Jackson State University, was recently named Advisor of the Year during the Royal Academy Awards ceremony at the 12th Annual Leadership for Queens and King’s Konnection Conference in Memphis.
The Leadership for Queens and Kings’ Konnection annual conference is designed to provide leadership training for newly elected Kings and Queens at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and their advisors.
The Royal Academy Awards program was developed to honor HBCU kings and queens, and their advisors for outstanding achievements. Advisors are evaluated based on time of service, implementation of programs, development of leadership skills and ability to incorporate current trends and best practices.
Stewart has been the primary advisor for Miss Jackson State University and the Royal Court for three years. While serving as a presenter at the conference, she shared her professional expertise with other advisors during a session titled Life as an Advisor.
Jackson State University was one of 40 HBCUs that participated in the three-day conference held at the Peabody Hotel..
