With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Dr. Erica G. Gladney. She lived boldly, loved deeply, and lifted others endlessly. Whether cheering for Jackson State, serving through AKA, or pouring wisdom into her students, she gave the world her very best.

As a dedicated Life Member of JSUNAA, and formerly serving as our beloved DFW Membership Chair, Erica worked tirelessly to move our mission forward. She will be profoundly missed.
