RBJ’s Power 30 Higher Education

The Rochester Business Journal’s inaugural Power List program continues this week with our Power 30 Higher Education.

Ben Jacobs

The list includes individuals who have spent the past 20 months figuring out new ways to educate students amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The people on this list have helped Rochester’s higher education institutions reimagine themselves rapidly to keep students, faculty and staff safe. They have pushed innovation forward to deal with the challenges of COVID-19. They have kept up with ever-changing protocols, requirements and recommendations and have led the way through a period of tremendous uncertainty.

As with our previous Power Lists, this one is presented in alphabetical order. And again, rather than tell you about all of these power players’ accomplishments and accolades, we decided to give them a chance to tell you more about themselves through their answers to a few different questions.

I welcome any feedback you have at [email protected].
