WILBERFORCE — Central State University President Dr. Cynthia Jackson-Hammond has joined the exclusive ranks of the nation’s top Businesswomen to Watch, selected by Bizwomen, a publication of the American City Business Journals.
Bizwomen’s “Top 100 Women to Watch” honor recognizes some of the most respected female business executives in the United States for their impact on their company and their community. Jackson-Hammond was selected from more than 1,000 leaders.
Jackson-Hammond, who has led Central State University since 2012, is the university’s eighth president and first female president in its 129-year history. Notable advancements achieved by the University under her administration include:

— Recognition as the fifth most affordable university in the nation for out-of-state students resulting from the reduction in out-of-state surcharge fees of more than 70 percent;
— CSU was named 45th in the nation for scholarships and was named in the 2016 Best Schools Report by GoodCall.
