Verna R. Taylor; commend upon retirement as an assistant professor from Jackson State University.
This is a ceremonial resolution (not a law) commending Dr. Verna R. Taylor upon her retirement as an assistant professor at Jackson State University (JSU). It honors her 30+ year career in education, including 25+ years at JSU, her work as a criminal justice educator, and her prior roles with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and Jackson Public Schools. The resolution lists her academic background, professional licenses, awards, and community service, but contains no policy changes or legislative action. It was formally adopted by the Mississippi legislature in March 2025 as a symbolic gesture of appreciation.
