UM senior makes 'Time' magazine

OXFORD, Miss. – University of Mississippi senior Bobby Hudson III has made Time magazine’s list of “A Generation Creating Change.” Hudson, a public policy leadership major, is featured in Time as one of its “30 in 2030: A Generation Creating Change.” Hudson said his passion for community engagement and public policy was ignited at Ole Miss. Though still a student, he established the North Gulfport (Miss.) Advocacy Coalition, a grassroots organization dedicated to educating the public about politics, social advocacy and voter awareness. The magazine interviewed Hudson, along with two students from other universities, for its section on how young change-makers are applying creative solutions to mental health challenges. The North Gulfport Advocacy Coalition focuses on topics of concern in primarily Black communities through events, programs and resources for which it serves. The group moderated a town hall between municipal candidates and hosted anti-gun violence block parties. He was one of the UM students honored with the first-ever Diversity Innovator Awards in April 2021.
