The National Press Photographers Association, the White House News Photographers Association, and the Radio and Television Correspondents Association, among others, have recognized Jenkins. He is also a highly regarded lecturer and has spoken on photography and multimedia at many schools and organizations, including the New England School of Photography, the Rhode Island School of Design, the Poynter Institute, the University of Miami and the American Press Institute. Jenkins is currently an adjunct professor at Georgetown University.
