Jennifer Kiefer Fenton, PhD

I am passionate about innovating education with project-centered course design that prepares future organizational leaders for responsible problem-identification, cooperative problem-solving, evidence-based and collaborative project design, and thoughtful program evaluation. My research and teaching focuses on designing more sustainable and healthy organizational cultures. I enact this in my administrative practice by developing stakeholder responsive programming and building the organizational infrastructure to support project-centered, innovative learning spaces through building relationships across departments, disciplines, colleges, programs, and with community leaders. This all brings clarity to organizational mission and empowers leadership in others.
