Missing Jennifer's light. She was amazing as a costumer and later helped me --among so many others--develop on line courses. My condolences to Will, all of her family, friends and colleagues and recent adoptees. I too love the Humane Society where I found my current fur baby. May Jennifer's light shine on for us all.
Jennifer had incredible passion and energy for her work. She was always willing to assist and collaborate to make our campus community stronger.
We will continue to benefit from her talent and grace far into the future. Stephanie Hanson
Jennifer taught me a great deal as the Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence at UF. I remember her exuberant and dynamic invitation to faculty development training workshops during my initial orientation to UF in Fall 2018. It was largely due to her personal charisma and her team building skills that she led such a good center. I am personally grateful she was a part of my journey and she will be remembered fondly for years. My condolences to her family, CTE staff and all who knew her. - Sujata Krishna
