E149: Jennifer Thompson, Part 2: Leader, Diplomat, Advocate, Strong-Willed, Assessment Champion

In this episode Garth interviews Jennifer Thompson from the University of Maryland-Global Campus in Largo, MD (making her second appearance on the podcast).  They reminisce about the before-times (pre-pandemic) and committee work advancing APA's Introductory Psychology Initiative (IPI), where they both played leadership roles.  Co-leading the student learning outcome and assessment group, Jen flexed her knowledge of assessment and utilized her leadership skills.  At UMGC, her leadership skills have been well recognized as she continues to elevate through the leadership ranks.  She values her time spent on the Committee for Associate and Baccalaureate Education and knows when to pick a fight about 'learning styles.' And ask her about knowledge, skills, abilities, and dispositions too.
