Minier-Jennings's 18-year career has focused on leadership vision, strategy and operational execution for university and municipal agencies with diverse missions and goals.

"I am thrilled to welcome Jesenia to Isenberg," says Isenberg Dean Anne Massey. "She has a strong record implementing institutional DEIB leadership practices, and she has wonderful ideas for creating inclusive, relevant, accessible curriculum that supports our goals to attract and retain target groups and equip students to respond to increasingly diverse work environments."

"I am so excited about coming into this position and working with Dean Massey and all of the other associate and assistant deans across the school," says Minier-Jennings, who started her new position in January. "With Isenberg now instituting someone in this role, it gives us a wonderful opportunity for beneficial outcomes in various areas that perhaps have been unchecked for some time."

Minier-Jennings has expertise in implementing women's equality, LGBTQIA equality and immigrant civic engagement.

"One of the things I want to be sure about as I'm examining the culture is looking at the curriculum that exists within Isenberg and recognizing if there is an integration of DEIB in the classroom and how that is woven into the fabric of areas of study," she says. "I want to ensure that there are identities that are being represented well, that courses, workshops, and training modules are built around DEIB issues and provide support to students, instructors and staff to prepare to facilitate these kinds of discussions in the classroom and the workplace."
