Dr. Jenay Sermon

I am accepting a post doctoral research position on a NSF grant funded project where i will be further developing, implementing, and measuring the impacts of learning systems for undergraduate students’ success in STEM. The position is located at a historically Black university, targeted at students traditionally underrepresented in STEM degree completion and career trajectory.

Syclair Jones

This past semester I completed an internship in Buffalo, New York as a Learning and Development intern. I recently landed a job as a Learning Experience Designer for an organization called Ultimate Software in Atlanta, Georgia! The job is part-time so I will be pursuing additional project and contract work in instructional design and performance improvement. I am so grateful for the amazing foundation the ISLT Program has given me in the principles of instructional design and human performance improvement.
