Jenn Pedersen has been named interim executive director for eºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.

Following the appointment of Owen Guthrie to the position of vice chancellor for student affairs and associate vice chancellor of enrollment management, I have asked Jenn Pedersen to step in as the interim executive director for eºÚÁϳԹÏÍø until a permanent director is put in place. Jenn will be responsible for overall management of eºÚÁϳԹÏÍø. 

Jenn is an educational psychologist who comes to UAF with experience teaching, mentoring graduate students, consulting, and serving in administrative roles. She has focused on curriculum development and program management for 15 years and has served as the course and program manager at eºÚÁϳԹÏÍø since June 2020.  

Jenn’s relevant experience and knowledge bring new opportunities for continued growth at eºÚÁϳԹÏÍø. I am excited to work with her and the eºÚÁϳԹÏÍø team.

— Anupma Prakash, Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
