Meet David Jennerjohn, associate professor of Industrial Maintenance, who goes the extra mile for his students. David noticed that some of his non-native English-speaking students were struggling with industry terminology, so he took it upon himself to learn their language — French — in his free time to better support their success.
“Students are at the heart of what we do at Kirkwood. Whether it’s the clubs and organizations we offer or the events we host on campus, it’s important that Kirkwood is a welcoming place for all students.”
Seth Vander Tuig, Senior Director, Student Engagement & Campus Life
“I strive to create a community within my classrooms. This means every student will leave authentically knowing new people, achieving personal growth through collaboration and feedback, and feeling a sense of connectedness.”
Abbie Weipert, Faculty & Program Coordinator – Business Transfer
Jillissa Moorman, Interior Design and Interior Architecture program coordinator/chair and associate professor, goes beyond academics to prepare students for life. “We do life. I say my job is to prepare students 50% academic and 50% personal and professional,” Jillissa shares. She brings learning to life by getting students out of the classroom and into the community and the world, encouraging them to walk through spaces they study in textbooks.
