We also had to manage a diverse team of faculty, staff and students comprising the task force. Jodi was an excellent leader. She ran good meetings and communicated well with all those involved in our process. She called for expert help when needed and demonstrated her expertise. Her skills include examining and analyzing qualitative data. Jodi is collegial and open to input from others. Overall she's a very strong leader with a strong sense of inclusiveness; and these combine to get results."
