Announcing Jennifer Harrison's Retirement
FDC Associate Director for Assessment retiring after 11 yrs.
Please see the following message from Ana Oskoz:
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to share that Dr. Jennifer Harrison, Associate Director for Assessment in the Faculty Development Center (FDC), is retiring at the end of January 2026. In her 11 years with the UMBC FDC, Jennifer has consulted with numerous faculty and programs to develop effective assessment practices, supported the institution's Middle States accreditation efforts, led programs around all aspects of assessment and faculty development, and developed and published curriculum mapping templates. She created dynamic, kinesthetic curriculum mapping workshops that empowered faculty to connect student-centered teaching, learning, and assessment practices in their programs and courses to constructively transform students’ learning experiences. She has presented for a range of higher education audiences, consulted on student-centered curriculum development at other universities, and co-authored a book, A Guide to Curriculum Mapping: Creating a Collaborative, Transformative, and Learner-Centered Curriculum (Routledge, 2024) with Dr. Vickie Williams. Jennifer has taught courses at UMBC in the College Teaching & Learning Science certificate program, the First Year Seminar program, and the English department.
We are thankful for Jennifer's contributions to UMBC and the FDC and hope you will join us in wishing her well in retirement!
Ana Oskoz
Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs

Neurodiversity Dialogues: Neuro-Inclusive Community Design
A virtual event hosted by Neurodiversity@Cornell
Feb 18, 2026 03:00 PM on Zoom
Presented By: Charles R. Durrett, AIA; The Cohousing Company
Communities intentionally created for people to interact with each other can foster a strong sense of belonging and wellbeing. Join us to hear from Charles Durrett, principal architect at The Cohousing Company, is a leading voice in creating communities where people truly connect. After studying Denmark's bofællesskaber model, he coined the term "cohousing" in 1985 and brought it to North America with the book Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves, now in its third edition titled Creating Cohousing: Building Sustainable Communities. Now on his 16th book, Neuro-Inclusive Community Design, he has designed over 55 cohousing communities for seniors, families, and neurodiverse individuals. By starting with culture before construction, Charles has spent four decades helping people create places that foster belonging and sustainability. His work has been featured in Time, The New York Times, and The Guardian, and he's spoken everywhere from the U.S. Congress to Stanford and the Royal Danish Academy. Whether designing a village or speaking to a crowd, Charles is driven by one belief: housing should bring people together.
Please register in advance using the Zoom RSVP link.
