Meet Jennifer Kerns

January 12, 2018 / Phil Lesch

Greetings fellow PSU-AAUP members and welcome to week two of winter term. I am Jennifer Kerns, your Vice President for Membership and Organizing. I have been at this job for almost a year now, before which I was a Unit Representative for the History Department. I joined our union when I was hired as a full-time non-tenure track faculty member for the History Department in 2009. I became more active in our union when PSU-AAUP President Mary King and her successor Pam Miller in words and in deed prioritized the work of NTTF and academic professionals. As colleagues of various ranks and positions, we work together to make this University successful for our students. Indeed, PSU-AAUP successes have impacted my own professional successes. Our current PSU-AAUP leadership continues to value the diverse experiences and expertise of academic workers across campus and I am happy to be a member of this team. Ask me how you can help strengthen our union!
