About Jennifer A. Stollman Ph.D.

I am dedicated to providing your organization with the knowledge and skills needed to create productive, comfortable, and trusting work spaces.  I bring more than 25 years of experience to this work, having worked widely with college and universities, K-12 educational institutions, criminal justice organizations, multi-national corporations, small and large businesses, community organizations, social media companies, and professional organizations. I bring dedication to this work and your success. As a compassionate, brave,  enthusiastic, and innovative partner, I will work hard to achieve your organization’s diversity and equity goals. My faith directs me to fulfill what is known in Hebrew as Tikkun Olam,  “repairing the world," a responsibility I take very seriously. I am the descendant of pogrom and Holocaust survivors and civil rights and social justice advocates. The term “Never Again,” goes beyond Jewish experiences with oppression.  I understand that when racism and other forms of oppression are allowed to exist against one population, no one is safe. As an American and a believer in democracy, I understand that freedom, my opportunity, and my access are intricately linked to the freedoms, opportunities, and access of others. When one group is denied constitutional rights, our democracy is broken, unfulfilled, and at risk. When one group is unfree, we are actually all unfree.
