BIOGRAPHY
Jennifer Farris will oversee Janelia Farm's short- and long-term housing facilities for visiting scientists and campus services such as dining and the fitness center. Farris has a B.A. in English from the University of North Carolina and more than 15 years of experience in the management of rooms, meetings, and food and beverage services at hotel and conference facilities. She is a former director of catering and conference services for The Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill and, most recently, the general manager of Northeastern University's Warren Conference Center and Inn in Ashland, Massachusetts. She is excited for the opportunity to parlay her hospitality skills into meaningful work that supports the mission of Janelia Farm. It is Farris' goal to create comfortable spaces on campus that encourage collaborative discussions and support the creative thinking that will distinguish Janelia Farm from other institutions.
