About the Institute & Founder, The IFER
Jennifer Smith is a former PhD Candidate that believes our higher education, government, and corporate systems need a complete change and new codes of conduct. The completion statistics in most 3-5 year PhD programs is not high with an average rate of attrition at 40-50%.
This institute was established to bring light and discussion to an overlooked area of academia that is holding our Small and Medium Size Business Entrepreneurs back in droves. I hope to give hope to creators, scientists, healers, leaders, and academics of all kinds that truth, reality, healing, health, inclusion, and science matters. We deserve to have proper democratization of business and science.
A new renaissance is in order for new books of art and philosophy of healing and science on all aspects of life, death, and representation, as well as better user experience design, engineering, technology capacity, and citizen capabilities.
