Today, Sgt. Jennifer Wilbur has less than 60 days left in the Marine Corps, but she is not yet done making her mark. As the chief instructor for the College of Enlisted Military Education Courses (CEME) at 2nd Maintenance Battalion, she is pushing for a radical change in how Marines learn to problem-solve.
“When we all joined [the Marine Corps], we desired to be our best... Sgt. Wilburn is the type of Marine that says ‘good isn’t good enough’. She takes the Marines around her and says ‘we have to do it better’. She wants to know how she can get the best out of every single Marine,†said Sgt. Maj. Charles Peoples, sergeant major of 2nd Maintenance Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group.
Wilbur was the winner of the second quarter’s Commanding General’s Innovation Challenge award for her introduction of Design Thinking into command-sponsored professional military education courses at CEME such as Lance Corporal Seminar and Corporals Course.
