Kennedy and Marshall have different strengths. Kennedy favors development--reading scripts, matching talent and material. "I'm more of a big-picture, conceptual kind of thinker," she says.

...said Task Force member Brent Whelan. “They’re presenting things without a clear concept of where the community wants to go and how they want to go about it.” The University has already committed itself to providing residents with free math and science tutoring, beginning this spring.
