Maggie Grady
Although I have an advanced degree in Educational Technology obtained from UB, I feel my work allows me to continue my growth as a Learning Designer.
I am a strong believer that educators learn best from likeminded individuals who are passionate about teaching, so much so that I created a community of practice (CoP) entitled UBTaLCK, Teaching and Learning Community of Knowledge. Founded in 2018, UBTaLCK is a grassroots CoP made up of approximately 100+ UB faculty and instructional support staff who come together to discuss, share, and learn pedagogical strategies from each other. If you are interested in joining UBTaLCK, please complete this form. We would love you to share your teaching ideas, strategies, and techniques. We can use this opportunity to increase our knowledge together.
Outside of work, I love traveling with my four children (two of which are adults now) and my husband. We are constantly looking for our next adventure. In my home life and work life ideas are always welcomed! There is always room for learning.
I am the liaison for:
- School of Nursing
- School of Public Health and Health Professions
- Department of Information Science
- The Exerpiental Learning Network
- University Libraries
- IT Customer Service
