Since joining the organization, Maggie, a UIC shareholder, has supported daily operations and provided cultural orientations to visiting researchers, helping them better understand Utqiaġvik and the cultural context of working on the North Slope. “Maggie brought a tremendous amount of experience with her when she joined UIC Science, and she quickly demonstrated that she could take on greater responsibility,” said Dr. Cody Johnson, General Manager of UIC Science. “Her knowledge of the community and her support for our staff and guests are especially valuable.” As Facilities Manager, Maggie will oversee lodging facilities, the BARC research labs, multiple warehouses, and the light duty shop, ensuring these facilities remain ready to support year-round Arctic research.
