The LTC is committed to providing reliable, accurate information about all things educational technology. Recently, ChatGPT, and other AI writers, catalyzed a national discussion, leaving many in the higher education community overwhelmed and unsure. To help answer some commonly asked questions and provide some useful resources, the LTC and LEARN Center are partnering to host an informational discussion on ChatGPT and other AI platforms. There will be AI experts, faculty, and a representative from Student Government present. The discussion will be held on February 28th at 3:30pm in McGraw Hall 19A or via Webex

Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Hello! My name is Dana Wagner and I am the new Assistant Director (AD) for the LTC. I excitedly joined the esteemed LTC team in December of 2022. 

I graduated from UW-Madison with a Bachelors (‘12) and Masters (‘14) in Animal Science. I have a background in livestock animal welfare and research, with particular emphasis on behavioral and physiological measurements of stress in food animals. Additionally, I worked a great deal with undergraduate and graduate students in a mentorship role, helping students to find their path and complete their program. My most recent role was in supporting veterinary education through course development, laboratory management, and curricular remodeling. 

As AD, my responsibilities include: assisting with the identification and prioritization of strategic goals, supporting the coordination and delivery of LTC programs for professional learning, liaising with campus partners, and coordinating LTC communications.

When not working, I enjoy testing out new dessert recipes, completing puzzles, swimming, and walking to take in the gorgeous Wisconsin scenery. My husband and I share our home with 2 cats, 3 chickens, and 2 horses – though the horses, unfortunately, do not reside in our backyard. 

I look forward to supporting faculty and staff through the LTC, improving the higher education experience, and building upon the distinguished legacy of UW-Whitewater! As a (reformed) Badger, Go Warhawks!
