Lauren’s extensive experience includes coordinating the academic appeals process, active participation in SUNY Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and SUNY’s Global Initiatives committee, and serving as advisor to GCC’s International Students Organization. She is also a recipient of the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities and the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Faculty Service.

Amy Conley is a Certified Public Accountant and has been a full-time faculty member at GCC for fourteen years, teaching online since 2010. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Accounting from St. John Fisher College and a Master’s in Business Administration from Rochester Institute of Technology.

Ms. Conley has extensive curriculum experience and has been an active participant in GCC’s Curriculum Committee for over nine years. She is also a recipient of the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching.

“GCC is proud to have such outstanding faculty members as Lauren Paisley and Amy Conley. We look forward to seeing the impact they will have as SUNY Online Teaching Ambassadors in 2023. Congratulations to both of them on this well-deserved honor,” said Judith Littlejohn, GCC director of Online Learning.

As SUNY Online Teaching Ambassadors, both Ms. Paisley and Ms. Conley will be working with faculty and staff throughout SUNY to share their expertise in teaching online and in hybrid formats.
