Grace Upham (Deer Isle and Stonington Fellow, Deer Isle Adult and Community Education): As an Island Institute Fellow, Grace is providing marketing, administrative, and strategic support for Deer Isle Adult and Community Education (DIACE), focusing on expanding their brand, network, reach, and variety of classes. She has joined at an opportune time, assisting DIACE as they develop Deer Isle-Stonington’s connectivity hub (a community-wide collaboration promoting digital equity in workforce training, education, and telehealth). Originally from the Midwest but settling in Maine after many years as a student and bookseller in Fife, Scotland, Grace is excited to make community connections and explore the state’s beautiful landscape.
