Maggie Cogswell joined JHU in September 2020 as the Administrative Manager for the departments of Functional Anatomy & Evolution, Art as Applied to Medicine, and History of Medicine. Today, she is now an Administrator within the Basic Science Consortium, overseeing several departments, including MBG.

Maggie grew up on an ostrich ranch near Austin, TX and has a background in theatre performance and visual arts from the University of Evansville (Indiana). In 2014, she joined the HR department at Temple University, where she supported the division of Data Management for four years. She quickly fell in love with higher education administration and found her way into a role in Temple’s College of Liberal Arts where she managed the administration and HR of three departments and seven small centers. While at Temple, she also completed her MBA in Human Resources Management.

In 2018, Maggie and her husband decided to fulfill a life-long dream to live abroad and immerse themselves in another culture. They moved to Toulouse, France, where he pursued a master’s and Maggie continued to support Temple remotely. They came back to the US in August, 2020 and were both extremely excited and grateful to begin positions at JHU!
