Staff appreciation: Office of Development and Alumni Relations

The Office of Development and Alumni Relations includes four professionals responsible for building and coordinating connections with donors, alumni, corporations, foundations, and friends to promote the College and its mission. Private support from donors makes advancing the priorities of the College possible. Through relationships with alumni (the College has more than 60,000 alumni!), donors, and supporters, the team creates partnerships and funding for scholarships and other vital programs that foster faculty and student success.

The office hosts events such as the annual Alumni Awards ceremony, various lecture speakers, and special tailgate gatherings during football and basketball seasons.

Please take a minute to send a quick note of appreciation to these staff members to let them know how much they are appreciated!
