Dear colleagues:

The Stewardship & Donor Relations team is excited to announce Cristi Ganyard as the new Director for University Stewardship Initiatives.In this role, she will lead the team of professionals partnering closely with the colleges, schools and divisions throughout the University to enhance both programmatic and strategic personalized stewardship efforts. She and her team will be responsible for impact reporting and will work closely with partners to ensure we are maximizing spending and impact.
