It is with great pleasure that I introduce George West as the first new fundraiser to join the Athletics Advancement team. George will make the move across campus to this new role within University Relations on Monday, March 23^rd after nearly two-years as Coordinator of Game Day Operations.  Prior to joining the Game Day staff, George was in Management and Sales at Enterprise Holdings.

George will fundraise directly for Athletics and also partner closely with the regional development and gift planning teams.  I am truly excited about the opportunity for him to further these partnerships as well as many within Athletics.  His regional assignment will be announced at a later date.

George is a 2009 graduate of the Mendoza College of Business and was a four-year letter winner as a wide receiver on the Irish football team.  He was a part of the first football “early enrollee” class in school history, along with Chris Stewart and James Aldridge.  A native of Spencer, Oklahoma, George and his fiancée Sandra (ND ’09) have one son, George III, and are expecting a baby girl in May.  In addition to time with his family, George loves to travel and play golf (two hobbies that will quickly endear him to his new prospects and benefactors).

Please join me in welcoming George to UR and the Athletics Advancement team.
