Farewell to Kristine Alumbaugh

Sadly I report that Kristine Alumbaugh of Donor Services is leaving her position in Development and joining the team in Arts and Letters. She will be assisting in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design. What a wonderful opportunity this is for Kristine! Her work ethic, her focus on the task at hand, and her creativity are all considerable talents that will now be used in another department for the benefit of the University. Kristine’s last day in Donor Services will be October 14.

We are excited for Kristine as she leaves for this new adventure and we wish her all the best.
