Student Life External Engagement coordinates Student Life’s involvement in major campuswide and divisional fundraising initiatives, helping departments identify the best fit for their projects while ensuring strong divisional representation in efforts such as We Are UA, Bama Blitz and other annual giving opportunities.
We also oversee divisional annual-giving-level fundraising strategies, including campaigns for divisional support funds and select donor wall and commemorative paver opportunities.
