Kathryn Van Sickle: Building Engaged Communities

I have lived my entire life on or near a College or University campus. You might even call it “the family business” as my father leads fundraising at a University. We were always part of those communities with their networks of special personalities that make each one unique.

This appreciation is a large part of why I’ve chosen development as my own career. This isn’t just a job for me, it’s a calling that fills me with pride, excitement, and joy. The Development Debrief podcast and #devlife are ways for me to share what I am learning and hearing from thought leaders, professionals, and donors I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and interviewing.
