Fundraising case statements
I wrote and project-directed these and dozens more cases to inspire support for University of Colorado programs.
Creating futures magazine
Creating Futures magazine celebrated the excellence and impact of CU donors and programs during a $1.5 billion comprehensive campaign. I founded the magazine, the first external-facing magazine encompassing all four CU System campuses, and edited its five issues.
Other CU advancement projects
These are among hundreds of editorial projects I directed to help CU annually raise $375 million and manage $1 billion+ in endowments.
