The Art of Donor Relations

Hello all! 

I'm so glad to see more people posting, I love to hear what you all are up too. Also, I can't wait to see a bunch of you for graduation week! I just wanted to show off a website that I made as a donor relations tool. valpo.edu/christopherchina

Upon my arrival to my new job at VU I found that the Campus Museum had inadvertently angered the University's single largest donor...oops!  (you may know him as the founder of Pampered Chef). He is a very nice gentleman and both he and his wife are very dedicated philanthropists to more institutions than just Valparaiso University. I have a great deal of respect for their efforts in the area of education. His collection of Railroad China is on display at the campus museum and he was displeased with the amount of publicity that it was receiving. I'd love to see what you all are up to as well. If you have pictures of functions or theatrical events or an impressive press release or bulk email I'd like to see it. I love the visuals! 

Best,
Lexie
