As a Development Assistant at the University of Michigan, I specialize in supporting our development team's fundraising efforts by effectively managing a variety of administrative duties. My role encompasses the meticulous preparation of routine correspondence, adept handling of our main phone line, and maintaining comprehensive filing systems. I expertly manage bulk communications through mail merge and diligently assist with the ordering of supplies. I am also responsible for coordinating travel arrangements, processing gifts, and preparing personalized gift acknowledgments using both print and digital platforms. My tasks include collecting and analyzing data to inform our development strategies, as well as preparing financial documentation for reconciliations. In addition to scheduling meetings and appointments, I take an active role in event coordination—ranging from setting up webinar meetings to assisting with major university fundraisers. My proficiency in using university systems like DART and our imaging platform enhances my ability to maintain accurate donor records and ensure efficient documentation management. My role demands a keen attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and an unwavering commitment to supporting our institution's philanthropic mission.
