As a student fundraiser, I raised money for initiatives across campus including student scholarships and bursaries, research programs, laboratory equipment, and improvements to buildings and facilities. I did this by connecting over the phone with alumni, friends of the University, and parents of current students. Student Fundraisers form an important part of the UBC Development and Alumni Engagement team which raises over $204 million each year for UBC.
