Responsibilities
Jennie joined the University Relations team in 2023 and is primarily responsible for increasing financial support for PLU alongside alumni, parents, and friends in alignment with PLU’s mission. As an avid LUTE fan, this is like a dream job that strengthens partnerships and relationship building skills. Prior to joining PLU, Jennie worked in the museum sector for over a decade as the Development Director for Greentrike focused on raising support for everything from memberships to major gifts.
