Why I Wear Green
I grew up with UND pride, attending hockey games at the then-new Ralph Engelstad Arena beginning in elementary school. I moved away after college but returned to Grand Forks as an adult with a young family and an even greater appreciation for the impact UND has on our community. I’m excited to contribute to an institution that has been part of my life for so long and continues to make a meaningful difference in our community.
Overview
As director of marketing and communications, Meghan leads strategic initiatives that strengthen alumni and donor engagement and advance the mission of the UND Alumni Association & Foundation. Drawing on her experience in strategic communications, website strategy, and event promotion, she brings fresh ideas and a collaborative spirit to her work. She's a trusted sounding board and motivator for her colleagues, adept at coordinating marketing campaigns across multiple channels and bringing people together across the organization and the campus to achieve shared goals.
Meghan’s coordination skills come in handy at home, where three kids in elementary and middle school keep the family busy with sports and activities. When she does slow down, she enjoys walks with her husband, Sean, and their golden retriever, Jerry. She also loves visiting out-of-state family and cheering on her favorite Wisconsin sports teams. Go Packers and Brewers!
