Why I Wear Green

I enjoy working with a great group of people all focused on the success of UND students, faculty and staff. It’s incredibly fulfilling to interact with students who have benefited from the generosity of our alumni and friends and hear firsthand how grateful they are for the support they have received. 

Overview

As the primary spokesperson and media contact, Milo serves as the voice of the UND Alumni Association & Foundation. Milo enjoys writing about interesting and successful alumni around the country, creating scripts for major events like the State of the UND Alumni Association & Foundation Address and the Alumni Honors Banquet, and producing videos that support our vision of fostering connections, inspiring generosity, and advancing the University of North Dakota.  

Milo’s work has been repeatedly honored with CASE District VI “Best of” awards.  

When not at work, you might find him golfing, playing basketball at the Altru Family YMCA, or working on home improvement projects.
