Once given the nickname “Lois Lane,” Alyssa has a knack for sniffing out a good story, and with an alumni base of 120,000, good stories seem to fall in her lap. As editor of the UND Alumni magazine, she coordinates the creation, production, and delivery of compelling communication initiatives across various platforms.
She exercises her creativity to advance the University of North Dakota, and she also exercises her creativity in the kitchen, where she enjoys experimenting with recipes and cooking methods. In the summertime, her tiny garden keeps her busy during the week, and weekends are spent at Stump Lake, N.D., around a campfire with her husband and two sons. Alyssa’s favorite season is football season, and her family never misses a Fighting Hawks home game.
Alyssa has served various marketing and communications functions at the UND Alumni Association & Foundation, creating high-impact pieces for North Dakota Spirit | The Campaign for UND, Sioux Awards and donor profiles, speechwriting, and general electronic communications initiatives. She puts her breadth of knowledge about the University and Grand Forks communities, combined with years of multichannel communications experience, to work in sharing the UND Alumni Magazine with 100,000+ alumni and friends across the world.
