Jenn’s knack for improving processes, capturing donor impact and building bridges makes her a key component for our newly formed Stewardship team. Whether she’s writing a donor’s story, enhancing communication avenues or uncovering new ways to express gratitude, she and her team are showering our donors and alumni around the world with appreciation.

With deep roots in North Dakota, Jenn and her husband have embarked on a new adventure in western South Dakota, where her husband is the principal of a rural school district. They are raising two young boys. In her free time, Jenn enjoys keeping up with her friends across the country, attending her small town’s events, and making it back to UND every month to work in the office.
