While building on tradition, Shane looks to the future. As Director of Development for the College of Arts and Sciences, he keeps alumni connected to the University and inspires generosity in support of advancing UND’s mission.
Shane loves to travel and visit new places, which serves him well as he travels around the country meeting UND alumni. While visiting new cities around the world, Shane discovers and experiences the best food he can find. In the warmer months, he loves to golf and tries to be outside as much as possible. When it’s colder, he enjoys movies and finding the best new shows to watch. Currently, he’s spending a lot of his time renovating his first home in Grand Forks.
