The new VPs: Seeking solutions Two new vice presidents joined DePauw early in the 2021-22 school year. To get a glimpse of their personal and professional philosophy and values, we asked them to provide a quote that speaks to them and to describe, in their own words, their motivation to work at DePauw.
ANNE CUNNINGHAM, a development leader at the Case School of Engineering, was named DePauw’s vice president for development and alumni engagement.
INSPIRATION
IN HER OWN WORDS
“Hard work is about risk. It begins when you deal with the things that you’d rather not deal with: fear of failure, fear of standing out, fear of rejection. Hard work is about training yourself to leap over this barrier, drive through the other barrier. And after you’ve done that, to do it again the next day.”
“It is an honor and privilege to work with DePauw alumni to build and support this great institution to achieve even more in the future. Philanthropy allows us to think beyond the possible, to consider the impact of not just today but for many generations forward. Each and every day the Development and Alumni Engagement division strives to strengthen the relationships and commitment of all alumni with DePauw University.”
