director of communications

About

My name is Devin Dunn, and I want to have a positive impact on my community in how I live, where I work, and what I do. Currently, I am a student at Colorado State University. I am seeking a degree in Communication Studies with a minor in Technical and Science Communication. In addition to this degree, I am seeking experience in the non-profit field, specifically within the area of development and fundraising. I am extremely interested in grant-writing and donor communication. This passion started when I was 16 and fundraising to complete my Eagle Scout project. I loved the idea of a community coming together for a greater cause. While at CSU, I have interned with Ram Catholic in the development office focusing on grant writing and connecting donors with students. I have also worked for Call-a-ram, and the division of university advancement where I called alumni, built relationships and fund-raised for scholarship initiatives held by the university.
