Owen will head development staff Kathryn Owen plans to use the fund-raising skills she gained in Colorado for the University By Teri Meeuwsen Higher Education Reporter When new Associate Vice Presi dent Kathryn Owen joins the Uni versity’s development staff Wednesday, she plans to uphold the University’s work on the in creases in donations and support from private parties. Her position was broadened and redefined during a recent re organization of the Development Office. Duncan McDonald, the vice president for Public Affairs and Development to whom Owen will report, said the University's Development Office has grown as more supporters make donations to programs, departments and scholarships. As a result, someone who pos sessed the necessary technical and leadership skills was needed to or ganize and lead the development office, McDonald said. He believes Owen is a good representative of these qualities. “She will be a strong technician for fund raising, a teacher for deans who are also fund raising for their own schools and pro grams and an ambassador to alum ni,” he said. When Owen was the director of development for the College of Arts and Sciences at the Universi ty of Colorado, the institution’s funds increased by more than $15 million and annual gifts from alumni, parents and friends went up 12 percent annually. Owen said she plans on using the skills she gained at the Univer sity of Colorado to finish the Uni versity of Oregon’s $200 million capital campaign by December 1998 and help plan post-campaign activities. “I’m very excited and honored to join the University’s team,” Owen said. She will also oversee gift plan ning, the annual fund, the Port land development program, cor porate, foundation and donor relations, and school and college development programs. Owen was selected from 17 can didates by a search panel chaired by University Librarian George Shipman. Other members includ ed Bella Corbin, director of alumni and development information ser vices for the UO Foundation, and Marian Friestad, associate profes sor of marketing in the Charles H. Lundquist College of Business. David Begun, development di rector for the College of Arts and Sciences and a member of the panel, said after a national search and a lengthy process of reviewing applicants, Owen was the best fit. “We are delighted that she was attracted to our program but not surprised with her caliber that she was interested in our organiza tion,” he said. catch the o.d.e. on the world wide wel fg Louies village s RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE ^ CHINESE AND AMERICAN EOOC Monday-Thursday I 1:00am-10:30pm Friday I 1:00am-Midnight Saturday Noon-1 1:00pm Sunday Noon-10:30pm ORDERS TO GO 343-4480 947 Franklin Blvd. Work Study & Student Employees.
