University of Calgary with Andrea Morris

May 19, 2021

Great communities often have great universities at the heart of them. This has been proven true time and time again, as universities lead the way for development. Douglas Nelson sits down with the University of Calgary’s Interim Vice-President for Development and the leader for the “Energize: The Campaign for Eyes High” campaign that raised $1.41 Billion, Andrea Morris. Andrea talks about philanthropy in general, the challenges the campaign faced due to the global pandemic, and the importance of going back to basics. She also talks about connecting with people and humanizing them, not just as donors or colleagues but as real human beings.
