TWU
names Anne Scott new director of Alumni Relations
3/10/08
DENTON – Creating a brand that will engage alumni of
all ages in the life of the university is the priority of
new Texas Woman’s University Director of Alumni Relations
Anne Scott.
“TWU is a
remarkable institution with a great story to tell,”
Ms. Scott said. “I look forward to working with alumni,
faculty and staff to usher in a new era of alumni relations.”
According to Dr.
Richard Nicholas, TWU vice president for student life, the
university created the director of alumni relations position
as a result of the recommendations from the TWU Alumni Task
Force, convened by the TWU Board of Regents in fall 2006.
“Ms. Scott
is the ideal person to help us better involve our alumni in
all facets of the university as we grow and move forward,”
Dr. Nicholas said.
“TWU’s
tradition of educating non-traditional students creates alumni
who also are not typical,” Ms. Scott said. “These
alumni associate more with their programs of study, as opposed
to their graduating class. I hope to offer opportunities to
capitalize on that association in order to connect more of
these former students to the university.”
More program-associated
events and networking opportunities are some of the ways Ms.
Scott says she hopes to improve alumni relations with younger
graduates. She also is updating the alumni database and creating
new electronic communications, which include a redesigned
website and an e-newsletter, to better communicate with alumni.
Supporting the efforts of the alumni-led TWU Former Students
Association also is one of her top goals.
“The TWU
FSA wishes to welcome Anne Scott to the campus,” said
Barbara Taylor, president of the TWU FSA. “We look forward
to becoming better acquainted and mutually working to increase
our membership and thus increase alumni support of TWU.”
Prior to joining
TWU, Ms. Scott served as the program director for the Oklahoma
State University Alumni Association for the past nine years.
During her tenure at OSU, she supervised the association’s
student programs including the Student Alumni Board/Ambassadors
and the Homecoming Steering Committee, and was responsible
for several awards and recognition programs including the
Distinguished Alumni Recognition, the Alumni Hall of Fame
and the outstanding seniors recognition. She also helped to
create Grandparent University, an intergenerational learning
experience.
“Through
my work at OSU, I have gained extensive knowledge of alumni
relations work and the importance of that work to the well-being
and future of a university,” Ms. Scott said.
Ms. Scott received
her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from OSU.
She is married to Charlie Scott and they have two grown sons
and two grandchildren. Ms. Scott is the daughter of Mabel
and the late Frank Eby of Perry, Okla.
