The manager of the Office of Alumni Affairs is our secretary, Ellen Shufelt ’84H. Ellen has worked in Alumni Affairs for over 30 years, and she was the first individual named an honorary alumna of the College. Ellen serves as editorial assistant for Reflections and Recording Secretary of the Alumni Association. She is invaluable in the planning and implementation of special events and keeps us all in forward motion. She is the cheery voice at the end of the phone line and a calm and helpful presence in all situations. Ellen has an incredible knack for putting people at ease.

She has exceptional organization skills and keeps our resources and offices in fine order.

Donna Chase joined our staff in the fall of 2002, as a clerk in charge of gift and data entry. Over the years, she has learned a great deal about our database and integrating technology in all aspects of our work and currently holds the title of Alumni Affairs Database Manager. A previous stint with the United States Postal Service enables her to speak “postal,” so she has helped us to streamline our mailings and increase our returns of changed addresses. She is a crucial member of the Red Dragon Open Golf Tournament team, and she chaired a consortium of database users from several SUNY colleges and continues to act as alternate chair.
