Colligan’s duties at the foundation will include managing all board of director logistics; providing high-level administrative support to the executive director and executive committee; scholarship administration and tracking; and office management and administrative assistance, among other duties.
Before joining the Alumni & Foundation, Colligan was most recently a human resources administrative assistant at TEAM Industries.
