Background

About Temperance Russell

As a Development Director at Coastal Carolina University (CCU) since April 2023, I lead and manage fundraising initiatives and campaigns that support the university's mission and vision. I have a Master of Arts degree in Women's Studies from San Diego State University, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications with a minor in Women and Gender Studies from College of Charleston. With over three years of experience in the higher education sector, I have developed strong skills in leadership, public speaking, and project management. I have successfully collaborated with various stakeholders, such as alumni, donors, faculty, staff, and students, to cultivate and maintain relationships, increase engagement, and secure donations. I am passionate about advancing the causes of women and gender equity, diversity and inclusion, and social justice in the academic and professional fields. I strive to create a positive and supportive environment for the CCU community and beyond.
