🌟Meet the Team Tuesday features Andrew Lill, who is the Gift & Data Manager for the Shenandoah University Office of Advancement. His job is to ensure that all gifts made to the university are processed and recorded correctly. Whether by check or wire, all donations are identified, tagged, and given proper designation before reporting gift analyses to the Offices of Advancement and Accounting. He manages data regarding constituents and the gifts they donate. He also volunteers regularly for the Student and Alumni events that Shenandoah hosts. He has been a Wi******er native nearly his entire life where he grew up going to SU events, so he has been surrounded by the University’s presence, and the impact it has on the town.

Outside of work, Andrew likes to be outside and go on hikes. He’s recently got into reading again, and enjoys learning about various historical topics.

What Andrew enjoys most about the Shenandoah community is the small-town feel. “It’s nice to know that you can connect with anyone on a deep level through common interests. There’s so many opportunities to make yourself known at the University, and I look forward to getting to know more students, faculty/staff, and alumni.” Andrew enjoys working with his team in the Advancement Office, because they all have each other’s backs.♥💙

☑Fact Check Friday features this question: what is the name of the building given to Shenandoah in Old Town Wi******er?☑

✅Answer: The Feltner Building. The Feltner Community Foundation and the Wilbur M. Feltner family donated The Feltner Building to Shenandoah University in 2011. The historic property in downtown Wi******er, formerly known as 9 Court Square, is a complex of buildings situated at the northeast corner of Loudoun and Boscawen streets. The donation was the university’s largest-ever property gift to that point.

🏠Today it is home to the SU Advancement division including grants, major gifts, alumni, annual giving as well as institutional research.

✅Answer: 2007. The Dayton Bridge, funded in large part by alumni from Shenandoah’s Dayton, Virginia, era, is dedicated on the main campus in Wi******er, Virginia. The bridge spans Abrams Creek between Smith Library and Ruebush Hall.
