Fundraising Stars

Even in the tough economy that dictated unprecedented state budget cuts at Clemson University, Missy Ryan brought in more than $7.3 million in fundraising to the school, exceeding her annual goals, according to Claude Lilly, dean of the College of Business and Behavioral Science.

"Missy made over $7.8 million in asks to potential donors, and got over $7.3 million of that funded — an astounding number by any standards, but especially given the current economic climate," he explains.
