of students.
“Our goal is to be the fund raising
arm lor the academic side of Texas
A&M University.”
McKee was hired as development
associate in the Mays College and
Graduate School of Business in Janu

“I’m responsible for fitting the
financial needs of the College of

“The college justifies certain
things that they want funded. For ex
ample, they are building a trading
room which will teach students to be
commodities traders,” McKee said.
McKee said that although she does
not interact directly with students, she
has always been indirectly involved
with student organizations.
"I will he happy to help in that
area. I can offer guidance and men
torship in their fund raising to keep
their clubs and activities going,”
McKee said.
Another responsibility McKee
has is locating contacts in the busi

jobs after college.
When asked about her goals, Mc

as much as she can from the experi

works with, and give back as much
as she can to the foundation.
Another goal is to bring the foun

closer contact.
“The foundation as a whole is
getting a lot more aggressive in it$
fund raising.
“We are working more closely
with this college than we have in the
past, and it’s important for all of
A&M to work closely with the foun
dation,” McKee said.
