Ellen du Plessis
Research & Faculty Liaison Coordinator
Ellen joined the team in July 2006 after more than a decade in public service.
She brings to her role as Data and Research Coordinator the commitment to managing,
processing and filtering large bodies of data for profiling and analysis.
She identifies potential major supporters, and disseminates relevant information to appropriate
destinations. Her goal is to develop a comprehensive system of donor network research and
manage the information to help to maximize income to the University.
Her favorite quote is “the best way out is always through” (Robert Frost), and she applies this broadly.
