Alumni Outreach Coordinator of
Alumni Relations
As the Alumni Outreach Coordinator of
Alumni Relations Megan Cheever, '03, is the newest member of the Alumni
Relations team. She works on encouraging alumni of SUNY Geneseo to remain
active with the University. Megan
creates a number of opportunities for alumni to attend regional events,
volunteer and be actively involved in the continued success of the university
and its students. She also works
directly with the Regional Program designed specifically for alumni.
Megan graduated from Geneseo in 2003
with a Bachelors of Science in Communication and English. She began
working here at SUNY Geneseo as the Assistant Director of The Fund for
Geneseo. For almost three years, Megan
oversaw the Phonathon Program and the Senior Challenge Initiative. She spent her next five years as both a
fundraiser and as an alumni relations professional at The Rochester Institute
of Technology. While there, Megan worked
for three years as the Assistant Director for The Saunders College of
Business—raising and managing money for scholarships, planning events and
working with alumni boards. She was then
promoted and worked with the Alumni Relations Chapters Team where she managed
regional events for RIT. While holding
this position, Megan says she, “saw amazing places and met amazing people, and
it was truly rewarding.” After working
at RIT, Megan began her current position at SUNY Geneseo on November 1st,
2011.
Once an undergraduate student here
at SUNY Geneseo, Megan remembers her time at Geneseo fondly. She says her favorite thing about Geneseo as
that “Geneseo feeling.” Megan describes
this feeling as, “the friendliness from everyone you walk by on campus, the
warm welcome from every business in the village and just how at peace I feel
walking down Main Street every day.” She
says those feelings have not changed since her time as a student and attributes
Geneseo as the reason she has become the successful person she is today.
While Megan is certainly kept busy
with all of her duties in the office, she still enjoys keeping active outside
of work. She enjoys practicing yoga, going
out to movies, reading and traveling during her spare time. Traveling is also something that Megan has
the opportunity to do while working with our Regional Program. Within this program, she works to build a
strong regional presence for SUNY Geneseo in the most populated cities across
the country. Megan says that she is,
“thrilled to be able to play a part in all the Geneseo has to offer to our
alumni.”
Looking at the year ahead, Megan is
eager to work on many regional events, traveling to different cities and
meeting with Geneseo alumni. Megan says
that, “everyone has such a great story to tell about their time in school and I
can’t wait to hear all of them!”
We hope you will join us in welcoming our newest member of the Alumni Team!
