College Brings New Leadership To Alumni Office
Change marked the beginning of the academic year in the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, formerly known as the Office of Alumni Affairs. The new name reflects a new focus on more coordination between parent and alumni activities under the leadership of new director Pamela Chamberlain.
Chamberlain comes to Washington College from Drexel University and its affiliate, MCP Hahnemann Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA, where she served as assistant vice president for alumni relations. Prior to her experience at Drexel, Chamberlain directed alumni programming and alumni annual funds at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX, for almost ten years. Originally from Austin, TX, Chamberlain is a cum laude graduate of The University of Texas at Austin and has been a volunteer as well as a professional in institutional advancement. She has worked as a freelance writer and in her early career worked in events planning and promotion of the arts.
She and husband Dick live in Rock Hall, MD, where they enjoy sailing.
Chamberlain comments, “I hope to be able to build on the terrific amount of alumni goodwill generated by Trams Hollingsworth in her years as director. She’s a hard act to follow but I’m looking forward to a great year with expanded programs, a big effort to bring everyone back for reunion and solid results from the alumni and parents Washington College Fund.”
Carol Tait has been appointed associate director in charge of the alumni portion of the Washington College Fund. Tait, who has worked in the College’s development and alumni relations offices, was previously employed by a Washington, DC, healthcare law firm. She has a B.S. in education from the University of Maryland, a M.Ed. from American University and is working toward a master’s degree in history at Washington College.
