The Sigma Tau Gamma Foundation welcomes Patrick Gotham, Salisbury ‘09, as its new Director of Advancement. He will assist the CEO in setting the Foundation’s strategy for soliciting monthly, annual, and capital campaign contributions, which includes estate planning, undergraduate giving, parents and family members, alumni donor acquisition, gift solicitation, and stewardship.

I’m looking forward to engaging with current undergraduates and alumni to learn more about their experiences with Sigma Tau Gamma,” said Gotham. “This is a great organization that impacts lives in so many different ways. I hope to build strong relationships with members and encourage them to stay involved beyond graduation so that together we can continue to provide enriching experiences for generations of Sig Taus to come!

Gotham is a 2009 initiate from Salisbury University. Gotham was a founding father of the Epsilon Rho Chapter and also served as the VP of Finance and IFC President as an undergraduate. He graduated with a double major in business management and marketing in 2011.
