Agriculture Related Foundation Director Patti Stewart
One of the things I learned is to teach people, and to show them how important their contributions can be, and how they can make a real difference in the lives of students or faculty or whatever it is that they're giving to; it just resonates with the donors, and it's just something that I love to do. I love to know people and make the matches, so that everybody benefits."
