Starting Jan. 2, Manny Sanchez will be assuming a new role for the University. He will transition from senior development officer to director of community engagement and industry partnerships. This role will find him managing external relations and community partnerships, as well as industry partners in engineering and manufacturing. Manny will work closely with President Ward in making sure UHart is positioned as a strong partner throughout Connecticut. He will be a member of the Allan Center for Career and Professional Development team, led by Alex Coury, and under the Development and Alumni Affairs department.
This new role will build on Manny's six years as a gift officer at the University, and more than a decade of public policy experience as an elected official. We look forward to the opportunities this new position will afford the University.
