For more than 10,000 years humankind has been moved by great stories. Stories have changed the course of history, been used to right wrongs, and to educate new generations. In fact, at the Summer Institute, we devote an entire General Session to hearing stories from our faculty, revealing key lessons learned while they were in the field. Each of our educational institutions is bursting with powerful, meaningful stories. As advancement professionals, we have the opportunity and the challenge to capture this vital information and bring it to life. Many believe that the best fundraisers are also exceptional storytellers. This elective session will build upon some of the lessons learned in the General Session while diving into the techniques and approaches that will help anyone learn to tell a great story, including time to role play what you’ve learned with your classmates!
