The College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) at UNC Greensboro is pleased to welcome Dorian Thompson ’14 as its new development officer, effective April 1, 2025.
A proud UNCG alumna and dedicated Spartan, Thompson holds a B.A. in media studies and brings nearly a decade of experience in fundraising, university advancement, and relationship building in higher education. Her journey in advancement spans roles at both the UNC System Office and right here at UNCG, where she previously served in the Alumni and Advancement spaces.
In her new role, Thompson will be responsible for identifying, cultivating, and soliciting leadership annual gifts and major gifts, as well as stewarding individual donors. She will also assist the senior director of development (search currently underway) with fundraising campaigns and donor communications, playing a key role in strengthening the College’s development efforts.
Thompson specializes in crafting compelling stories and engagement strategies that inspire donors to give, support student success, and foster deeper alumni connections. Her expertise includes donor stewardship, cultivating alumni affinity groups, and securing meaningful gifts that align with institutional goals.
With a passion for how media shapes the world, Thompson brings a blend of creativity and strategy to every campaign. Outside the office, she enjoys photography, music, and creating travel and video content — pursuits that reflect her spirit as a digital storyteller.
“I’m thrilled to return to the College of Arts & Sciences in this new capacity,” Thompson said. “UNCG shaped so much of who I am today, and I’m excited to give back by helping to grow support for the students, faculty, and programs that make this College so impactful.”
Please join us in welcoming Dorian Thompson back to the College of Arts & Sciences!
