“I am delighted to recognize Doug’s and Patty’s many and lasting
contributions to the development effort at Yale, and especially to the Yale Tomorrow
campaign, with this well-deserved promotion,” says Reichenbach.
Pedersen first came to Yale in the 1980s as a postdoctoral fellow, having completed
her Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University. She subsequently held several posts at
the School of Medicine and was a visiting scientist at the Royal Academy of Sciences
in Edinburgh, Scotland.
She worked, first as a freelance grant writer, and then became a development
officer for the Peabody Museum of Natural History in 1997. She later became involved
in the Corporate and Foundation Relations (C&F) activities of the University,
and was appointed to the newly established position of university director of
C&F in 2005.
Pedersen and her team have attracted several eight-figure gifts to the University.
In the year just completed, C&F raised a record $105 million and is continuing
to build on that effort.
Doug Hawthorne
Hawthorne holds both B.A. and M.A. degrees from Yale (1971 and 1975, respectively).
He also holds a M.Div. degree from Vanderbilt University. He began working at
the Yale College Registrar’s Office in 1976, and in 1980 he became manager
of the Office of Student Record Systems (the precursor of today’s Student
Financial and Administrative Services organization). In 1986, he became manager
of Project Eli, an IBM-funded initiative to support and encourage the instructional
use of computers. He joined the Office of Development in 1990.
In preparation for the launch of the “… and for Yale” campaign
in the 1990s, Hawthorne led the restructuring of the Office of Development’s
administrative infrastructure and information system. Shortly thereafter he became
director of Development’s newly created Information and Support Services
organization. Today, he has overall responsibility for most of the office’s
operational activities, including the Business Office, contribution processing,
alumni records, information technology, research, production services and, most
recently, staff training and professional development.
