Apra-IL presents True Life: A Day in Prospect Development. Inspired by the MTV show True Life, this series exposes the everyday experiences of Prospect Development professionals. In addition to learning from the unique perspectives of our participants, we hope that you join us by sharing pictures from your day. Use #DayinPD to contribute and follow as we dive into the lives of our colleagues over the next few weeks.

Jessica Szadziewicz, Apra-IL Board Advisor and past Vice President, shares a day in her life working as Assistant Director, Prospect Management and Research at Loyola University Chicago.

True Life: Lu Wolf is My Sidekick

Heading to Loyola's Water Tower campus via the CTA Red Line. Thankfully, no delays today!

Settling into my desk, complete with our wolf mascot.

Current Apra-IL Vice President, Peter Kotowski, hard at work in our sixteenth-floor office that looks like a basement. We are both lucky to have fancy standing desks. 

I'm going over portfolios, gift officer metrics, and Crain's. Finishing off my day, I complete a few research requests, and then head home to walk the dog!
