Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to introduce a new member of the University Advancement team: Louise Haaker – Grant Specialist. Ms. Haaker obtained her bachelor and master’s degrees in Public Administration from Florida International University, possesses 18 years of professional grant writing experience, and has held leadership roles in local governments in the State of Georgia.

I am confident that Ms. Haaker’s enthusiasm and expertise will lead to a significant increase in private grant funding for Savannah State University. Her immediate tasks are to implement a Grants Resource Center, and to develop a subject matter expert database in the Division of University Advancement; as well as to develop/recommend policies and procedures governing solicitation and administration of private grants at SSU. Toward that end, she will be reaching out to senior administration for information and input. Your support and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Ms. Haaker is located in room #6 of Gardner Hall, and can be reached directly by calling 353-3063 or emailing haakerl@savannahstate.edu. You should also feel free to contact Louise by calling the University Advancement main line at 356-2286.

Please join me in welcoming Louise Haaker to SSU/Division of University Advancement!
