JAMESTOWN, N.D. (UJ) – The University of Jamestown has welcomed Tara Kapp to the Development and Alumni Relations department. She will be overseeing the efforts of directing the Jimmie Booster Club and the Annual Progress Fund.

Vice President of Development and Alumni Relations Brett Moser states, “Tara’s skill set is exactly what we were looking for in our search, as she brings a background of being a communicator, event planner, and fundraiser to our team. I believe she will build upon a great foundation of the Jimmie Booster Club and Annual Fund; taking our efforts in connecting with alumni, friends, and boosters to the next level.”

Tara (Wolf) Kapp is a native of Jamestown and a 2000 graduate of Jamestown College with a bachelor’s degree in Communications and minor in Art. Before coming to UJ, Tara worked in radio, was a business owner, and most recently was in business development/relations.

As to why she chose UJ, Tara said, “Being accepted into the University family as the Booster Club and Annual Fund Director is incredibly surreal for me! I’ve been super blessed with my careers leading up to this new opportunity, but this just feels like I’m coming home, as if all my experiences in the past were leading me back to UJ.

“I remember being 17 and telling my mother how much I wanted to get out of Jamestown and go to college somewhere else. Then she told me about how my great-grandparents met on the campus of Jamestown College and my great-grandmother graduated from Jamestown College in 1915. Like most amazing mothers, my momma knew what she was talking about. I cannot imagine being anything less than a Jimmie. I was given my great-grandmother’s 1915 graduation ring when I graduated from JC in 2000 – a near 85 years later! The support I’ve already received from many members of the UJ family is overwhelming and I’m beyond honored to officially be back on campus.

“I very much look forward to what my future brings and what being a full-time Jimmie will mean for myself, my family and my fellow UJ team members. It’s a superb day to be a Jimmie!”
