Shenandoah University is excited to introduce Sarah, an innovative Virtual Engagement Officer designed to enhance connection, communication and support across Shenandoah’s growing community of alumni, donors and supporters.

As an interactive 24/7 digital resource, Sarah assists community members by helping them discover the latest university news, identify ways to engage with Shenandoah and seamlessly connect with Office of Advancement staff.

Rather than replacing human interaction, Sarah is built to complement and extend the reach of Shenandoah’s existing Advancement team. By quickly addressing routine inquiries, providing round-the-clock guidance and connecting supporters to relevant engagement opportunities, Sarah frees up advancement officers to build deeper, personalized relationships across the Shenandoah community.

This virtual engagement officer is Shenandoah University’s latest commitment to the ethical and practical implementation of artificial intelligence. By leveraging the power of AI to handle routine questions and streamline information access, Shenandoah continues to use modern tools thoughtfully to drive its philanthropic mission and strengthen the human relationships that form the foundation of the Shenandoah family.

Shenandoah invites all alumni, donors and friends of the university to explore this dynamic new tool as the university continues working to support student success. To interact with Sarah or learn more about upcoming alumni and donor opportunities, visit shenandoahu.ai.
