SILS welcomes Dwain Teague as Director of Development
May 1, 2008—The School of Information and Library Science appointed Dwain Teague as director of development on March 17, 2008.
Teague comes to SILS with over ten years of development and fundraising experience, much of it in the library world. He began his development career as a fundraising consultant with the J.F. Smith Group, Inc., in Auburn, Alabama, in 1997. From there, he became the associate director of development at East Carolina University's Joyner Library, where he oversaw major gift fundraising.
Most recently, Teague was at the University of Central Florida (UCF), serving first as the director of development for the UCF libraries and later as the director of development for the university's college of arts and humanities.
Teague made a number of presentations during his time at UCF to help libraries and library schools make the most of their fundraising efforts. He presented a poster, "Reconnect with your alumni and connect to donors," and gave a talk, "Ethics and fundraising: Challenges and opportunities," at the 2007 annual meeting of the American Library Association.
Teague holds a bachelor's degree in communication and a master's degree in English/technical and professional communication, both from East Carolina University.
At SILS, Teague will oversee the School's development efforts, planning and implementing fundraising efforts that will help SILS continue to grow as a leader in information and library science research and education.
