Cara Collins Named Senior Director of Development—Bush School of Government and Public Service

Cara Collins Named Senior Director of Development—Bush School of Government and Public Service

Dean Mark Welsh has announced that Cara Collins has been named Senior Director of Development for the Bush School. She currently works for the Texas A&M Foundation in support of the Bush School.

“We are tremendously excited to have Cara Collins join us as the Bush School’s Senior Development Officer.  We’re also grateful to the Texas A&M Foundation for giving her this opportunity.  Every member of our development team is totally committed to the success of our students, faculty, college, and university.  It’s a joy to work with them.  Cara brings talent, experience, proven leadership, and a new perspective to that team, along with a wonderful passion for the job.  We’re very lucky to have her!”

In 2008, Collins earned a bachelor of science degree in animal science from the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences at Texas A&M, with a minor in business administration from Mays Business School. She also holds a graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management from the Bush School. While an undergraduate, Collins worked for ST Genetics, assuming the role of Sire Coordinator and Coordinator of Export Operations upon graduation, serving both domestic and international clients. In 2009, Collins joined Auxano Corporation as Operations Manager.

Eager to find a career dedicated to serving others, Collins joined the Texas A&M Foundation in 2010. “At the Texas A&M Foundation, our work has meaning, and it is a pleasure to wake up every morning knowing that I have the opportunity to serve our team, our donors, and our academic partners,” said Collins. Over her tenure, she has developed and implemented several processes that have resulted in increased philanthropic impact for the Foundation. Collins enthusiastically joins our team and brings knowledge, leadership, and dedication as a passionate professional dedicated to purposeful philanthropy. 

“The opportunity to serve the Bush School and the legacy of President Bush is a tremendous honor,” Collins said. “I see this new role as another way I can help our dedicated donors and ensure greater public impact for the Bush School and Texas A&M University at home and abroad.”
