Debbie Williams

As vice president of communications, Debbie Williams leads a team whose work provides fundraisers and the foundation with communication strategy; editorial and creative services; digital engagement; and video production as tools to meet fundraising goals. Williams was previously an integral part of Penn State’s communications efforts, where she served as editor of The Penn Stater magazine—a full-color, bi-monthly publication distributed to the largest alumni association in the United States. She was later tapped to direct campaign communications for the university’s Grand Destiny Campaign, a billion-dollar fundraising effort that surpassed its original $1 billion goal by more than $400 million.
