About Ana Burton

I can\'t define it, I can\'t tell someone who isn\'t a cougar what it\'s like. There\'s something that happens at Washington State; you quietly and subtly become infected.Washington State is a passion. Being a cougar is a passion.” ― Jim WaldenThe “Cougar Spirit” runs deep at Washington State University and it’s an awesome feeling to be part of a global community that bleeds crimson. Whether you’re an alum or Adopted Cougar like me, passions are fueled at WSU. Funding passions and connecting donors with students, faculty, and programs that inspire bold thinking and global impact is the mission of the WSU Foundation. Built upon a strong donor-centric culture, our team of 150+ shares in advancing the philanthropic endeavors of WSU and the generosity of those who make it possible. In my role within Talent Management, I connect employees to opportunities that enhance personal and professional growth, advance careers, and build upon a sense of community and camaraderie. We are looking for top talent to enrich our team of industry leaders and dynamic colleagues to connect with donors, fuel passions, and fund programs, scholarships, and opportunities meeting the needs of society and supporting our land-grant mission. Come discover your passion and join a team leading the way of a successful philanthropic enterprise.
