There she developed stewardship programs and events for the College's donors and worked to create personalized touches for members of the lifetime giving society. During her time there she oversaw the opening of the Ruane Friar Development Center, the men's basketball practice facility, and the Ryan Center for Business Studies, the new home to the business school, as well as the close of the largest campaign in school history at $185 million raised.
Rubin worked as the director of advancement events and donor relations at Loyola University Maryland for eight years, where she designed and implemented a multi-faceted stewardship plan for all donors.

A Queens, N.Y. native, Rubin previously worked for several years in events, communications, and fundraising roles as a member of the athletic departments at St. John's University and Georgetown University.
Beyond the Bio
What is your favorite thing to do in the city of Pittsburgh?
Strolling to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of my neighborhood, the Strip District.
Favorite sports moment at Pitt?
I am sure there are many more to come, but, beating UCF during the Hall of Fame weekend. We had a great induction on Friday night, and I woke up Saturday just knowing we were going to win that game. Glad my gut feeling was right!
