Ullysses Tucker likes a good challenge. After spending the first 20 years of his career working in media, he entered the development profession in 2000. He worked for the State University of New York Plattsburgh, New Jersey's Montclair State University, Louisiana's Grambling State University, and Western Illinois University before joining London South Bank University (LSBU) as head of individual giving in 2008. At Western Illinois, he grew the annual giving program from $1.5 million to nearly $3 million, adding 5,000 new donors and nearly doubling the phonathon's revenue. Tucker has spent the past three years in London building an annual giving program for LSBU. In this interview, Tucker talks about the challenges he's faced in his position in England.
