Bartlett and Arranz join development team

The Rollins development and alumni relations team has welcomed two new members. Sarah Bartlett (pictured above) has joined as director of development, and Karin Arranz has come on board as assistant director of development services.

Bartlett brings a depth of public health fund-raising experience, serving as senior associate director of development at The Carter Center and as a member of the Foundations team at CARE. She has secured multi-million-dollar funding from foundations, government agencies, and individual philanthropists to combat neglected tropical diseases, advance human rights, and promote gender equality.

Bartlett earned her Master’s in Public Administration from the Sol Price School of Public Policy at the University of Southern California.

Immediately before joining Rollins, she was director of development at Georgia Organics, where she served on the senior management team and set the overall fund-raising strategy.

“The Rollins School of Public Health is one of Atlanta’s greatest assets,” says Bartlett. “The alumni and faculty I’ve worked with are among my biggest role models and heroes, so I’m honored to work alongside them. Together we can build partnerships and secure resources necessary to advance research, scholarship, and programming.”

Arranz comes to Rollins from Georgia State University, where she served as a development associate. Prior to that post, she served as donor services coordinator for the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. She received her degree in mass communications from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.

Arranz will coordinate operational support for the Rollins development and alumni relations team and manage projects to support fund-raising goals.

“We are delighted to welcome two seasoned professionals to the development and alumni relations team,” says Kathryn Graves, associate dean for development and external relations.
