Sullivan’s Landing Alum Sullivan Joins NGU as Director of Alumni Engagement
Lamont Sullivan (’98, MCM ’13), who holds three degrees from North Greenville University, has returned to his alma mater to take the university’s alumni relations to new heights.
Te youngest of six, Sullivan grew up in Greenville, SC, in a Section 8, single-parent home. He didn’t meet his father until his late teens.
So, when he walked across the stage in Turner Chapel at North Greenville University to receive his associate’s degree in 1999, he knew he had “over- come so much to reach that moment.”
“I knew this achievement was huge for a first-gener- ation graduate like me,” Sullivan says. “I left North Greenville prepared to make an impact wherever I landed.”
After a short stint in high-level corporate sales, Sullivan spent the next 16 years serving with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Upstate — part of the largest youth mentoring organization in the U.S. He rose to the rank of CEO in 2015.
“Tis opportunity meant so much to me because the children I served were just like me when I was growing up. God blessed me with the platform to show these families what the other side of a tough life looks like,” Sullivan says.
Sullivan caught the attention of Leadership Green- ville and the Diversity Leaders Initiative, causing both organizations to nominate him as one of their class members. And, as NGU’s executive team began searching for a director of alumni engagement in early 2019, he caught their attention, as well.
“Lamont Sullivan is as respected a leader in Greenville as there is. His approach to humble servant-leadership has made an impact everywhere he has worked,” says NGU President Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr.
Sullivan accepted the position at NGU and started in June 2019. He says his vision in his new role is to create more opportunities for alumni families to reconnect with NGU friends, faculty, and staff.
“If you haven’t visited campus in a while, it’s time. I invite you to see what God is doing here at NGU. Even more, I invite you to become part of it,” Sulli- van adds.
