After 4 years as a dedicated member of the Murdock Trust, Shannon Hendricks is pursuing a new role in the nonprofit and philanthropic space. We are deeply grateful for Shannon's contributions to the Investments team and broader organization. Her data analysis and research skills have sharpened our work, all with the mission of the Trust at the center of her daily rhythms and work. Shannon joined the Trust in the Fall of 2020 as an Oregon Fellow, after earning her degree and MBA at the University of Notre Dame. She joined the Investments team in 2021, and has since played an essential role in enhancing our data and analytics in due diligence and portfolio management. While we will miss working alongside her, we are extremely excited for her future endeavors. Please join us in saying farewell as we wish Shannon all the best!
