CLASS GIVING TEAM

Charlotte Pfamatter

5th

Charlotte joined the University of Richmond in 2023 as part of the Alumni Engagement team before joining Annual Giving in October 2024. She oversees student and young alumni philanthropy initiatives, primarily the Senior Legacy Campaign and 5th Reunion Committee.

Charlotte earned a B.S. from Longwood University in 2021 and an M.Ed. from Liberty University in 2023. She is currently pursuing a Graduate Certificate at the University of Richmond and is proud to call herself a Spider. A lifelong Richmonder, Charlotte's connection to the University of Richmond began long before joining the staff. As a kid, she spent summers at UR summer camps and danced along in her mom’s Zumba classes at the Weinstein Center for Recreation.

If you run into Charlotte around Richmond, there's a good chance she's at a Flying Squirrels game, sipping an iced coffee, recommending her latest favorite read, planning her next adventure, or listening to Lady Gaga.
