Description
The EMU Women in Philanthropy Oral History Project documents the organization's history across its 15 years of giving to the EMU community. In 2025, Matt Jones sat down with Jill Hunsberger, Associate Vice President for Advancement at EMU, about her involvement with WIP. Hunsberger is a founding member of the organization, helping introduce the idea for it after learning about women's giving circles. In this interview she talks about how philanthropy has followed her throughout life, her relationships with other board members like Linda Pritchard, and some of the projects she has found most special and important.
