Rosie Lynch advances the university’s growth through official communications with donors, prospective students, alumni, and partners as the Strategy & Impact Officer. She has been part of the Future Generations team since 2015. Rosie earned her Bachelor of Arts with Summa Cum Laude Honors from James Madison University, double majoring in Cultural Anthropology and Interdisciplinary Religion with a minor in Asian Studies. She received one of the Honors College’s Hillcrest Scholarships to fund independent research on an international yogic tradition in Mysore, India, resulting in an ethnography published for her Senior Honors thesis. She brings this educational background plus eight years of experience in higher education instruction and extensive community organizing to enact Future Generations mission. Rosie also earned her Master of Arts in Applied Community Development in the Class of 2020.

From 2014-2020, Rosie volunteered as a climate activist leader in Harrisonburg, Virginia – first as a campus student activist and then with the community-based organization, Climate Action Alliance of the Valley. Rosie recently moved from the United States to El Salvador, where her husband teaches middle School English while Rosie continues to work for Future Generations from afar. In her free-time she loves creative writing, learning new vegetarian recipes, and supporting sustainable development in the Salvadoran communities she visits in her new country.
