MATT DETJEN FUNDRAISING AT INDIANA’S ALL-BOYS WABASH COLLEGE  

Matt Detjen is serving as the Assistant Director of the Greater Wabash Foundation at Wabash College in Indiana.   The 55-acre wooded campus is located in Crafordsville, Indiana, a community of 14,000 located 45 miles northwest of Indianapolis.  Detjen serves as part of the fundraising team for this private, independent, four year liberal arts college of 860 men. It is one of the few remaining all-male colleges in the nation.   

Detjen was part of Wabash’s comprehensive capital campaign, which surpassed its goal of $132.5 million, and represents three times more money than the 172 year-old school had previously raised in a single campaign. The $136.1 million is believed to be the largest campaign total ever by a college with fewer than 900 students.  

Prior to coming to Wabash, Detjen worked at Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana's only comprehensive children's hospital.  He began his career with Lambda Chi Alpha Headquarters, first as an ELC, then heading expansion efforts for the Fraternity. 

Wabash is home to 10 national fraternities, including Lambda Chi Alpha.
