Since my arrival last spring, the Institutional Advancement (IA) team, the IA and Trusteeship Committees of the Board of Trustees, and I have been focused on creating a strategic plan for our division and how to align the operation best with the engagement and fundraising demands in the years ahead as part of IC 20/20. I want to share with you some recent organizational changes and steps we have taken in order to position us for that future.

To successfully raise an increased level of funds each year, we must focus our resources on engaging alumni, parents, and friends as efficiently and strategically as possible, and identifying and involving a greater number of individuals with the capacity and inclination to make leadership-level gifts to our college, as these donors will be crucial to our success in the upcoming campaign.
