Mission

The role of the Advancement Office in supporting the College mission is to build and strengthen relationships with alumni, communicating the needs and achievements of the College so that they can make their most meaningful contributions.   These contributions may be in the form of expertise, ideas, insights, guidance of current students or young alumni, leadership, time, or money, and the relationships they reflect should be mutually beneficial and satisfying.  The Advancement Office supplements this work with outreach to and relationship-building with parents, community, foundations, and other friends and donors.
