InstitutionalAdvancement, Alumni relations, & Public Relations
V.P. for Institutional Advancement
Office: 30 College Drive (ext. 4556)
The College’s institutional advancement, alumni relations, and public relations offices are
responsible for securing financial support for the College and for building relationships with
alumni and friends. Financial support comes from alumni and donors in many ways, such as:
cash gifts, gifts-in-kind, establishment of scholarships, gifts of stock, planned giving programs,
and memorial gifts and honorary gifts made by family and friends. The Office of Alumni
Relations plans and coordinates all alumni activities, and serves as the primary point of contact
for alumni to the institution. The Office of Public Relations manages the college’s media
relations, community relations, advertising, marketing and the development and/or distribution
of its publications, all in an effort to promote the college, its faculty, staff, students, activities, and
accomplishments. Student organizations or individuals are expected to communicate to the Office
of Public Relations the appropriate details of any college events, actions, or accomplishments
that warrant publicity. In the event that a student activity or program is cancelled, postponed, or
changed in any way, the appropriate organization or individual should immediately notify the
Public Relations Office so that publicity can be promptly amended. In addition, all publications,
publicity or promotional material (including but not limited to brochures, flyers, posters, news
releases, solicitation and newsletters) must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Public
Relations prior to distribution to assure accuracy, consistency and quality.
