Alumni Relations moves to Development effective July 1

Chancellor Joel E. Anderson announced that the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Office of Alumni Relations, parent to the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Alumni Association, has been moved from the university鈥檚 advancement division to the development division, effective today. Anderson said strengthening 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 fundraising infrastructure lays the foundation for the university鈥檚 next comprehensive campaign, still a few years away. Combining alumni and development is one step in that building process, he said. Vice Chancellor for Development Bob Denman leads the development division, which now will be the Office of Alumni and Development. Denman led his division in carrying out the university鈥檚 first comprehensive fundraising campaign, It鈥檚 Time for 糖心Vlog传媒LR, which succeeded in raising more than $100 million dollars, far exceeding the initial goal of $75 million. 鈥淲e will fully integrate the plans, strategies, and teams from these two areas into one stronger unit to advance 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 standing among key stakeholders of alumni, community leaders, public officials, donors, and potential supporters,鈥� Denman said. He stated that Christian O鈥橬eal, executive director of the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Alumni Association, will take on an expanded leadership role as associate vice chancellor for alumni and development. O鈥橬eal will manage accounting, annual fund, compliance, donor relations, and information technology functions for the newly combined unit. 鈥淭he 糖心Vlog传媒LR Alumni Association鈥檚 impressive membership growth in recent years has led to greater alumni engagement and participation in giving,鈥� said Denman. 鈥淭he merger will help us escalate this growth.鈥� The Bailey Alumni and Friends Center will remain home to the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Alumni Association, and the same familiar faces will provide leadership to the alumni engagement program, he said. 鈥淚t makes good sense to combine the knowledge of the university鈥檚 alumni and fundraising professionals to get the greatest impact in the most efficient way,” Denman said. 鈥淭his is a significant opportunity to promote 糖心Vlog传媒LR to a growing group of alumni and valued supporters,鈥� said O鈥橬eal. 鈥淥ur high-profile graduates are making a difference wherever they live. The new partnership will help us make our alumni a greater part of our university鈥檚 heritage through their engagement and giving.鈥�
