Our Mission
The Office of University Advancement supports the University's primary mission of creating knowledge through research and dissemination of that knowledge through effective teaching, by engaging our alumni, friends, parents, and the community, telling the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ story, and being faithful stewards in what is entrusted to our custody.
In support of these efforts, University Advancement works to increase the resources available to the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ by generating private philanthropy and volunteer support.
The mission of University Advancement is to help provide the critical resources for the University to achieve its mission of providing educational excellence to a diverse undergraduate and graduate student body.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Tony Gregorio, University Advancement oversees the Office of Development, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Alumni Association, and the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Foundation.
Your support is appreciated.
The ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ deeply appreciates each and every gift from our alumni, students, parents, and extended community.
