Department of Advancement
The Division of University Advancement operates directly under the supervison of the vice president
and "includes fund development, alumni relations, volunteer relations, and donor and alumni
information and services for the university’s fifteen colleges. The
division’s services incorporate gift management and reporting, strategic donor and alumni
communications, events, donor
relations, and business services and operations."
During my tenure at the university, I served as the web and email lead for eight departmental
websites. I was responsible for overseeing the
launch of four multi-user sites. My primary role involved the maintenance and development of these
eight departmental websites, as well as the
creation of comprehensive documentation outlining project objectives, timelines, bug identification,
and system audits. Additionally, I played a crucial role in developing, designing, serving as the
lead for over eight new responsive
web pages and microsites for the University Advancement CMS and WordPress websites. Notably, I
contributed to the creation of the University's
"Billion Dollar 'Here We Go' Campaign" web page. By effectively managing relationships across
departments and serving as the lead for the website champions, I contributed to a remarkable 30%
increase in university donors and engagement.
