Welcome to University Advancement

Pamela C. Hillman I’m pleased to introduce you to our division. We provide leadership in strategic relationship-building with – and stewardship of – alumni, businesses, foundations, emeriti, faculty, staff, parents and other important constituencies in order to generate essential private financial support.

Without private support, many student scholarships, academic programs and educational facilities wouldn’t exist or would be less than they are. In light of our state’s continued fiscal challenges, the university depends upon its donors more than ever before to help educate tomorrow’s teachers, businesspeople, scientists, artists and other professionals who will make the world a better place for all of us.

I encourage you to explore this web site and discover the people and departments within University Advancement that lead our cumulative efforts designed to help move the institution forward so that it may best fulfill its educational mission. If you have a question, please call our office at 657-278-5287 and we’ll be happy to speak with you.
