The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the
University of La Verne in the search for an Assistant Vice
President for Alumni Engagement.
The Assistant Vice President for Alumni Engagement is an essential
member of the University Advancement leadership team. This highly
visible position is responsible for leading the Alumni Relations
Office, and developing and executing comprehensive alumni
engagement strategies and programs in support of the Office’s
mission to enhance alumni loyalty, pride, and engagement among a
diverse community of more than 80,000 alumni worldwide.
The University of La Verne’s advancement program is poised to
publicly launch its $125M campaign, the largest in its
history. Concurrently, the Office of Alumni Engagement needs a
strong leader as its Assistant Vice President to build a broad
engagement platform that supports the University’s strategic
mission-driven goals and campaign. Working with a dynamic and
experienced President and strong advancement leadership, the AVP
will lead a program with 80,000 alumni from the traditional
undergraduate, regional, graduate, and on-line programs. As an
Institution with a very diverse student population, the AVP has a
unique opportunity to create synergies between a young multi-ethnic
alumni group and an older generation from a more traditional
four-year undergraduate experience.
The University of La Verne is more than halfway to its campaign
goal, closing FY17 at $65M. With strong volunteers and an eager
Alumni Association Board, the partnership between the alumni office
and fundraising has never been better. The successful candidate has
a truly unique opportunity to have a meaningful and impactful role
at a successful university on the rise.
The University of La Verne offers a distinctive and relevant
educational experience to a diverse population of traditional-age,
adult, and graduate learners preparing them for successful careers
and a commitment to life-long learning across the liberal arts and
professional programs. As a federally designated Hispanic Serving
Institution (HSI), the University is dedicated to assisting first
generation, majority low-income Hispanic students in
obtaining a college education. In 2016, the University was
recognized twice by the Department of Education and
Excelencia, a national think tank, for its commitment to
enroll, retain, and graduate Latino students. In January 2015, the
Carnegie Foundation granted the University of La Verne its
prestigious Carnegie Foundation Community Engagement
Classification. When making this classification, the
Foundation noted the University’s alignment between campus mission,
culture, leadership, resources, and practices that support
community engagement. In U.S. News & World Report’s
2017 ranking of Best Colleges, National Universities category, the
publication placed University of La Verne 8th among private
institutions in California and 18th overall in the
state.
A Bachelor’s degree is required for this position as is five years
of Alumni Relations or relevant experience, three years of
management experience, and three years of experience utilizing
social networking and engagement tools such as LinkedIn, Facebook,
WeChat, and/or Line. A Master’s degree is preferred.
All applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and
