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 résumé.
