的 University of Northern Colorado topped off a monumental 一年 of building and growth during last month’s Campus Commons beam raising.
“2017 began with an active Campus Commons construction site and we haven’t looked back since,” says Allie Steg Haskett ’03, Vice President for 发展 and 校友 关系. “Raising a steel beam with members of our university community was symbolic of how far we came during the past twelve months.”
Steg Haskett oversees the university’s advancement operations, a division that recorded significant growth in dollars raised and constituents engaged since announcing the university’s 运动 last March. 的 UNC运动, the university’s comprehensive 运动, aims to raise $45 million in support of scholarships, program support, faculty development, research, and Campus Commons.
“We set ambitious goals for our university and the 运动 encourages our donor and alumni community to be integral team members in achieving these goals. 我很高兴 to share that our community is rising to the occasion and choosing to invest in building 更强大的联合国军司令部.”
According to Steg Haskett, 2017 一年 closed with nearly $42 million recorded or committed in support of the 运动. Additionally, the university engaged 7,880 alumni as donors and volunteers since the 运动 began; 3,210 of whom attended an event last 一年.
External momentum and engagement is important for UNC as it recruits a new leader to follow 总统 Kay Norton who will retire at the end of the school 一年. Norton announced her intentions to retire during the September State of the University address, concluding a tenure of 16 一年s 作为总统.
Shortly after Norton’s announcement, alumni and donors offered their input into the search for UNC’s next leader during the Presidential 搜索 Telephone Town Hall, small focus groups, and a university-wide survey. 的 university retained executive search firm Storbeck /皮门特尔 & 的同事 to aid in the recruitment and selection of the next 总统, a process that is 目前正在进行.
“Looking forward to 2018, I am confident that UNC will have another strong 一年,” Steg Haskett说. “I know that we will attract an outstanding leader to follow President Norton, in large part because our alumni and donors ensure that UNC remains a top choice institution – whether we are recruiting a prospective student or a 总统.”
