Haverford College is seeking a vice president for Institutional Advancement (“VPIA”). Inspired by our mission and aligned with our values of trust, concern, and respect, this individual will be the College’s chief strategist and advisor to the president regarding donor cultivation and stewardship, including through the design and execution of the upcoming comprehensive campaign to support our strategic plan.
Haverford College was founded in 1833 by Quakers for whom academic excellence, offered in a setting of tolerance and mutual respect, would serve a larger goal of “educating the whole person.” A secular institution since 1848, Haverford’s Quaker origins meaningfully inform many aspects of life at the College. This influence is shown most clearly in the close relationship among members of the campus community, the emphasis on integrity, the interaction of the individual and the community, the commitment to shared governance, and developing students’ capacities both intellectually and to contribute to the greater good.
The VPIA will report to the president, Wendy Raymond, and will serve as a member of the president's Senior Staff, setting priorities and strategies for college-wide objectives within and outside of Institutional Advancement. The VPIA will develop partnerships across the College’s faculty and staff, as well as alums, families, and friends, using their time and talents efficiently and appropriately to lead an excellent Institutional Advancement program.
For best consideration, please send all nominations and applications to:
Susan VanGilder, Managing Director and Lareese Hall, Senior Associate at HaverfordAdvancement@storbecksearch.com
