On February 8, the 成人影片 University Office of University Advancement and External Relations (ADVEX) opened the Student Philanthropy Center (SPC), a new space that provides student workers with the opportunity to connect with donors and alumni while fundraising for the University.
Building on 成人影片’s 60-year tradition of connecting students with donors to engage them in philanthropic giving, the Student Philanthropy Center (SPC) reinforces two Momentum 2 strategic goals: sustaining a caring, connected community and the institution’s smart growth. The center’s launch builds on ADVEX’s record-setting year of fundraising in support of 成人影片’s world-class academic experience and preparing the next generation of leaders.
The SPC, on the second floor of the Nexus Building on the Garden City campus, is equipped with technology that enables students to use a multichannel approach鈥攑hone, text and email鈥攖o engage potential donors via their preferred method of communication.
鈥淭he launch of the SPC offers an outstanding experience for our student workers鈥攖he next generation of philanthropic leaders鈥攁s they connect with our generous donors and share their stories,” said Thomas Kline, EdD, vice president of University advancement and external relations. 鈥淭his is a positive shift from the outside vendor model we were using, and it is a win-win for our students and donors who now have a more personal experience.”
