Roberta Leonard will be appointed Vice President for College Advancement, effective Nov. 1, President Susan Traverso, Ph.D., announced to campus Tuesday morning.
Over the past 15 years, Leonard has held several key positions in College Advancement, including director of corporate, foundation and government support; executive director of donor services; and executive director of the Thiel 2016 Campaign. Last spring, she was appointed Interim Vice President for College Advancement. In that role, she has successfully guided the Thiel 2016 Campaign to its current total of more than $64 million and supported the presidential transition.
“Roberta’s remarkable talent for relationship-building has broadened and deepened the College’s stakeholder groups. She understands the importance of celebrating the accomplishments of students, faculty and alumni, and she has a proven track record of attracting external support to the College,” Traverso said in her email. “She has built a remarkable team in Advancement and Alumni Affairs, and this fall has provided valuable leadership to the Office of Communications and Marketing. I am confident that Roberta will bring effective leadership as Vice President for College Advancement. Building on the success of the Thiel 2016 Campaign, she will meet and, no doubt, exceed new goals as we together advance the College.”
