The University of Rochester seeks an experienced and ambitious executive director of advancement for the Edmund A. Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences. Both the University and the Hajim School find themselves at exciting and transformative moments in their history. In July 2016, the University completed the $1.2 billion Meliora Challenge comprehensive campaign, raising over $1.37 billion, and the Hajim School welcomed its eighth dean, Wendi Heinzelman. Shortly afterwards, Advancement leadership launched The Rochester Model: 2021 Strategic Plan for University Advancement to leverage the momentum of the campaign and foster a sustained culture of philanthropy and engagement between the University and its constituencies. In addition, the University recently appointed Sarah Mangelsdorf as the University of Rochester’s the 11th president; Mangelsdorf will assume that position in the summer of 2019. These significant milestones present an exceptional opportunity for a dynamic and accomplished person who continually surpasses prior accomplishments, sets clear strategic goals, and has a strong and ongoing commitment to excellence.
