This is a seminal moment for the Division of Development and Alumni Relations (DDAR), as they welcomed their new Vice President, Jay E. Davenport, earlier this year and will launch their largest campaign to date within the year. It is now building out the infrastructure to support the campaign and is seeking two talented, leadership-level frontline fundraisers to serve as Assistant Vice Presidents, Colleges, Campuses, and Units (CCU) in the Division of Development and Alumni Relations, to assist with and help oversee, refine, and guide the University's major gift fundraising efforts. As a critical and influential member of the Division of Development and Alumni Relations, the Assistant Vice President, CCU will play an integral role in Penn State's future and contribute to one of the most successful fundraising and alumni relations operations in the country.
