Boston College Introduction
As we approach the fourth year of the public
phase of Soaring Higher: the Campaign
for Boston College, we invite you to join our community. Driven by
our mission in ways that advance the university for years to
come, priority areas for this $3B comprehensive campaign include
Financial Aid, Academics, and Student Life.
Based
on a fundamental Jesuit tenet of developing the whole person, University
Advancement is large enough to benefit from many campus resources, yet small
enough to be agile and creative in supporting all associates. With an
average tenure of close to 10 years at Boston College, our 250-person
centralized organizational structure offers a variety of roles across
fundraising, alumni relations, operations, and communications and
engagement. We invest in the
professional growth of every staff member through individual and team-based
programs. Likewise, we aim to attract
the very best, seeking team members who are as ambitious and as committed to
our team as we are. We value a
culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging while actively promoting
team members who contribute to the success of University Advancement.
