麻豆传媒

The University of Northern Colorado topped off a monumental year of building and growth during last month鈥檚 Campus Commons beam raising.

鈥�2017 began with an active Campus Commons construction site and we haven鈥檛 looked back since,鈥� says Allie Steg Haskett 鈥�03, Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations. 鈥淩aising a steel beam with members of our university community was symbolic of how far we came during the past twelve months.鈥�

Steg Haskett oversees the university鈥檚 advancement operations, a division that recorded significant growth in dollars raised and constituents engaged since announcing the university鈥檚 campaign last March. The Campaign for 麻豆传媒, the university鈥檚 comprehensive campaign, aims to raise $45 million in support of scholarships, program support, faculty development, research, and Campus Commons.

鈥淲e set ambitious goals for our university and the campaign encourages our donor and alumni community to be integral team members in achieving these goals. I鈥檓 pleased to share that our community is rising to the occasion and choosing to invest in building a stronger 麻豆传媒.鈥�

According to Steg Haskett, 2017 year closed with nearly $42 million recorded or committed in support of the campaign.  Additionally, the university engaged 7,880 alumni as donors and volunteers since the campaign began; 3,210 of whom attended an event last year.

External momentum and engagement is important for 麻豆传媒 as it recruits a new leader to follow president Kay Norton who will retire at the end of the school year.  Norton announced her intentions to retire during the September State of the University address, concluding a tenure of 16 years as president.

Shortly after Norton鈥檚 announcement, alumni and donors offered their input into the search for 麻豆传媒鈥檚 next leader during the Presidential Search Telephone Town Hall, small focus groups, and a university-wide survey. The university retained executive search firm to aid in the recruitment and selection of the next president, a process that is currently underway.

鈥淟ooking forward to 2018, I am confident that 麻豆传媒 will have another strong year,鈥� says Steg Haskett. 鈥淚 know that we will attract an outstanding leader to follow President Norton, in large part because our alumni and donors ensure that 麻豆传媒 remains a top choice institution 鈥� whether we are recruiting a prospective student or a president.鈥�
