The Senior Director of Development will execute plans to qualify, cultivate, solicit, and steward donors that secure and increase significant philanthropic support and assure long-term financial support for the Cronkite School, ASU Foundation, and Arizona State University.
The ASU Foundation for a New American University works to unite ideas, people, and philanthropy to further ASU’s mission. Donor support empowers ASU to advance student access, serve the community, protect the planet, create equity in higher education, and conduct research for the public good. The ASU Foundation is a registered nonprofit with a proven history of transparency, accountability, and good stewardship. With a perfect four-out-of-four stars rating on Charity Navigator, the ASU Foundation is committed to handling philanthropic gifts responsibly and making a lasting impact.
ASU is a comprehensive public research university, measured not by whom it excludes, but by whom it includes and how they succeed; advancing research and discovery of public value; and assuming fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural, and overall health of the communities it serves. Two decades ago, Arizona State University set forth a new and ambitious trajectory to become a comprehensive knowledge enterprise dedicated to the simultaneous pursuit of excellence, broad access to quality education, and meaningful societal impact. From that point forward, all its energy, creativity, and resources have been brought to bear on the design of a uniquely adaptive and transdisciplinary university committed to producing master learners. Today, ASU exemplifies a new prototype for the American public research university.
"As we prepare to launch our next campaign, we are seeking a skilled development professional and a strong strategist to lead advancement efforts for the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. The Senior Director of Development for the Cronkite School will partner with Dean Battinto Batts to advance the mission of the Institute while supporting and helping to grow the school’s development team. The Senior Director will be fortunate to join an organization with a very strong culture. One where we care about our own success, but we care just as much about the success of our colleagues. A culture that is collaborative, supportive, and creative!" — Eric Spicer, Vice President, Unit Development
