We seek to optimize the entrepreneurial nature of our university by creating unparalleled opportunities to enhance the University's image and ensure adequate resources.

It starts with me

• I am curious, agile, and creative.
• The mission matters deeply to me.
• I am unafraid to fail because I will fail forward and learn from my mistakes.

Our best work is done together

• We are aspirational, donor-centric, and collaborative.
• We learn from one another, celebrate our success, and embrace the journey.

To achieve our mission, Institutional Advancement is organized around and evaluates itself against five fundamental principles:

• The mission and aspirations of the University of New England drive all we do.
• We integrate marketing and communication, alumni, and stakeholder engagement and giving programs to optimize impact institution-wide.
• We focus on long-term, sustainable progress and create and drive the next best practices.
• We create myriad opportunities for authentic engagement.
• We develop and value high-performing, collaborative, trust-based teams.
