Vice President for University Advancement & Alumni Engagement Prospectus

Carlow University, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, seeks an accomplished Vice President for University Advancement & Alumni Engagement to provide strategic leadership at a consequential moment in the University’s history. Reporting directly to President Kathy W. Humphrey, PhD, and serving as Carlow’s Chief Advancement Officer and a member of the President’s Cabinet, the Vice President will lead an enterprise whose impact reaches across the University and extends into the lives of the individuals, families, organizations, and communities Carlow serves. Philanthropic investment helps make possible the programs, partnerships, student opportunities, and community initiatives through which Carlow creates an impact disproportionate to its size – advancing social mobility, responding to consequential community needs, and extending its Mercy mission well beyond the boundaries of campus. Carlow enters the search with genuine institutional and philanthropic momentum. Enrollment has grown 19.5% since Fall 2020; academic and community partnerships are expanding; and innovative programs responsive to workforce and community needs have strengthened the University’s reach and relevance. Intentional work to clarify Carlow’s identity and expand external engagement has also increased awareness of who Carlow is, whom it serves, and the impact of its work. Carlow has demonstrated that compelling ideas rooted in mission and responsive to human need can attract significant investment from individuals, foundations, corporations, government, and community partners. Its philanthropic case therefore extends well beyond a traditional alumni-centered fundraising model.

One of the core values of Carlow University is Sacredness of Creation. We revere each person and all creation and the diversity they embody. The University, as an educational institution and an employer, values equality of opportunity, human dignity, and racial/ethnic and cultural diversity. We respect our diversity as we are called in both the University’s mission and core values. Our commitment to inclusivity, respect and acceptance informs every aspect of the University community.

Accordingly, Carlow University prohibits and will not discriminate or harass on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation and pregnancy), national origin, age, individuals with disabilities, genetic information, marital status, familial status, ancestry and expression, veteran status or any other category protected by federal, state or local law. This policy applies to all programs and activities, with respect to both admissions and employment.
