Grand Valley has all the hallmarks of an established institution--more than 200 areas of study, championship athletics teams, excellent faculty and staff benefits, and exciting student life.

Our mission of educating students to shape their lives, their professions, and their societies includes faculty and staff as students, too.

Our strong liberal education serves as the foundation for our wide array of undergraduate and graduate programs, fostering critical thinking, creative problem solving, and cultural understanding. We are also committed to economic, social, and environmental sustainability and an inclusive campus that values diversity. Through this forward-thinking education, students, faculty, and staff are empowered to positively affect the global community now and in the future.

This position will be responsible for managing and cultivating relationships to increase support for Grand Valley State University with existing alumni, parents, and friends, as well as identifying new and innovative pipelines for these constituencies. This position will lead the development of new giving opportunities and giving vehicles that meet the needs of our students and university and will collaborate with members of the Philanthropy team and College Advancement team helping to effectively build a case for support that can be presented to prospective donors.
