    The Assistant/Associate Director will help to develop alumni affinity groups such as the new Black Alumni Network and serve as the alumni staff liaison for existing alumni volunteer organizations.

    Suffolk University's Alumni Relations and Annual Giving programs are critical to advancing the university's mission.

    Our alumni relations programs serve to engage and inform our current and future alumni, involve them as volunteers in meaningful ways and strengthen their pride in and attachment to Suffolk.

    Support of the Annual Fund at all levels from alumni and others is crucial to increasing the pool of unrestricted dollars available to the university.

    The Annual Giving programs develop and implement comprehensive fundraising strategies for the engagement, acquisition, stewardship, retention and upgrading of donations from alumni, family, friends, corporations and foundations.

    In addition to generating flexible revenue they identify major and planned giving prospects, help maintain address and data integrity and convey important institutional messages.
