For many institutions, there is a need for building the Advancement efforts for effective alumni relations and fundraising to strengthen education through alumni and community support. Right now, I want to call your attention to an exceptional opportunity for leadership in advancement as the Vice President of Development at Hunter College, the largest college in the City University of New York.
If you or someone you know is looking to have impact as a leader in advancement, Hunter College is the place. For more than 140 years, Hunter has provided educational opportunities for women and minorities, and today, students from every walk of life and every corner of the world attend Hunter. Hunter students are strongly committed to higher education. More than half hold jobs and more than a third are the first in their families to attend college, and despite the challenges they face, their level of academic achievement is extremely high. Many go on to top professional and graduate programs, winning Fulbright scholarships, Mellon fellowships, National Institutes of Health grants, and other distinguished honors.

On a completely different topic, next week marks the beginning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe. Ironically, it is causing a flood of emails with new policies assuring compliance with the regulations and respectful management of data. It will take time to figure out what this will mean for alumni outreach. Please share your thoughts and approach to this new development.
