More About Our Mission
Led by Brigette A. Bryant, Vice President of Development and Alumni Engagement, UA seeks to set a new tone for alumni engagement through volunteerism, active two-way communication, experiential opportunities, and philanthropic care. Working with our alumni, students, and our campus community, together we are focused on the student experience, academic vibrancy, delivering on a brand promise of alumni pride, creating signature programming for our distinguished alumni, and strengthening Arcadia through Impact Philanthropy.
Impact Philanthropy elevates our University as guided by our institutional priorities and aided by the vision of our alumni community of donors. We are committed to maintaining our 1853 social justice roots, faculty scholarship and innovation, campus facilities enhancements, and the strategic transformation of the University. UA is a growing partner in the University’s fiscal health and its ability to be bold.
Our Broad Goals Are to:
- Build pride and confidence in the University
- Honor, celebrate, and recognize our alumni and their achievements
- Increase alumni engagement, measured through event attendance, volunteerism, and two-way communication with Arcadia
- Educate our community on the power of philanthropy
- Elevate The Fund for Arcadia to $1M
- Provide excellent stewardship service
- Proudly welcome new donors into the Jones Poundstone and Covenant Societies
- Celebrate the Beaver College legacy through the Beaver College Foundation
