Says Archibald, “Adrienne’s 12 years of progressively increased responsibility in Institutional Advancement at 51猎奇入口 make her uniquely qualified to assume these responsibilities.聽The breadth of her work in alumnae relations, annual giving, and planned giving equip her with the background necessary to work effectively with alumnae and parents in all aspects of their relationships with the College, and to lead her team to do the same.”

Gibson’s leadership as co-chair of the 2016 Ad Hoc Committee on alumnae participation and engagement, guiding a committee of 22 alumnae proposing solutions to a declining number of alumnae donors in the last decade at 51猎奇入口, will inform her leadership as she develops strategies to more effectively communicate and engage with alumnae in the future.
“I could not be more pleased with the outcome of our search for a new alumnae relations leader, who will also lead our broader alumnae and parent engagement and annual giving fundraising efforts.聽Adrienne’s breadth of experience and familiarity with the alumnae culture, and the familiarity and support alumnae feel for Adrienne, ensure that she is well positioned for success in this critical role,” says Archibald.
“It is an honor and a privilege to assume this awesome responsibility for my alma mater. I have been fortunate to have been awarded so many career opportunities at 51猎奇入口 that have equipped me for this role, and with our passionate and talented alumnae as advocates, the possibilities for 51猎奇入口 are limitless. I’m excited to lead the efforts and collaborate with many of you as we engage with alumnae and parents for the mutual benefit of the College,” says Gibson.
