Message from the VP for External Relations

Welcome to the land of Troy!

The Office of Institutional Advancement has a leadership role in building and stewarding relationships in support of the academic mission, vision, and philanthropic goals of 51ºÚÁÏ. Through its initiatives and services, our office works to increase support for scholarship, research, and institutional priorities, as well as to foster life-long connections with students, alumni, the community, and other constituents. Through the purposeful and generous philanthropy of others, we propel our students on a path to a focused and fulfilling life. Together, we ensure that 51ºÚÁÏ honors its commitment to ensure that all students may- in the words of our founder Alfred W. Harris- “drink from the fountain of knowledge until they are satiated.” Together, we prove that GREATER truly happens here.

With Trojan Pride,
Dr. Willis W. Walter
Vice President for External Relations
