Greetings From the Office of Advancement
Claremont Graduate University’s ambitious students conduct meaningful research that creates bold, new ways of seeing and improving the world. Nationally recognized programs, renowned faculty, and innovative research equip our graduates with the knowledge and hands-on experience to make society better. This has been our mission since 1925—and we could not do it without your support.
As Vice President for the Office of Advancement, I focus primarily on maintaining the vitality of our university. Likewise, my team works tirelessly to expand philanthropic support and build meaningful alliances with individuals and organizations wishing to create positive change through higher education. With a new team of professionals and a robust fundraising initiative in the works, we are just getting started.
Our dedicated Advancement team is fostering new relationships and strengthening existing ones across our constituencies, from students and alumni to foundations and trustees. CGU alumni are more engaged than ever thanks to our outreach efforts; the current Board of Trustees is committed to achieving a level of scholarly excellence unprecedented in our long history. Now, with an updated logo and state-of-the-art website geared toward prospective students, our Marketing & Communications team has endeavored to elevate the public standing of Claremont Graduate University even more as one of the country’s highly regarded graduate research universities.
Your philanthropy has always been critical to our efforts. As we approach 100 years of excellence in graduate education, we hope that you will celebrate with us and reflect on the many ways that Claremont Graduate University contributes to improving the world. To those who sustain and believe in our mission, I am thankful for our relationship and look forward to working with you in the years ahead.
Regards,
Ernie Iseminger
Vice President for Advancement
