A. FUND RAISING
The Office of Development
and Special Gifts is responsible for coordinating
all of the University’s efforts in securing
financial support primarily from foundations,
corporations, institutions and individuals;
for keeping the University administration, at
all levels, informed of the requests for outside
support; for eliminating the possibility of
dual solicitation of a donor by the University;
and for making certain the most effective and
professional approaches are made to all potential
donors for support of the University.
B. PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The Office of Public Affairs
is responsible for ensuring that all official
University communications, including publications,
advertising, Web sites, and other external marketing
materials appropriately enhance Duquesne’s
image. Coordination of all external marketing
and advertising assures that the University
projects a consistent identity, image and message
across its programs and units, leveraging the
efforts of schools and departments to benefit
the entire institution and vice versa. To ensure
this consistency, all marketing and advertising
must be coordinated through the Office of Public
Affairs in the Division of University Advancement.
The Office of Public Affairs
is the official “voice” of Duquesne
in response to media, coordinates proactive
media outreach, and facilitates media inquiries.
The Office should be involved in all major campus
events to assure such events are promoted in
a way that benefits the University.
C. ALUMNI RELATIONS
The Alumni Relations Office
is responsible for insuring that all University
alumni programs and activities are conducted
according to the highest professional standards
and are consistent with the overall goals of
the University. As the primary liaison between
the University and the Alumni Association, the
Alumni Relations Office assists all authorized
alumni organizations of the University in the
planning and conducting of activities and programs;
fosters an ongoing relationship of goodwill
and cooperation between the University and its
alumni; and seeks to involve responsible alumni
volunteers in programs and activities which
serve the University and aid it in the fulfillment
of its overall educational goals and mission.
D. UNIVERSITY EVENTS
Any event held on campus which
attracts attendees from the community has an
impact on how the University is viewed. The
Office of University Events must be involved
in the coordination of all campus events so
that contact with the community remains positive.
