Executive Director of Alumni and Advancement Simon Business School University of Rochester Page 2 of 8 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI AND ADVANCEMENT SIMON BUSINESS SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER ROCHESTER, NEW YORK THE SEARCH The University of Rochester seeks an experienced and ambitious executive director of alumni and advancement (Executive Director) for the Simon Business School (Simon). Both the University and Simon are at exciting and transformative moments in their respective histories. The University welcomed Sarah C. Mangelsdorf as its new president in July 2019, and in July 2020, Simon welcomed its eighth dean, Sevin Yeltekin, who most recently served as the Rohet Tolani Distinguished Professor of Economics and senior associate dean of education at Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business. These milestones present an exceptional opportunity for a dynamic, seasoned, and forward-thinking advancement professional to join the University and Simon as they chart a new course into the future, and to play a key role expanding the philanthropic capacity of Simon. Founded in 1850, the University of Rochester is one of the nation’s leading research universities and is the cultural, artistic, and educational leader for the region. The university’s motto, Meliora, embodies the goals of the University, which are to “learn, discover, heal, create – and make the world even better.” The University is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities and is regularly ranked in the top 35 national universities by U.S. News and World Report. Simon, one of the nation’s leading graduate education institutions, offers full-time, part-time, and executive MBA programs, as well as other Master of Science programs. In addition, the School offers substantial academic research opportunities and PhD programs in several disciplines. Reporting to the associate vice president for annual giving and school programs, the executive director is Simon’s primary development officer and works closely with University Advancement colleagues, the dean, and other University and school leaders to set strategic direction and conceive of and execute fundraising and alumni relations plans. The executive director manages a select portfolio of prospects, including some of the school’s most important supporters, and supervises a staff of six. In addition, the executive director oversees an operating budget of approximately $250,000 and works collaboratively across advancement and the broader University to set new benchmarks for success in philanthropy and donor engagement. The ideal candidate will be a seasoned advancement professional capable of managing and mentoring a diverse staff in a complex environment; a thoughtful strategist; a natural collaborator and convener; and an exceptional steward of internal and external relationships. The executive director will possess ten or more years of progressively responsible management and fundraising experience in advancement with a track record of significantly elevating development programs. They will have personal success cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding major individual and institutional gifts at the five-, six-, and seven-figure levels, preferably in higher education. Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree preferred. The University of Rochester has retained Jack Gorman of the national executive search firm Isaacson, Miller to assist in this important recruitment. All inquiries, applications, and nominations should be directed to the search firm as indicated at the end of this document and will be held in the strictest confidence. UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER The University of Rochester is one of the country’s top-tier research universities. With more than 200 academic majors and more than 2,000 faculty and instructional staff, the University is noted as being exceptionally collaborative. It offers both the intellectual excitement of a major research university with a top medical center, and the intimacy and opportunities of a great liberal arts college. The University enrolls more than 12,000 students annually, of whom nearly 77 percent are undergraduates and half are women. The School of Arts and Sciences and Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences are home to most undergraduate students. Students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels enjoy access to the Eastman School of Music, the School of Medicine and Dentistry, the School of Nursing, the Simon Business School, and the Warner School of Education. The University is home to the Memorial Art Gallery, which boasts more than 12,000 objects in its permanent collection and serves as the community’s art gallery; the Eastman Theatre which offers three state-of-the-art performance venues for more than 20 student ensembles from the Eastman School of Music; and the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, which operates two of the world’s most powerful high-energy and high-intensity lasers. Academic strengths include optics, political science, economics, physics, and engineering. Among the faculty are recipients of MacArthur Awards, Guggenheim, Sloan, and Packard Fellowships, and members of the National Academies. The Simon Business School With origins as a regional business school that enrolled primarily undergraduate students, Simon is now an internationally-acclaimed graduate institution. Today, incoming MBA students hail from 19 countries and represent a broad variety of career stages and ambitions. Simon enrolls more than 970 students in its programs each year, maintaining a graduating class of approximately 130 full-time MBA, 400 Master of Science, and 40 Executive and Part-Time MBA students. As a member of the University of Rochester community, Simon’s character is defined by “Meliora” – a relentless endeavor to be ever better – in the ideas it contributes to the world, in the opportunities it offers to students, and in its commitment to inclusiveness. Simon’s mission to develop business leaders with an exceptional level of clarity, both about business and about themselves, is furthered through a strong focus on data, analytics and economics. In fact, Simon was the first business school to secure STEM designations for all of its degree programs, regardless of specialization. In addition, the School is ranked among the top 5 business schools for finance and economics (Financial Times), the top 10 for return on investment (The Economist), and received an “A” for teaching quality (Bloomberg Businessweek). Simon has been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business-International (AACSB) since 1966. In a new 2021 ranking from US News, Simon had the #1 most diverse MBA student body. Other recent rankings are as follows: Financial Times, 2021: #31 among US business schools; The Economist, 2021: #16 among US business schools; Bloomberg Business Week, 2019: #4 among US business schools for learning, and #29 overall among US business schools. Executive Director of Alumni and Advancement Simon Business School University of Rochester Page 2 of 8 The Simon community looks to its faculty of renowned industry experts, most of whom are graduates of the nation’s top business schools, including Columbia University, Northwestern University, Stanford University, and The Wharton School, for the research and top-ranked teaching excellence that helped propel Simon to a rank of 29 in Bloomberg Businessweek’s 2019-2020 ranking of US business schools (an increase of 16 places). More than 17,500 Simon graduates are managing, leading, and contributing across a wide range of global enterprises, including Fortune 500 companies such as Citibank, Amazon, Google, McKinsey & Co., Morgan Stanley, Starbucks, Travelers Insurance, and many other industry leaders, as well as in the government, nonprofit, and higher education sectors. Simon alumni bring to their careers a distinctly Simon/Rochester way of doing business: hands-on, data-focused, economics-based, analytical, global, and interdisciplinary in perspective. Simon has built tremendous momentum in alumni relations and fundraising in recent years. The school raised $96 million in the Meliora Challenge campaign, surpassing its goal of $85 million and securing a $20 million gift – the largest single gift commitment in the School’s history. Recently, Simon completed a career-focused curricular reform of its MBA program, and the School is nearing the completion of a $10-million renovation to its learning environment. Dean Yeltekin is leading a school-wide strategic planning process, which is in the early stages. This is a collaborative effort among all the School’s key constituents, including alumni, and the School hopes to unveil its plan in the fall of 2021. COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION The University of Rochester and the University Advancement division are dedicated to cultivating an equitable, respectful, and welcoming pluralistic culture and have taken steps to accelerate diversity efforts. The Diversity Steering Committee for University Advancement was recently formed to ensure leadership, guidance, and feedback on the division’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) guidelines and initiatives. These efforts have resulted in a clear mission for the University Advancement team to purposefully acknowledge and embrace individual differences in all aspects of their work; to collaboratively grow and evolve their understanding of one another; and to take responsibility for living in adherence to the below guiding principles (ADVANCE): • Acknowledge the need for change and growth in the area of DEI • Demonstrate that the team’s strength relies upon its diversity

  • Quarantine Information for Simon Graduate Students
    Quarantine Information for Simon Graduate Students What is quarantine? Quarantine means staying in your house for the duration of a 14-day incubation period and monitoring yourself for any potential signs of infection. Quarantining means that you can’t go out—not to work, school, or public places. While it is vital to keep in touch with friends, significant others, and family via phone or text, it is not possible to spend any time with them during the 14 days. Who must quarantine? All graduate students arriving from hot spot states or from an international location should plan to quarantine for 14 days in their graduate housing space or their off-campus residence. Quarantine must be completed prior to coming on campus for any reasons. Please see the list of restricted states for a current list of the states designated as COVID-19 hot spots. Students traveling from these states will be required to quarantine for 14 days. Students arriving from international locations also are required to quarantine for 14 days, per CDC guidance. Students from states designated as hot spots who plan to arrive on campus for the start of the semester may quarantine on their own in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) or in any state not on the NYS list of restricted states for 14 days prior to their scheduled move-in date. When should I arrive in Rochester if I need to do a 14-day quarantine? If you wish to participate in person for Welcome Week starting August 17, you should start your quarantine by August 2.

Simon Business School has built that reputation on its own ambition and creative initiatives—and on the over 50 years of accomplishment. With origins as a regional business school enrolling primarily undergraduate students, the Simon school has grown to an internationally acclaimed graduate institution. Today, nearly half of our MBA candidates come from other countries—the highest percentage of international students among many of America’s leading business schools. From an original Rochester business faculty of three members, Simon Business School has grown to a faculty of 72 renowned industry experts. Most are graduates of the nation’s top 25 business schools—including Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Northwestern, Stanford and Wharton—among whose ranks Simon Business School is listed. Extraordinarily productive in research, our faculty is equally committed to teaching—another distinction of a Simon Business School education. Over the course of its history, more than 13,000 students have graduated from the School. They are managing, leading and contributing across a wide range of enterprises throughout the world: in business, government and nonprofit organizations, and universities: in finance, banking, manufacturing and marketing.
