Abstract | As colleges and universities become even more complex organizations, advancement professionals need to have the skills, experience, and academic credentials to succeed in this ever-changing environment. Advancement leaders need competencies that extend beyond fundraising, alumni relations, and communications and marketing. The author encourages the aspirants whom she mentors to work on their communication, management, and interpersonal skills. And if they don't have an advanced degree, she advises them to go back to school because "advanced degree required" (or "preferred") shows up with regularity in position descriptions for advancement leadership posts. A graduate education is but one step along one's path of lifelong learning, but for those who seek advancement within the advancement profession, it's an increasingly essential credential. The formal education resulting from a degree combined with the experience gained during one's career is a formula for success. (ERIC). |
