Our community is a tight knit group of remarkable individuals interested in intellectual inquiry and making a difference in the world.

The ADoD Northeast will be responsible for all aspects of pipeline development within their portfolio, including prospective donor identification in their markets and engagement strategies.

The ADoD will primarily focus their efforts on University alumni with secondary efforts on other constituencies such as parents of current students and unaffiliated donors.
