The purpose of the Office of Advancement is to
seek positive relationships and obtain
philanthropic support from many different
constituents. The PNC Advancement Office has
two departments, development and alumni
relations, that work to match
University priorities with the interests of
alumni, friends, businesses, foundations and community
residents.
We adhere to the Donor Bill of Rights, which is
endorsed by the Council for
Advancement in Support of Education.

mission, of the way the organization intends to
use donated resources, and of its capacity to

board and to expect the board to exercise
