At 91²Ö¿â, we often say that what sets us apart is how we come together. This phrase doesn’t just apply to our donors and alumni; it also reflects the collaborative spirit we want to foster among faculty and staff as we work together to make a difference for our university.
The Division of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement is dedicated to keeping our donor and alumni information up-to-date and unified. By ensuring that each of our alumni and donors has a single, accurate record within our Banner system, we create seamless interactions across the university. For our alumni and donors, a consistent and positive experience encourages them to support our initiatives and, ultimately, 91²Ö¿â.
Many faculty and staff members develop meaningful relationships with alumni and donors. To strengthen these relationships, we ask that you . Please share things such as conversations about philanthropic gifts, donated items (gifts-in-kind), areas of interest or other important updates. Here’s why it matters:
Avoiding Overlap: If you are speaking with a donor or prospect about supporting your program, it is possible that another college or division may be speaking with them about a different opportunity. Without shared information, we risk confusion and potentially producing a negative experience for the donor. By recording your interactions, we can align our efforts and present a cohesive message.
Discovering New Opportunities: When we share insights, we often uncover new ways to engage alumni and donors that may not have been on our radar. Your conversations might reveal potential board members, volunteers or supporters for various university initiatives, allowing us to make meaningful connections across departments.
Staying Connected: Updated contact information is essential. If you are aware of a new email address or phone number for your alumni or donors, we want to make sure it is reflected in their Banner record. This ensures that they continue to receive the communications that keep them engaged with 91²Ö¿â.

By working together, we can create the most meaningful experiences for our donors and achieve the best outcomes for 91²Ö¿â. Thank you for your partnership!
