The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with MiraCosta
College in the search for a Vice President for Institutional
Advancement and Executive Director of the MiraCosta College
Foundation.
Reporting to the President, the Vice President for Institutional
Advancement will build visibility and resources for the MiraCosta
Community College District (MiraCosta College). The Vice President
will be responsible for the overall leadership and performance of a
comprehensive advancement program for the District directing the
areas of Public and Governmental Relations, Marketing and
Communications; Development and Alumni Relations; Grants; and
Special Events. The Vice President will empower and direct an
effective and cohesive team that sets and fulfills clear,
ambitious, and achievable goals including the formulation of
policies and programs that grow the financial and human investment
in the District and further enhance its culture of philanthropy.
The Vice President also serves as the Executive Director of the
MiraCosta Foundation and is the primary liaison with the MiraCosta
College Foundation and will have the primary
administrative and fundraising relationship with its Board of
Directors.
MiraCosta College fosters the academic and holistic success of its
diverse learners within a caring and equitable environment to
strengthen the educational, economic, cultural, and social
well-being of the communities it serves. MiraCosta College achieves
this mission through innovative teaching, learning, and support
services, and by offering degree, certificate, career education,
adult education, transfer, and life-long learning opportunities.
The MiraCosta Community College District includes Oceanside,
Carlsbad, Leucadia, Encinitas, Olivenhain, Rancho Santa Fe,
Cardiff, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, and parts of Camp
Pendleton. The student population in the credit program is
approximately 20,000. MiraCosta College is committed to providing a
strong, supportive, and authentic environment where difference is
valued, respected, encouraged, and honored; where all faculty,
staff, and students experience a sense of belonging and the freedom
to express themselves; and where their experiences are recognized
and valued. MiraCosta College strives to be a model for equity and
inclusion.
The MiraCosta College Foundation’s mission is to promote the
benefits of the College and secure resources that transform lives
in the community. Over the past five years, the Foundation has more
than doubled contributions to the College, which in turn tripled
the number of students who receive scholarships and doubled private
resources that support campus programs. One of the Foundation’s
priorities is the MiraCosta Promise, which will subsidize
tuition for all first-time, full-time college students to attend
MiraCosta College for two years. College affordability and student
support are primary drivers for the foundation.
Graduation from an accredited four-year college or university with
a bachelor’s degree, and at least five years of experience in one
or more of the following: institutional advancement, fundraising,
or communications and marketing, including two years of supervisory
experience is required for this position. A master’s degree
is preferred. All applications must be accompanied by a cover
letter and résumé. Cover letters should be responsive to the
mission and values of MiraCosta College as well as the
responsibilities and qualifications presented in the
prospectus.
