The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with University
of Missouri in the search for a Senior Director for Advancement,
Sinclair School of Nursing.
Reporting to the Associate Vice Chancellor of Health Advancement,
the Senior Director for Advancement, Sinclair School of Nursing
will lead the development program for the Sinclair School of
Nursing, with focus on securing major and leadership gifts of five-
to seven-figure and above. The Senior Director will collaborate and
contribute as part of a larger team of colleagues in Health
Advancement to bolster the mission of the Sinclair School through
philanthropic support. The Senior Director will join the school as
it moves into the new home of the Sinclair School of Nursing, a
64,585 square-foot, $30 million state-of-the-art facility equipped
with a simulation center, staging rooms to mimic hospital settings
and other innovative spaces to progress education, research, and
clinical care.
Since 1839, and as Missouri’s only state-supported member of the
Association of American Universities, the University of Missouri
(MU) has been engaged in groundbreaking research and comprehensive
academics that define its strength as a higher education
institution. Today, MU supports 31,103 students in 300+ degree
programs, including 97 undergraduate majors, 96 master’s degrees,
69 doctoral degrees, and over 70 certificates. Students work side
by side with some of the world’s best faculty to advance the arts
and humanities, the sciences, and the professions. At MU,
scholarship and teaching are driven daily by a commitment to public
service—the obligation to produce and disseminate knowledge that
will improve the quality of life in the state, the nation, and the
world. MU’s NCAA Division I Athletics program in the Southeastern
Conference (SEC) has 550 student-athletes across 20 sports. There
are 344,000 MU alumni living around the world, 185,000 of which
remain in the state of Missouri, maintaining MU’s positive impact
globally and locally.
MU commits to acting ethically, welcoming differences, and
exchanging ideas openly. University leaders demonstrate commitment
to diversity, equity, and inclusion by ensuring each individual,
regardless of background, experiences, and perspectives, is
supported at MU. In the past eight years, the university created
the Division of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity, hired a Chief
Diversity Officer to lead the new division, and established
mandatory diversity training for those responsible for hiring. As
part of its student accessibility efforts, in 2021, MU invested
over $167 million in student scholarships and awards, allowing
nearly half of all MU students to graduate without debt.
On the heels of record retention and enrollment growth amidst
unprecedented challenges facing higher education in 2020, the
University of Missouri jumped 15 spots in the U.S. News &
World Report list of top national universities, rising to 124
in the publication’s newest rankings of more than 380 public and
private institutions. MU also moved up five spots, from No. 90 in
2020 to No. 85, among the Best Value Schools— a measure of colleges
that offer the best value for students getting need-based financial
aid. Additionally, the university climbed 13 spots to No. 86 among
the Best Colleges for Veterans.
Mizzou Advancement emphasizes talent acquisition and professional
development in service to its overall mission of enhancing private
support of the University of Missouri. As a result, the division

conclusion in 2020, it was the most successful philanthropic
campaign in the university's history, at over $1.4 billion.
