Position Summary:
The University of Arizona Foundation is seeking a motivated and goal-oriented professional to join the Philanthropy & Alumni Engagement team as a Director of Development (DOD) for the College of Medicine – Tucson. The successful candidate will work to secure gifts of $50,000 or more to further the goals and objectives of the College.
The DOD will be a key member of this development team reporting to the Senior Director of Development for the College. This position is a member of the Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement Team (PAE) and subject to joint management by the University of Arizona and the University of Arizona Foundation as specified in the restated Development Services and Asset Management Agreement dated July 2, 2021.
The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson (COM-T) is transforming academic medicine through innovative undergraduate medical education and postgraduate training programs; strategic, interdisciplinary trans-institutional research; collaborative health care delivery; and a strong, diverse, and engaged faculty.
COM-T provides state-of-the-art programs of medical education, groundbreaking research opportunities, and leading-edge patient care. Founded on the campus of the University of Arizona (University) in 1967 as the state’s only MD degree-granting college and a resource for the people of Arizona, today the College of Medicine ranks among the top medical schools in the nation for research and primary care. From an initial class of just 32 students, the College of Medicine today has graduated more than 5,000 physicians. College of Medicine students, faculty, staff, and alumni today continue more than 50 years of service in advancing medical care and knowledge in Arizona—and around the world.
The College’s integrated, multidisciplinary curriculum combines the latest advances in biomedical science with the practice of the classical art of medicine. In 2015, The University partnered with Banner Health, the fourth-largest healthcare corporation in the country, which serves as COM-T’s primary clinical partner. In addition, affiliations with more than a dozen hospitals and healthcare facilities across two campuses ensure that students will always have access to groundbreaking research opportunities, world-class faculty, and meaningful patient-care experiences. A strong engagement and fundraising program is a critical component of COM-T’s strategic plan. Increased private philanthropy from alumni, grateful patients, community members, institutional funders, friends, and other constituencies is vital to the COM-T’s future impact on the health of people in Arizona, the nation, and the world. COM-T is part of the University of Arizona Health Sciences (UAHS), a statewide leader in biomedical research and health professions training. UAHS is comprised of the University of Arizona Colleges of Medicine (Phoenix and Tucson), Nursing, Pharmacy, and Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health; the University of Arizona Cancer Center; and 23 centers and institutes dedicated to research and patient care, with main campus locations in Tucson and the growing Biomedical Campus in downtown Phoenix.
