Joseph Kender

As Sr VP for University Relations, I am responsible for setting the strategy and execution for fundraising, alumni relations, and Government & Community Relations. Together, our team raises capital to support strategic initiatives, including financial aid, capital projects, and academic and co-curricular programs. I consider myself an educator, not in the direct way as a member of the faculty, but the capital we raise through the generosity of donors has a tremendous impact on our ability to deliver a world-class educational experience to our students.

"I've worked at Georgetown and my alma mater, Lehigh, and while they are two excellent institutions, the transformative experience we provide to our students is unlike any I have been a part of. It's incredibly important to me to give back so we can do more of what we do so well."
