Professional development

Interactions with donors and alumni can offer our members many opportunities for professional development.

Opportunities

Members can hone their networking and public speaking skills by hosting events for alumni and stewarding our unique donors to the university. Additionally, members have the opportunity to attend Council for Advancement and Support of Education Affiliated Student Advancement Programs (CASE ASAP), a conference that showcases the hard work of Student Foundation. Attending this conference allows members to gain insight and develop the organization further by sharing ideas with students from similar organizations. Members also have the opportunity to present on different topics at CASE ASAP.
