Biographical / Historical
The West Chester University (WCU) Office of Development was established to raise private financial support for the university, WCU students, programs, and facilities from alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, foundations, and more. The office leads annual alumni fund appeals and scholarships, overseeing fundraising campaigns, and hosts related fundraising and promotional activities and events. They also publish communications that inform students, donors, and the community about WCU and its value and services.
They work closely with support scholarship organizations that advance their mission, which include, but are not limited to: West Chester University Foundation, the WCU Alumni Association, the Swope Foundation, and the W.
