From Cazenovia College:
Cazenovia, N.Y. – Carol Satchwell, vice president for Institutional Advancement at Cazenovia College, recently announced that the College was chosen to receive an Overall Improvement award based on three years of data submitted to the Council for Aid to Education's annual Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) Survey, a national reporting and assessment document. More than 1,000 higher educational institutions were eligible. An independent data analyst narrowed the field to 482 and 47 institutions were selected to receive awards, 30 in the category of Overall Performance and 17 in the category of Overall Improvement.
Satchwell said, “Our fundraising program is succeeding because we are taking all the detailed, necessary steps to plan, provide proper outreach, and learn about our constituents and their interests, and above all else, to provide an ethically sound, consistent and professional service. At the core of our efforts is a solid communications program, which has helped us to raise the profile of the College, leading to an increase in enrollment and greater recognition by our constituents.”
Dr. Mark J. Tierno, president of the College, said, “This is well-deserved recognition. Over the past seven years the College has raised more than $9 million, and the fund-raising momentum is steadily building. Overall improvement truly is what the College has sought and this recognition confirms we are achieving it.”
