    Empathetic Engagement

    Awareness and understanding are crucial when advancement personnel interact with alumni suffering from dementia

    Worldwide, dementia affects more than 50 million people. For alumni with dementia, the condition may alter their personality or ability to engage like they used to, but it doesn’t cancel their lifetime connection to their alma maters. Working with alumni suffering from dementia takes patience, tact, and graciousness.

    Integrating Advancement

    For schools, it requires looking through multiple lenses, not just donning multiple hats

    To address new and increasing challenges, we must return to the heart of what CASE advocates: true integration for the health of our institutions. Schools must move from a rubber-stamp version of integration into a truly collaborative, revenue-generating unit. The process for doing so is not as labor-intensive as one may imagine and will ultimately produce a nimble external affairs team.
