Advancement Operations

Advancement Operations supports the Division’s efforts to build lifelong relationships with students, alumni, and supporters, fostering a strong community engaged with A&T. Through these efforts, we work together to advance the university.

We provide a solid technological infrastructure and are responsible for strategic development services, including prospect research, gift processing, technology, document imaging, training, and data services. Our role is to meet the needs of fundraising professionals using the university’s relational database while developing and implementing strategic plans for future information system needs.

Our goal is to ensure the university's strategic plan is achieved through efficient, accountable, and robust infrastructure support.
