Communications & Development
The mission of the Office of Communications and Development (C&D) is to maximize volunteer and financial support and to enhance the College's image and reputation among its various constituencies. Offices are located in the Anderson-Connell Alumni Center, which was originally an inn called Lee's Tavern and the home of the Root family.

C&D is divided into three major divisions:

• Alumni Programs;
• Communications, including Media Relations and Publications; and
• Development, including Annual Giving, Major and Principal Gifts, Planned Giving and Foundation, Corporate and Government Relations.
