GREENSBORO -- Dr. Patricia W. Stewart, vice president of the
Florida State University Foundation, has been appointed vice
chancellor for university advancement at The University of North
Carolina at Greensboro.
UNCG Chancellor Patricia A. Sullivan announced the appointment
following its approval by the UNC Board of Governors. Stewart will
assume her duties July 1. She succeeds Dr. Richard L. "Skip" Moore,
who is leaving UNCG to become president of the Weaver Foundation.
"Patricia Stewart will be a valuable addition to the
University administration," Sullivan said. "She possesses a tremendous
knowledge of fund raising and is keenly aware of the critical role
that private support plays in a university's success today. Having
been a faculty member during her career, she also has seen firsthand
how private support benefits students in the classroom.
"At Florida State, she has amassed a record of success in
cultivating the relationships that are necessary to ensure continued
support of academic programs and scholarships," Sullivan said.
"Furthermore, her understanding of the key roles that effective alumni
and university relations play in the overall development effort will
enable her to lead the Division of University Advancement as it builds
upon the huge success of the recently completed Second Century
Campaign for UNCG. I am very pleased to welcome her to UNCG."
At Florida State, Stewart directed the planning, organization,
implementation and evaluation of all constituent fund-raising
programs. She also directed the supervision of the development
officers for the university's 16 colleges and schools. In addition,
she maintained a personal portfolio of major gift prospects, and
managed, directed and took part in the solicitation of gifts ranging
from $100,000 to $5 million. During her tenure, the university
completed a successful $300 million capital campaign, and total giving
increased 100 percent.
"I am thrilled to be joining the UNCG family," Stewart said.
"I'm looking forward to embracing new challenges and working with the
outstanding University Advancement team there. UNCG has strong
leadership, wonderful students and excellent programs, and I am eager
to tell the University's story to our alumni and donors."
Stewart is well-acquainted with North Carolina. Prior to
joining the Florida State administration in 1995, she served as vice
president for institutional advancement at Peace College in Raleigh
for four years. From 1987-91, she held fund-raising positions at N.C.
State University, and she earlier worked at Saint Mary's College. For
nine years, she was a faculty member at Pennsylvania State University,
teaching courses in anatomy, physiology, man and disease, and sports
medicine.
A native of Reading, Pa., Stewart received bachelor's,
master's and Doctor of Education degrees from Penn State. She also
attended the Williamsburg Development Institute in Virginia.
The division Stewart will head at UNCG is responsible for fund
raising, alumni relations and university relations. It consists of the
following offices: Development, Alumni Affairs, Advancement Services,
Annual Programs, University Relations, University News Service,
University Publications and the Spartan Club. The division has 59
employees.
