As we have moved firmly into the 21st century and as our society and its expectations are continuously evolving, so must our higher education advancement practices. Rather than asking How do we want alumni and donors to engage with our universities?, we must ask How are these individuals already intuitively engaging the world? Instead of falling into the trap of thinking What are global best practices in higher education advancement?, we should be asking Which global companies are curious and responsive in their interaction with humans, and what can we learn from them? In answering these questions, this thesis tests a human-centered solicitation approach via three primary channels: mail, phone, and email. For each channel, multiple tests were performed and the principles and tools of human-centered design and user experience are implemented, including ethnographic interviews, user personas, and A/B testing. The results of these tests lead to the recommendation of a user-centered approach to philanthropic interactions that is constantly testing and evolving practices. Now more than ever, consciously building and testing systems centered around removing obstacles impeding giving defines the work of the modern advancement professional.

The pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for universities to adapt, focusing on both academic quality and holistic student growth. Data from pandemic school closures show significant academic declines, especially in vulnerable communities, emphasizing the importance of flexible and intentional, high-quality education. At the University of Minnesota-Rochester, we support problem-based, interdisciplinary, experiential learning models to develop core habits of mind - like curiosity, creativity, and data analytics. Additionally, the pandemic underscored the need for supporting students' mental and emotional well-being, as academic success is so closely linked to personal well-being. At UMR, we ensure students have access to personalized conversations with their success coach as well as mental health resources while also creating inclusive learning communities to help students thrive. By evolving in these ways, universities can better prepare students not just for careers but for resilient and meaningful lives. #pandemicimpact #UMR #students #mentalhealth Full article in the The New York Times - https://lnkd.in/gNJXy7Zv

Congratulations Jim Johnsen. I know this was a heavy lift but so worth it and so timely. Scale matters in higher ed. A lot. It results in more affordable access, better student outcomes, and improved operational efficiency. While there are a variety of ways to achieve scale, university systems have it naturally bestowed upon them and can leverage it for good if they can figure out how. Your book provides important signposts!
