The mission of the Office of Advancement is to establish and maintain relationships that lead to philanthropic gifts to support the university. We support student success and faculty scholarship through contributions from alumni, individual donors, foundations and corporations. Whether a donor wishes to make a current gift, establish an endowment to support the university now and in the future, or consider gift planning opportunities through their estate, the Division of Advancement can provide advice and assistance.

Operational units include Individual Giving, Corporate Relations, Alumni Relations, Annual Giving, Planned Giving and Advancement Services.

Through their willingness to give time, talent and financial resources, UHD donors play a vital role in strengthening the institution and helping students to achieve success.

Our students are self-actualized, focused on their goals and intent on fulfilling their dreams. Gifts, such as scholarships, professorships, program support and funding for special initiatives, help to ensure that those goals are met and dreams are realized. 

UHD Advancement professionals make certain that every opportunity is provided for donors to fulfill their own dreams through meaningful gifts.
