Advancement & Alumni Office

The Office of University Advancement at FCCU serves as the outreach arm of the institution and works closely with alumni, government officials, community leaders, donors and the media. The Office oversees a wide range of responsibilities including, alumni relations, community engagement, development, donor relations, foundations and University events.  The Office of University Advancement builds relationships between the University and its donors, alumni, parents, and friends, to help seek funding support for student scholarships, programs, and endowment.
We define ‘Advancement’ as a strategic, integrated method of managing relationships to increase understanding and support among an educational institution’s key constituents, including but not restricted to: alumni and friends, government policy makers, the media, members of the community and philanthropic entities of all types.
