Interim Leadership in University Advancement

Laurentian Community,

I am pleased to share that Kim Robinson Hissong ‘94, who has been leading the university advancement division since early October as Acting Vice President, has accepted my invitation to serve as Interim Vice President effective immediately. 

She brings to the position close to 25 years of experience at St. Lawrence University. Before her most recent appointment, she has served as Associate Vice President for University Advancement since 2014. During that time, she played a pivotal role in the successful completion of the Campaign For Every Laurentian, which raised $232 million. She oversaw major gift fundraising, alumni relations, annual giving, advancement operations, and donor relations efforts. 

Prior to joining St. Lawrence, Kim worked for four years as the executive director of a non-profit advocacy and counseling organization based in Canton, NY, and has served on several non-profit boards and foundations.

I have confidence in Kim and the rest of the University Advancement leadership team to continue to steer our fundraising and engagement operations successfully during this transitional time. 

We will begin a new national search for a Vice President for University Advancement after the New Year begins. 

Sincerely,

Kate Morris
