Sandra S. Deller has been appointed vice
president for Institutional Advancement at William Paterson University
following a national search.
She is responsible for providing overall leadership, management
and coordination of the University's fund raising, alumni affairs,
public relations, marketing and publications programs.
“I am delighted that Sandra has joined the William Paterson
University community to assist us in developing the relationships
and resources that will support university excellence,” said
Arnold Speert, president. “She will provide policy level direction
and supervision of fund-raising programs as we begin the final two-year
phase of our comprehensive fund-raising campaign.”
Deller, who brings more than twenty years of progressively responsible
experience in the areas of fund raising, institutional advancement,
development and public relations to the institution, most recently
held the position of assistant vice president of principal gifts
at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, Ohio, a
private, research institution with an endowment of more than $1.4
billion. In that role, she was the senior development officer reporting
to the CWRU president.
Previously, she served as director of major gifts and special assistant
to the senior vice president of development and university relations
at CWRU. In that role, in concert with the senior administration
cabinet, she planned a $1 billion capital campaign for the institution.
From 1987 to 1992, she was executive director of development and
external affairs for the Bolton School of Nursing at CWRU.
Earlier in her career, Deller served as director of development
for the Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center, as a consultant to
John Carroll University, as the director of development and public
relations at the Greater Lafayette Museum of Art in Lafayette, Indiana
and as producer, talent coordinator, and host for Midbreak-18, a
live weekly news and interview program broadcast on the CBS-affiliate
in Lafayette.
Deller is a graduate of Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, with
a bachelor’s degree in English and communications and she
has completed graduate course work at Butler University and Purdue
University in Indiana. Her book with Joyce Fitzpatrick, Fundraising
Skills for Health Care Executives, was selected for the American
Journal of Nursing “Book of the Year” award for 2001.
