”UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Alyssa M. Wilcox, senior vice president and chief campaign planning officer at Purdue University, has been named vice president for development and alumni relations at Penn State, effective Jan. 13.
“Alyssa has a clear grasp of Penn State’s academic, research and service missions, with the deep understanding of how we work to benefit those throughout the commonwealth and beyond, and the strategic foresight to advance our efforts,” said Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi. “Alyssa is a committed leader who brings both her experience and enthusiasm to the team as we guide and elevate the passionate support of our alumni and friends.”
The vice president for development and alumni relations reports directly to the president and is charged with strategically leading the University’s advancement with frontline fundraising, alumni relations, event planning, major gift cultivation, corporate and foundation relations, and more. In this role, Wilcox will manage a budget of more than $67 million and lead nearly 600 full-time professional staff members in the Penn State Alumni Association and the Office of University Development, engaging with the University’s more than 775,000 living alumni and friends to further Penn State’s land-grant mission.
“This is an amazing opportunity to join Penn State, one of the world’s best universities with the largest alumni base in the nation and its strong brand identity,” Wilcox said. “I am thrilled to bring my experience in the philanthropic space to a complex, comprehensive organization like Penn State. The deeply dedicated community of alumni, families and others offers so many opportunities to engage.”
At Purdue, Wilcox managed a diverse portfolio, including the offices of industry partnerships, global partnerships and programs, engagement, external data analytics and units reporting to the chief of staff. She played an instrumental role in attaining the largest philanthropic contribution in Purdue’s history: a $100 million gift from Lilly Endowment. She also served on the multi-organizational, interdisciplinary team that attracted a $4 billion economic development commitment to West Lafayette. She has participated in and helped spearhead six capital campaigns, each increasing in size, beginning with $100 million at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, in the 1990s to more than $2.5 billion at Purdue University.“
