Dear Assumption Faculty and Staff,
I wish to inform the Assumption community that Linda Rosenlund ’82, Acting Vice President for University Advancement, has accepted an offer to serve as Vice President for Advancement for The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts. Linda’s last day will be Monday, June 13, following Reunion Weekend and the Light the Way Capital Campaign celebration.
Linda began her service to the Assumption community in October 2005 as Director of Stewardship & Special Events. Since that time, she has served in a number of roles such as Associate Director of Annual Fund & Director of Parent Programs (2010-2012); Major Gifts Officer (2012-2016); Major Gifts Officer & Director of Alumni Engagement (2016-2019); and Assistant Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations (2019-2021).
Among the many contributions Linda made to strengthening alumni giving and engagement, she partnered with former Professor Arlene DeWitt to establish the Assumption Women’s Leadership Forum, a collaboration of the Alumni Office, Career Development Office, and faculty. In 2015, in collaboration with faculty from what is now the Grenon School of Business, she established the New York City March Break Externship program for students to network with Assumption alumni in New York City. These initiatives undoubtedly enhanced students’ experience and prepared them for meaningful careers.
The University is particularly grateful for Linda’s willingness to assume the responsibilities of the Acting V.P. position. Since a search for the next Vice President for University Advancement is expected to soon conclude, the position will remain vacant until the Search Committee has completed its work and identified a finalist. Please join me in wishing Linda the very best as she prepares to depart Assumption after several years of dedicated service to the community.
