our alumni, friends and volunteer networks sets the benchmark for our peer
institutions.

We manage financial and information systems that are accessible and
that house, track and provide accurate information and timely reports to
support all University Advancement activities.

We provide a margin of excellence from private sources, placing
emphasis on securing endowed funds to support university priorities. Our
centralized-decentralized structure has high-quality, appropriately
aggressive, coordinated and successful fund-raising programs in the areas of
annual giving, major gifts and planned giving. We strive to be excellent stewards
of these funds and regularly involve and report to our contributors,
volunteers and alumni regarding the use of private funds.

We are the public voice of the University of Texas Medical Branch. We
promote understanding of UTMB's education, patient care, research, and
community service missions by telling our stories well to our patients,
employees, alumni, students, friends, and the world at large.
