Under the leadership of President Gloria Larson, Bentley has continued its rise in the rankings and has significantly elevated its academic reputation.  Bentley continues to evolve its academic programs to attract top tier faculty and highly talented, motivated students.

Waltham, Massachusetts

Located on 163 acres in Waltham, Massachusetts, the Bentley campus offers the best of both worlds: a safe, suburban campus with ready access to Boston, the largest college town in the country.  The campus is minutes west of Boston and offers a free daily shuttle from campus to Harvard Square in Cambridge. The original home of the Boston Manufacturing Company, the city was a prototype for 19th century industrial city planning, spawning what became known as the Waltham-Lowell system of labor and production. The city is now a hub for research and higher education with Bentley and Brandeis University calling the city home. The city’s rich history is also celebrated at a number of museums, monuments, and archives. The Charles River Museum of Industry, the Waltham Watch Factory historic district, the Gore Estate, the Lyman Estate, and the Robert Treat Payne Estate are among the most well known of the 109 sites in the city on the National Register of Historical Sites.

University Leadership

Gloria Cordes Larson, a talented business leader, prominent lawyer, and public policy expert, was appointed President of Bentley University on July 1, 2007.

Prior to becoming President of Bentley, Larson was the Co-Chair of the Government Strategies Group at Foley Hoag LLP, a leading national law firm. Widely influential in economic policy, Larson has also led a business advisory cabinet for Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and served as co-chair of his transition team in 2006. In addition, she was Secretary of Economic Affairs from 1993 to 1996, and Secretary of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation from 1991 to 1993, under Massachusetts Governor William Weld.

After serving for more than a decade, Larson stepped down as the Chairman of the Board of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) in 2010. Under her leadership the organization oversaw the renovation of the MassMutual Center in Springfield and the $800 million construction of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, which opened in June 2004 in Boston’s waterfront district.

Larson is an advocate for education and job creation, a commitment which was evident in her work as Co-Chair of the Board of the non-partisan think tank MassINC; Co-Chair of the Great Schools Campaign, a school reform partnership managed by the Mass Insight Education and Research Institute; and her role in Global Massachusetts 2015, a multi-year leadership initiative to create a vision for economic success in key and emerging industry sectors over the next decade.

Larson received her bachelor of arts with honors from Vassar College and earned her juris doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law. She received an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from Northeastern University in 2005 and from Mount Wachusett Community College in 2003.

The Davis School prepares professionals in areas of gerontology including biology, psychology, and social sciences, as well as the management and administration of institutions designed to serve older adults.

“Please join President [C. L. Max] Nikias and me in warmly congratulating Dr. Pinchas Cohen on his appointment as dean of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology,” said Elizabeth Garrett, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs. “Dr. Cohen comes to USC from UCLA, where he has distinguished himself as an innovative researcher, a successful administrator and an inspiring leader.”

At the UCLA School of Medicine, Dr. Cohen served as vice chair for research, chief and professor of endocrinology at Mattel’s Children Hospital, and associate director of the UCSD/UCLA Diabetes Center. He has overseen numerous teaching, training, and research activities and has been involved in multiple programs related to diseases of aging, including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and metabolic disorders.

Dr. Cohen’s research focuses on the emerging field of mitochondrial biology; his team has demonstrated the importance of mitochondrial peptides in aging and longevity. He has published more than 250 papers in top scientific journals and his work has been cited in the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.

“Columbia’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, respected around the world for its pioneering research on geophysical science and climate change, is a unique and essential part of our University,” said Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger. “We are fortunate to have someone of Sean Solomon’s extraordinary scientific accomplishments and executive experience become Lamont-Doherty’s new director.”

Solomon is a research scientist and director emeritus at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C. and currently leads NASA’s orbiting exploration of the planet Mercury. Among his other noted projects are the Magellan mission to Venus and the Mars Global Surveyor mission. He is a co-investigator for NASA’s GRAIL spacecraft mission, which is mapping the moon’s gravitational field, and a veteran of numerous oceanographic cruises studying mid-ocean ridges and the dynamics of the deep subsurface.

Between 1996 and 1998, Solomon served as president of the American Geophysical Union, the world’s largest organization of earth and space scientists. Since 2004, he has been a member of the Columbia Earth Institute’s external advisory board.

“I have enormous admiration for the achievements that have been made by Lamont staff in science and education,” said Solomon. “The observatory’s emphasis on fundamental research and its tie to the Earth Institute, where science is applied to address social issues, is a package that I found difficult to resist. With many interests in earth sciences, I have spent pleasant times between spacecraft missions during my career studying the problems of our own planet.”

After finishing his Ph.D. in geophysics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1971, Solomon stayed on for two decades to teach and conduct research. In 1978, a paper he published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters outlined the paradigm for understanding the tectonics of the solar system’s rocky inner planets.

The University

Founded in 1856, the University of Maryland is the flagship institution of the University System of Maryland, and is one of the nation’s premier public research universities, ranking 12^th among all public U.S. universities and 36^th worldwide in a recent international survey.  The faculty includes numerous Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners.  With a Fall 2011 enrollment of 37,600 students, more than 100 undergraduate majors and 120 graduate programs, Maryland is the largest university in the state and in the Washington Metropolitan Area.

The University counts among its greatest strengths — and a major component of its excellence — the diversity of its faculty, students, and staff. The University of Maryland, College Park is committed to equal educational opportunity and strives to hire a diverse faculty and staff of exceptional achievement through affirmative actions, to celebrate diversity in all of its programs and activities, and to recruit and retain qualified graduate and undergraduate minority students.

The University of Maryland’s proximity to the nation’s capital has resulted in strong research partnerships with the Federal government. Many members of the faculty receive research funding and institutional support from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Homeland Security.

The University of Maryland is a member of the Association of American Universities and a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference athletic league. The Maryland Terrapins are strong and storied competitors in the NCAA Division I Atlantic Coast Conference. The mascot, Testudo, is a Diamondback terrapin—prompting the slogan, “Fear the Turtle”. One of several Testudo sculptures on campus sits in front of McKelden Library and looks out over the expansive Mall; rubbing its nose is thought to bring good luck, particularly before exams.

University Leadership

Wallace D. Loh became the 33rd president of the University of Maryland, and professor in its School of Public Policy, in November 2010. He provides leadership to the university’s 26,800 undergraduate and 10,800 graduate students, 12 colleges and schools, and 9,000 faculty and staff members.  President Loh stewards UMD’s $1.7 billion operating budget (including about $500 million annually in externally sponsored research) and its on-going $1 billion “Great Expectations” fundraising campaign, of which more than $930 million has been raised thus far.

President Loh’s priorities include strengthening educational excellence by emphasizing student opportunity and achievement; expanding innovation and entrepreneurship to make the university a major catalyst for economic vitality in the region and the nation; internationalizing the university by bringing the world to the campus and projecting the campus to the world; and adapting the public service values of the land-grant mission to enhance the quality of life of people of the state of Maryland.

Babson College seeks nominations and applications for the newly-created position of Senior Director of the Office of Corporate, Foundation & Government Relations (CFGR) within the Development Office. The Senior Director of CFGR will have the opportunity to cultivate new connections between Babson and potential sources of external funding. Babson’s commitment to Global Entrepreneurship is fertile ground for partnering with domestic and international organizations of many different kinds. Working closely with the Vice President of Development and other members of the senior administration, the Senior Director will identify entities interested in supporting and furthering the research and programmatic endeavors at Babson. The Senior Director will work with members of the Babson community interested in securing external funding.

Babson College

Founded in 1919 by financier and entrepreneur Roger W. Babson, Babson College is located on 370 acres in Wellesley, MA, 14 miles west of Boston. Babson offers undergraduate (Bachelor of Science degrees in 27 business and liberal arts areas), graduate, and executive education programs and is accredited by AACSB, The International Association for Management Education, NEASC and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). Babson has been ranked #1 for Entrepreneurship by U.S. News & World Report America’s Best Colleges for 15 years.

Babson has 235 faculty members and 2,000 undergraduate students (from 41 states and 72 countries) on its Babson Park campus. The F.W. Olin Graduate School at Babson College offers MBA and MS programs, and other graduate-level learning opportunities in Wellesley, Boston, San Francisco and abroad. The Executive Education program at Babson is another highly-ranked, vibrant component of the school.

Entrepreneurship is the leading concept bringing students, faculty, and staff together to address the real-world problems of business and society – while at the same time evolving methods and advancing programs for the College. The goal at every level is to shape leaders with strong functional knowledge and the skills and vision to navigate change, accommodate ambiguity, surmount complexity and motivate teams in a common purpose to create economic and social value.

Development at Babson

The Development program is closely aligned with Marketing and the Alumni & Friends Network – each of these three groups is led separately by a Vice President reporting directly to the President. The President was very actively involved in the most recent campaign and continues to play an important role in development activities. Within the Development Office there are three main tracks: the Leadership Gift team, which is responsible for securing the resources required to fulfill the mission of Babson College; The Fund for Babson, which is responsible for raising budget-relieving, current-use funds; and the Office of Corporate, Foundation and Government Relations, which works to develop resources from those sectors.

In January of this year, the Babson Rising campaign ended successfully, securing over $216 million from 17,500 gifts, and 11,000 alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, friends and organizations. This was well over the originally stated goal of $200 million, which was reached three months ahead of schedule. The energy that this created is substantial, and the college leadership is eager to see this reflected in the funds brought in through CFGR.

Corporate, Foundation & Government Relations

The Office of Corporate, Foundation and Government Relations currently provides guidance and assistance to faculty and staff seeking funding from corporations, foundations and government agencies to support their research and curricular development initiatives. This includes the pre-award services of identifying, researching and cultivating funding prospects, as well as proposal drafting and submission. Post-award assistance includes grant negotiation, budget clarification, and financial and narrative reports.

At present approximately $2 million is brought in through CFGR annually. A quarter of this goes to research activities, such as an NSF-supported project examining the effects of seasonality and the changing climate on the arctic economy. The remainder of the funds goes to programmatic and project support for exciting global activities such as educational opportunities about micro-finance and entrepreneurship for youth in Tanzania.

Opportunities, Expected Outcomes and Challenges

Coming off a very successful campaign, Babson is well positioned to expand the revenue raised by the Office of Corporate, Foundation and Government Relations. The incoming Senior Director will have the opportunity to broaden the funding relationships for which Babson actively seeks support. The goal is to increase funding to $10 million a year or more from Corporate, Foundation and Government entities.

Working closely with the Vice President of Development, the Senior Director will identify new funding opportunities for a number of existing programs and research projects. Together with the faculty members who lead these initiatives, the Senior Director will be expected to develop a strategy for: finding appropriate sources of funding, some of which will be new to the College; crafting proposals to be delivered in writing and/or in person; and steering the proposal towards a successful outcome.

It is also anticipated that the Senior Director will seek to build connections between mission-specific funding agencies and appropriate newly-developing programs at Babson.

The Senior Director will be responsible for managing all the activities of the Director and Assistant Director of Corporate, Foundation & Government Relations.

Qualifications

A Bachelor’s degree is required (Master’s degree preferred), as is 10+ years of successful work experience as a fundraising professional, focusing on corporate, foundation and/or government agencies.

Additional qualifications include:

• Strong leadership and management experience, as well as the ability to serve as a mentor within the Corporate, Foundation and Government Relations Office.
• Familiarity with successful proposal-writing techniques and processes.
• Excellent business writing, interpersonal and organizational skills.
• Demonstrated ability to represent the college to corporations, foundations and government agencies.
