I am pleased to announce that the University has appointed Liza Boffen-Yordanov as its new Director of Advancement.
Liza’s appointment follows an extensive international recruitment process to appoint a talented and experienced leader to take forward our next fundraising campaign, and to lead the strategy for our Directorate of Development and Alumni Relations.

Liza has held senior positions in the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Franklin University Switzerland, The George Washington University, The National University of Singapore, and Purdue University. She and her teams have raised hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of the last 24 years.
