On this episode of the RAISE podcast, Brent talks to a long-time innovator, friend, and Advancement Services Great, Caroline Chang. After a varied career during which she “took the cookies as they were passed” (she'll explain what that means), Caroline landed as the Vice President of Community and Product Engagement at UC Innovation. Caroline has worked extensively as an internal and external partner with almost every CRM system in the advancement space, so she knows the ecosystem of traditional alumni databases and what each of them can and can't provide to fundraisers. Caroline was an early believer that if we can connect the digital engagement signals that alumni give us on social media with all the rich data that lives deep within alumni databases, we'll have the recipe for fundraising success in a modern advancement shop. Besides being a techie, innovator, and expert integrator, Caroline is also a cat-lover, a knitter, a breast cancer survivor, the chair of the CASE Summer Institute for Advancement Services, and a larger-than-life friend with so much personal and professional wisdom to share. Thank you, Caroline, for being a star guest on the RAISE podcast.About CarolineCaroline brings over 30 years of advancement experience to UC Innovation. As the former associate vice president for advancement services at Santa Clara University, she oversaw gift and biographic processing, reporting and technical services, training, and research and prospect management. She started her advancement career at Stanford University as director of young alumni and student development, then transitioned to director of annual giving for the Stanford Medical Center. She became Stanford's managing director of development operations in April 2003 and director of operations in November 2006. Outside of higher education, Caroline is passionate about animals and often thinks of becoming a veterinary technician as her next career. She is president and co-founder of The Catz Meow, an all-volunteer cat transport organization started in May 2016. She was recognized for excellence in teaching with the CASE Crystal Apple in 2016.

Jessica got hooked on fundraising when she secured her first $1K gift as a student telefund caller at Albright College. Since then she's had experience in just about every facet of development work, and it shows. Jessica and her team of prospect researchers at Dickinson have launched some amazing initiatives, including their Presidential Fellows program through which students connect with alums in their hometowns every summer (and gather invaluable data through those conversations); and the Revolutionary Challenge that empowered the Dickinson alumni community to suggest, vote on, build out, and promote the priorities of their new capital campaign. It's clear that Jessica fits in well at the helm of her team of creative, inspired, data-loving go-getters who continue to shoot the moon.About JessicaJessica joined Dickinson College in 2015 and currently serves as the Associate Vice President for College Advancement.

In 2019, Jessica's team established the Presidential Fellows program- approximately 25 current students were hired to go home over the summer and interview alumni. This discovery initiative resulted in over 800 interviews. In 2020 despite Covid challenges, students interviewed over 1300 Dickinsonians. Jessica served on the college's FY21 Financial Working Group. She currently serves on the Fall 2020 Reopening Implementation Committee - specifically on the subcommittees for Health & Quarantine and Travel & Campus Safety.Jessica led the technology and event needs for the Revolutionary Challenge - a chance for Dickinsonians to come together, leverage the college's emerging and existing strengths and address grand challenges with big ideas and bold deeds.
