In addition, the Office of the Vice President for University Advancement coordinates the efforts to secure support for the university's legislative agenda, as well as supervises the university’s programs, functions and staff, which advance the institution among its external communities. In general, the Associate Vice President and Directors initiate, promote and supervise activities that foster positive relations with alumni, prospective students, the local community, the larger community and the media.
One of the current initiatives of the Office of the Vice President for University Advancement is the Stadium Campaign.
