University Advancement

Thomas W. Jennings

The Office of University Advancement supports the University's mission of teaching, scholarship and public service by engaging our alumni, parents, and friends, telling the FSU story, and inspiring the hearts and minds of those we serve. In support of these efforts, University Advancement works to increase Florida State University's capacity for generating private philanthropy and volunteer support.

The mission of University Advancement is to enhance the University's leadership, reputation and private financial support in academics, research, service and athletics.

Under the leadership of Vice President Tom Jennings, the division oversees the FSU Alumni Association, FSU Foundation, Seminole Boosters and development efforts for the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota.
