CASE Europe

Earlier this year I was very lucky to have received the Virginia Carter Smith Scholarship through CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education). The award is named for a legendary CASE employee, Virginia "Ginny" Carter Smith, who served CASE and its members with unwavering passion and dedication from 1975 until retiring in 1991. Among her many roles, Smith oversaw books, publications, communications, conferences and the committee to advance minorities and women 💙 In my current role, CASE has been a fantastic way for me to develop my skills and experience and connect with other like-minded professionals through our work in alumni relations, communications, marketing, fundraising and advancement services. 🎓 For anyone in my network who has recently graduated or are about to graduate... CASE Europe partners with world class universities and not-for-profit organisations to offer a unique hands-on learning experience. On their one-year graduate trainee programme, you'll explore roles in educational fundraising, alumni relations and communications or marketing, collectively known as the advancement profession. This is a BRILLIANT opportunity for talented individuals to contribute towards the transformational impact of education, whether increasing philanthropic support, engaging alumni or helping to build an institution’s reputation ✨ Anyone looking to find out more, you can see full details about the Trainee Programme here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/emkM-xaz CASE Europe, #VirginiaCarterSmithScholarship #CASEEurope #graduateopportunities #alumnirelations #educationalfundraising #CASEGraduateTrainee
