About Advancement

Helping Futures Take Flight

The Office of Institutional Advancement at Lehman College is proud to steward the dreams of our students and the ambitions of our borough. Through meaningful partnerships and philanthropy, we create pathways to bridge where public support ends and opportunities begin.

Strategically, the Office has two goals.

  • To identify and cultivate those individuals, corporations, and foundations that can respond to a broad range of the College’s needs.
  • To increase the overall percentage of alumni who give to Lehman.

All gifts, whether large or small, support Lehman scholarships and fellowships; faculty and academic departments; research and graduate programs; capital and equipment needs; health and wellness initiatives; and community outreach and events.

Now, we’re asking you to help shape the future of Lehman College as we embark on Forever Forward, a $100 million campaign to write the next chapter of Lehman College.

Lehman represents a community of understanding and an accessible, impactful education. It has been instrumental in my growth and development, fostering a sense of community that I will always cherish.
