Database Management
We ensure proper training, monitoring and updating of the advance database. We enlist support using data integrity reports to ensure accuracy is maintained while policies and procedures are adhered to. We assist the Donations unit to make ready donations received to allow generation of receipts and acknowledgement letters. We provide the necessary link between Advancement Services and Annual Fund phone center to ensure new information obtained by student callers is accurately reflected on the Advance database. In striving to perform the most accurate database possible, we perform daily traces through web, phone, and mail communication.
