Today, the University delivers on its original land-grant mission of access to education and knowledge by investing in the academics, facilities, support, engagement and vibrant campus life that promote our diverse students' cognitive growth and academic achievement - all while remaining one of the best values in American higher education. Reporting to and collaborating with the Director of Planned Giving, the DODPG will advise donors, faculty, and Advancement staff on planned and deferred giving opportunities, including bequests, trusts, beneficiary designations, charitable gift annuities, retirement accounts, securities, real estate, mining claims, and life insurance.
