\n\t\tSouth Kingstown resident participates in three talks<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 June 11, 2004 \u2013 Triple plays are rare in baseball, but Robert Beagle, the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s vice president of advancement, pulled one off at a recent national conference on college athletics and advancement.<\/p>\n


\nThe South Kingstown resident participated in three highly attended programs at May\u2019s CASE Athletics and Advancement conference in New Orleans.<\/p>\n


\n Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the Council for Advancement and Support of Education is the professional organization for advancement professionals at all levels who work in alumni relations, communications, and development. Its springtime conference on athletics and advancement sold out.<\/p>\n


\n\tBeagle\u2019s major talk, \u201cCompeting Interests,\u201d dealt with the need to integrate athletics with overall university advancement goals.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI talked about how you can best line up alumni, boosters and advancement,\u201d Beagle said. \u201cWe all know that making athletic fund-raising part of central development can ease campus rivalries for limited funds and resources. The integrated approach makes fund-raising more effective for athletics and the University. The model not only promotes fund-raising, but it is also an approach for building relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tHe said he told the group that the best way to do it is to have athletic development officers report directly to the vice president of advancement, which is the way it is done at 溏心vlog免费B站.<\/p>\n


\n\tBeagle said this approach best ensures that if the university or college has a long-range strategic plan, the goals and objectives will include athletics. \u201cI believe this approach makes advancement across the University much more effective,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n


\n\tBeagle said the integrated model not only gets coaches involved in athletic fund-raising, it also involves them in campus-wide initiatives. He gave as an example Penn State football coach Joe Paterno\u2019s heavy involvement in fund-raising for the Penn State library, and Duke University basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski who fund-raises for the Duke medical center.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWe also know that for many people athletics is the first doorway that leads to University donations, and if we can build on that relationship, we can achieve greater success,\u201d Beagle added.<\/p>\n


\n\tBeagle said one of the best things about this CASE conference is that each year it brings together the best people in athletic fund-raising and university-wide advancement personnel to talk about common challenges.<\/p>\n


\n\tBeagle also gave a talk about naming rights to athletics facilities, which was entitled, \u201cWhat\u2019s in a Name?\u201d In that talk he discussed the benefits that the naming of athletic facilities can provide, but also addressed the downsides\u2014the name itself and the expectations, requests and even the demands of donors that may affect both the facility and the program.<\/p>\n


\n\tIn his final program, Beagle teamed up with Steven W. Wrigley, senior vice president for external affairs at the University of Georgia for a talk entitled, \u201cAthletics and \u2026.Everything.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tBeagle said they used a case-study approach to examine how negative issues or problems in an athletic department that play out in the public affect an institution\u2019s image, its ability to raise funds and attract students. \u201cWe took the position that in the final analysis, the impact of athletics on these areas is much less than people think,\u201d Beagle said. \u201cWhat appears to be a PR crisis usually isn\u2019t. The issue or problem is just one piece of what people hear. If the institution has a history of integrity, academic excellence and alumni achievement, then these negative issues can be just blips on the radar.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
