The BU community is alive with excitement as President Melissa Gilliam, a medical doctor, MacArthur-grant winning researcher, and adolescent health advocate assumed the university presidency on July 1, 2024. One of the largest nonprofit universities in the country, Boston University comprises 17 Schools and Colleges. Founded in 1839, BU has always been a hub for innovation.

This unique philanthropic tool greatly increases scholarship support and provides access to the best and brightest students around the world.

This position functions as a thought leader of the major gifts fundraising effort for the University and provides oversight, direction, and advice for the West and Midwest regions.
