POSITION SUMMARY   IMSA is undertaking a $12M-$15M campaign to advance its 2033 Vision, including enhancing its residential facilities. Through intensive planning and research on student housing best practices, IMSA seeks to reimagine the student experience by modernizing our residential infrastructure for students now and for years to come. As we look ahead, we envision a campus and residential experience that reflects our strong reputation as a best-in-class math and science academy. A campus where students have greater access to needed services and amenities, enhanced living, learning and recreation spaces, equitable opportunities for students and families to connect, and expanded infrastructure for our growing student body. We are working with the state to secure funding for the residential halls; however, we will rely on private philanthropy for the shared amenity spaces dedicated to care, connection, and curiosity.   IMSA offers 10th-12th grade STEM-loving Illinois students from every socioeconomic background tuition-free educational offerings and opportunities they can’t find elsewhere in the state. IMSA exists to transform lives by transcending educational boundaries through inquiry and innovation. We offer a challenging education for students talented in the areas of mathematics and science, and we stimulate further excellence in STEM for all Illinois schools. Our world-class cadre of faculty and administrators and extensive range of STEM classes and research experiences transcend disciplinary boundaries. The IMSA experience also distinguishes itself through its unparalleled network of students, alumni, and partners dedicated to progress in STEM and united to help such trailblazing students fulfill their academic and career potential. Whether in class with an instructor, in the residence hall under the guidance of a resident counselor, or interacting with alumni working in a STEM field, a student’s IMSA experience is a shared and lifelong one.   This is an extraordinary opportunity for a skilled leader and experienced fundraiser to join a leading STEM Academy whose cadre of Alumni include the founder of YouTube, PayPal, Yelp and Match.com. IMSA seeks a mission-driven development professional who is eager to join our efforts to design and implement creative and high impact development strategies focused on the campaign, identify and pursue prospective new funders and major donors, and ensure that IMSA continues on its trajectory of growth and impact.
