The Office of Institutional Advancement focuses on supporting the College by providing leadership, expertise and support for activities and initiatives in the areas of fundraising, grants development, marketing, branding, publications, media services, communications and web services.

The Office of Institutional Advancement develops transparent and effective external communications to raise public awareness of the College, its offerings, and its accomplishments; promotes the value the College brings to its many communities and constituencies; and continues to enhance institutional visibility—locally, statewide and nationally/internationally.

Within the Office of Institutional Advancement, the Suffolk Community College Foundation’s mission is to support student access to quality higher education and workforce training by providing scholarships, emergency student loans, and funding for program development.
