BSU fund-raiser to lead
Manchester College’s efforts
E. Michael Eastman will
bring an extensive background in fund-raising, strategic planning and
alumni administration as Manchester College’s new vice president for
College Advancement. Eastman, currently director of
 development
for Ball State University, will join the Manchester College leadership
in mid-September, announced President Jo Young Switzer.
Eastman has led major gift
development activities at BSU since 2002. He also has served as alumni
director for the University of Cincinnati, George Mason University and
Anderson University.
At Manchester, he will lead
a team that has surpassed a $52 million fund drive more than a year
early with $15.5 million extra, including financing without debt a $17
million Science Center to be dedicated Sept. 16. The College continues
to raise funds for an expanded College Union, also a part of the $52
million campaign. The College is on the
cusp of a new strategic plan that will direct the next fund-raising
emphasis, which will include bolstering The Manchester Fund.
Eastman earned a doctorate
in adult and community education from Ball State, a master’s in
religious education and a bachelor’s in elementary education from
Anderson, and a master’s in educational administration from The Ohio
State University.
Manchester, a
Church of the Brethren college, offers in-depth study in more than 34
areas to about 1,100 students. U.S. News & World Report this week
ranked Manchester as one of the Best Colleges in the Midwest. For more
