There is no better place to build a resume in university advancement than Penn State. From legal professionals to communicators to frontline fundraisers, there is a place on our team for anyone who believes in the power of higher education—and philanthropy—to shape the world.

When you become a Penn Stater, you’ll gain a wealth of resources for advancement-specific learning, career development, and mentorship as well as access to enterprise-wide learning solutions and professional memberships.

As you grow in your role, you’ll contribute to record-breaking success. During our last campaign, we raised more than $2.2 billion dollars through gifts from 697,000 donors—the most successful fundraising effort in University history. And with nearly 800,000 dedicated alumni, we’re poised to extend our impact in the years to come.

 

Penn State cares about its people

 As you advance in your career, we’ll help you to create the life you envision. The University boasts top-tier benefits for employees and their families, including competitive retirement and health care packages, tuition discounts for spouses and dependents, holidays, and generous paid time off, including parental leave and a University-wide break during the holidays.

“We Are!” includes everyone.

Our strength as a team stems from the diverse backgrounds of our staff and the broader Penn State community. Our Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging is working to uphold the University’s commitment to equity through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), regular trainings, and division-wide discussions. We’re committed to building an even stronger culture of inclusivity that affirms the dignity and contributions of all our members and everyone we serve.
