You're absolutely right. It does take time. I do understand that the University has immediate needs all over the place. I understand that, but I also understand that in order for people to invest the kinds of money that will make a difference, it will not happen overnight. We have to be realistic about it.
Donors have choices.
I don't care about how much money Bill Gates has, if you don't get his attention, his interest, his involvement, then he's not going to give you any significant money. Two years from now, I want everyone on campus to know where the Institutional Advancement offices are and what we do. That's the first thing. Internally, we need to have a presence. And in two years I want people to look on us as a service-oriented resource for them.
