Advancement

The Office of Institutional Advancement consists of three distinct facets working together to support the mission of the University. 

The Alumni and Development Offices provide all manner of services and helpful information for alumni from McKendree. In addition, we provide alumni, parents and friends of the University the opportunity to provide much needed financial assistance to McKendree to help sustain and nurture the high quality, value-centered, liberal arts education that McKendree is known to provide its students.

The Office of Church Relations nurtures the main link between the University and the congregations and leadership of the Illinois Great Rivers Conference of the United Methodist Church . In addition, the Office of the Chaplain programs faith based opportunities for current students, faculty and staff on the campus in the form of worship opportunities, bible studies and special programs, and beyond the campus through a wide variety of mission opportunities.
