\"\"<\/a>Michael T. Casey joined Trinity as vice president for College advancement in June. Reporting to President Joanne Berger-Sweeney, Casey took over leadership of the Advancement Division \u2014 including development, alumni relations, and advancement information services \u2014 from Jack Fracasso, who retired that same month.<\/p>\n

Casey comes to Trinity from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, where he served as the Collyer Vice President for Advancement. In an announcement to the Trinity campus community about Casey\u2019s appointment, Berger-Sweeney said, \u201cMichael has spent nearly three decades in advancement, the majority of that at three liberal arts colleges: Franklin & Marshall, Wesleyan University, and Skidmore. He has played leadership roles in three major institutional planning efforts and planned four successful capital\/comprehensive fundraising campaigns, all of which set new highs for their respective institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Berger-Sweeney noted that members of the search committee reported that Casey conveyed eloquently how his own liberal arts education and experience as a first-generation college student transformed his life and continue to motivate his work building support to enable others to have a transformative liberal arts experience.<\/p>\n

Casey said, \u201cI am tremendously excited to be joining the Trinity community at this auspicious moment in its history and to work with President Berger-Sweeney and the rest of the cabinet and staff to realize the College\u2019s hopes and ambitions. Trinity is a remarkable institution, and I hope that I can do my part to continue its tradition of excellence and achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casey is a 1981 graduate of Harvard University, where he earned a B.A. cum laude in Irish history and literature. At Skidmore, he was active in community and civic efforts, including serving as a member of the boards of the Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs, the Saratoga Regional YMCA, and the Saratoga Convention and Tourism Bureau. <\/p>\n
