Bartley Chosen A New
Director Of Development
By Angela Corbett
Editor-In-Chief
There is a new innovative aura in the
Development Office, which will be visible
with the new direction of Vanessa
deSaussure Bartley, the new Director of
Development.
Before receiving the position at Winston-
Salem State University, Bartley was the
owner of Network Consultants, based in
Columbia, S.C., and prior to that she worked
for the country's largest fund-raising, Ket-
chiim. Inc., as a cbnsultant. She commented
that this endeavor procided some excellent
experiences and she is “looking forward to
implementing new things” at the universi
ty.
Originally from Washington, D.C. Bartley
was reared in Columbia, S.C., where she at
tended public school. She has one brother
who is an auditor for South Carolina and
also runs an accounting business. Bartley
earned her Bachelor of Arts and Science
degrees at Bennetl College in Greensboro,
N.C. and her Master of Social Work degree
at Tulane University Graduate School in
New Orleans, La. She also received an
honorable discharge from the U.S. Army
Reserve where she earned the rank of Cap
tain. She is a member of the Delta Sigma
Theta sorority and holds membership in
several fund ra’ising and civic organizations
activities.
Upon first learning of the position at
WSSU Bartley was actually preparing to go
to Washington for another job. Never
theless, after talking with Myron Chenaull,
Vice Chancellor for Development and
University Relations and being impressed
with Chancellor Thompson's vision for the
university she decided otherwise. Since she
has always been intrigued by fund-raising,
Bartley foresaw adventure in joining the
WSSU staff.
As the Director of Development Bartley's
position is designed lo attract more finan
cial support, since Development it is the
general outreach of the university. Accor
ding to Bartley people do not give because
they have money or because we need it, in
stead they give because they care about us.
So, we have to raise friends before we raise
funds.
Actual fund-raising activity of a college
development program includes annual giv
ing, which comes, usually for operating ex
penses and other restricted purposes on a
regular basis; special giving for designated
purposes or needs, such as scholarship,
library acquisitions, cirriculum develop
ment, equipment, and capital giving usually
for new facilities, campus improvement,
endowment, which is usually obtained in a
concentrated one, three or five year cam
paign period.
Although Bartley has only been here one
month, she plans to make WSSU a
' household word and in higher education ex
cellence. Her anticipation is to cultivate
donors that would want to give, so we can
grow “ivy” of our own and compete with
Ivy league schools. Therefore, putting
ourselves in a posture to raise friends
before funds. Bartley plans to make
changes as she states that change is the
basic ingredient for growth, vitality,
regeneration and rejuvination. She adds we
must raise funds to keep up with the times
by implanting creative methods to raise
funds.
In general Bartley's outlook of the univer
sity as a whole is excellent. She feels very
g()(xl about it and says "we're not on a sink
ing ship, but a sailing yacht and hopes that
within a short time we will come to port and
become one of the most sought out univer
sities, by funding agencies
Bartley in the future would like to see in
ternships available to students in the
Development Office where students can
learn first hand the inner workings of a
Development Office.
