Following a national search, Cabrini College appointed Sharon Kerrigan Loman as Vice President for Institutional Advancement. Loman brings to Cabrini 20 years of fundraising and development experience, most recently as Vice President of Development and Alumni Affairs at St. Francis College in Brooklyn, N.Y.
In three years at St. Francis, Loman increased private support by an average of 22 percent annually. Under her leadership, the number of endowed scholarships grew by more than 13 percent, and the College's Annual Gala Dinner last year raised a record $2 million.
Prior to her position at St. Francis, Loman was Director of Development at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y., where she worked on a $75 million campaign. Loman also held director-level positions in advancement at Columbia University Graduate School of Business and the Archdiocese of New York. From 2000-03, she served in Peru as a lay missionary with the Maryknoll Mission Association to conceive and implement medical and social programs for indigenous people of the Andes.
"We are excited to have Sharon lead the College's Office of Institutional Advancement," said Dr. Marie Angelella George, president of Cabrini College. "Her experience in development, higher education and social justice is an extraordinary asset to Cabrini, and aligns with our mission as a college."
Cabrini's Office of Institutional Advancement includes Alumni Development, Alumni Programs, Campaign Management, Donor Relations, Stewardship, and Corporate, Foundation and Government Relations.
Loman earned a master of business administration degree at Columbia University Graduate School of Business, a bachelor of arts degree in psychology and criminal justice at Iona College, and studied abroad at Ealing College in the United Kingdom. She resides in Villanova with her husband, Lars.
