She brings a wealth of knowledge about greater Cleveland and fantastic experiences with higher ed and other non-profit organizations. She will help us expand both current and new relationships with businesses, foundations, and individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of independent college students through scholarship fundraising and career connections.”
Bartter’s most recent advancement position was with Miami University as the Director of Regional Development Northeast Ohio. She has worked for three additional universities in Ohio including OFIC member-campus John Carroll University, as well as the Cleveland Institute of Art, and Case Western Reserve University.
“I am enthusiastic about joining OFIC and expanding our outreach and support in Northeast and Southeast Ohio,” said Bartter. “I value the importance of higher education and appreciate the scholarship support OFIC donors make available to assist Ohio students with fulfilling their dream of a college education.”
Northeast and Southeast Ohio are ripe for the corporate and foundation campus connections Bartter will strengthen and forge. Team NEO, a JobsOhio regional partner, recently stated that Northeast Ohio contains, “Well over 800 business headquarters, a workforce of 2 million, and top rankings for corporate investment, business climate, and logistics.”
OFIC connects students across 33 member campuses with Ohio’s top corporations and foundations to make the dream of completing their bachelor’s degree a reality through scholarships, internships, and career opportunities. Learn more at ofic.org.
