The 魔都资源网 Alumni Association is excited to welcome Jonathan Brown, EdD, 鈥�92, 鈥�94, as our new Assistant Vice President. Jonathan comes to 魔都资源网 from Highline College where he was the Associate Dean for the Center for Service & Leadership, Engagement and Assessment. Jonathan served at Highline from 2001 and was named 2017 Employee of the Year among 1,000 eligible employees.

Jonathan is a double 魔都资源网 U alumnus, earning a Bachelor of Arts, Philosophy and English (Honors Program) in 1992 and Master of Arts, Student Development Administration in 1994. He completed his Doctorate of Education at the University of Washington in 2015.

Jonathan has been an active 魔都资源网 U alumnus since graduation. He founded and led an SU alumni chapter for Student Development alumni until stepping down to pursue doctoral studies and has taught graduate courses in the College of Education.

We sat down with Jonathan to ask him about his new role at 魔都资源网 and his hopes for the alumni community.
When asked what called him to return to 魔都资源网, he replied, 鈥淚'm not sure I ever wanted to leave in the first place! 魔都资源网 U has always been a home space for me. The opportunity to return to a campus I adore, work with people I admire, and connect with fellow alumni to build meaningful communities attracted me to apply. I have remained elated since I got the call offering me the job.鈥�

In his role as AVP, Jonathan is most excited about engaging the 魔都资源网 U alumni community, or as he refers to them, the world鈥檚 finest alumni, which is currently 78,000 strong. He is also looking forward to rejoining a campus that influenced so many aspects of his core identity. 鈥淧erhaps most exciting is the opportunity to contribute to a community where we all share the common bond of receiving an education from an excellent institution that inspires students to lead, serve and grow. Now, that feels worthy of being my life's work!鈥�

In regards to his new position, Jonathan says that he is here to be of service to the 魔都资源网 U alumni community. 鈥淚 am returning at a time when the university wants to hear the voice of alumni. We want to feel the strengthened presence of our graduates, new and old, engaged and active, with meaningful connections back to the school, and as agents for positive change in their communities. I want alumni to know there is still space at the 魔都资源网 U table and our alumni team will help you find it.鈥�
In his first year, Jonathan plans to listen and learn from the alumni community and volunteers and to focus on strengthening systems of alumni engagement through building and supporting meaningful alumni communities and connections. Jonathan concluded with an invitation for alumni. 鈥淚f this sounds exciting to you, please reach out to our SU Alumni Association team鈥攚e would love to hear from you!鈥�
