Commonfund has been a partner and supporter of CASE for the past several decades. Our aligned missions of serving educational institutions and enhancing resources for ongoing financial success are often advanced through support of professional development. As a result, in 2001 we joined together to create the ‘CASE Commonfund College and University Foundation Award.’ The Award recognizes individuals who’ve made valuable contributions to the college and university field through best practices, distinguished service and/or volunteer leadership. It is presented each year at the annual CASE Conference for College and University Foundations.
The Recipient of the CASE Commonfund College and University Award for 2021 is Vita Pickrum, President, Delaware State University Foundation, and Vice President for Institutional Advancement at Delaware State University.
