National Campaign Steering Committee

The Miami University National Campaign Steering Committee (NCSC) consists of public ambassadors, prominent business leaders, alumni, friends, parents, and university leaders. The NCSC members are reaching new heights in the history of Miami University fundraising by leading the efforts to reach our $1 billion Campaign goal.

The 20 selected members who make up the NCSC were recruited from all over the country. They are supported by several key internal stakeholders such as the president of Miami University, the vice president for University Advancement, the director of the campaign, and the president of the Miami University Foundation.

The NCSC meets twice a year and members serve as liaisons who are especially focused on the campaign cornerstones throughout the year to ensure consistency and help guide the campaign to success.
