Agnes Scott Welcomes Cheryl Webster as Vice President for College Advancement

Cheryl Webster, Agnes Scott’s new vice president for college advancement, brings a wealth of success and experience from her most recent post at Salem State University in Salem, Massachusetts. As vice president of advancement and executive director of the Salem State University Alumni Association and Foundation, Inc., Webster raised the most funding for any Massachusetts state university and brought in the three largest gifts in state university history. She also doubled the school’s endowment.

The strength of those accomplishments bodes well for Agnes Scott, where Webster is now responsible for external relations, fundraising, partnership development, alumnae relations, communications and marketing.

“Cheryl has not only the skills and experience, but also the strong sense of mission necessary to succeed in her new role,” says Leocadia I. Zak, president of Agnes Scott. “Her ability to connect with students, faculty, alumnae and donors reflects her innate passion for this work. She has proven herself as a committed community partner and a trusted advisor, and we are thrilled to have her on the team.”

Webster holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Oswego State University. Prior to joining Salem State, she directed leadership giving, annual giving, pre-campaign assessment planning and advancement services for Emerson College in Boston. She has served on the boards of the Lynn Museum and Arts Center and St. Jean’s Credit Union, both based in Lynn, Massachusetts.

“Joining the Agnes Scott community has been an absolute pleasure,” Webster says. “Everyone I have met so far is all-in on helping to advance Agnes Scott’s mission, and I am honored to be a part of this incredible community.”
