Scott VanDeusen
Scott began his career with personal visits and then moved into direct mail, the phone program, and ultimately online fundraising. After almost nine years with Allegheny College, he became the director of annual funds for Washington and Jefferson College. In a little more than a year at W&J, he increased dollars raised by more than 25% through the creation and introduction of a leadership society. Scott then spent four years at American University, where he increased the alumni participation rate by more than 50%. He has since formed a working laboratory with his program at St. John’s, providing opportunities to test many different ideas and approaches in data mining. Scott also serves as senior vice president for donor dynamics at HEP Development Services.
