Meet Jen Tuberosa

In September, Jennifer (Jen) Tuberosa joined the Rosemont College community as Vice President for Institutional Advancement. In this role, she manages the Office of Institutional Advancement, a reimagined version of what was known as College Relations, that will focus on development, alumni engagement, stewardship, and assistance with grants.

A strategic advancement, fundraising, and alumni relations professional, Tuberosa is known for launching programs that directly result in engaged, supportive alumni who become loyal annual donors. She brings more than 25 years of experience in the communications and fundraising fields to Rosemont and joined the College at an exciting time at the launch of the Centennial year.

As the head of Institutional Advancement, Tuberosa leads all engagement with the College's internal and external constituents: overseeing development, alumni relations, non-credit programs, community relations, government relations, and all College-wide special events. She also serves as liaison to the Development Committee of the Board of Trustees.

In addition, Tuberosa will oversee the campaign vision setting, planning, and leadership as the College embarks on its next fundraising campaign which will begin during the 2022-2023 academic year.

Tuberosa is a visionary leader who leverages new programs and services to build relationships, engage constituents, rally support, and raise funds, including non-traditional revenue resources, such as corporate partnerships and naming rights. As a creative marketer with extensive experience in developing Catholic leadership programs, student ambassador programs, social media fundraising tactics, and comprehensive event plans, she will bring innovative ideas to Rosemont’s advancement initiatives.

Tuberosa comes to Rosemont from Cardinal O’Hara High School in Springfield, PA, where she was Vice President of Advancement since 2016. She also held the role of Director of Institutional Advancement from 20152016. Prior to Cardinal O’Hara, she was Director of Advancement at St. Pius X in Broomall from 2006-2015. She also served as a Presenter and Director of Schools at the Healey Education Foundation in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.

“I am looking forward to Jen’s contributions to Rosemont, particularly as she plays an instrumental role in stewarding and cultivating the College’s relationships with donors,” said President Jayson Boyers. “With a strong background at educational institutions, Jen shares my enthusiasm for Rosemont’s mission, values, and goals for the College. She will work collaboratively with me and the senior leadership team as we continue to set an ambitious, inclusive path forward for Rosemont’s next 100 years.”

Let’s get to know more about Jen and what brought her to Rosemont.

What excites you about Rosemont College?

Through the years, all the interactions I have had with members of the Rosemont community made it clear that Rosemont is the place to be! My meetings with the search committee and students and staff during the interview process reaffirmed this. The dedication of faculty, staff, and students, the commitment to education and innovation, and the strong sense of faith and joy that fills the campus inspire me to want to be part of Rosemont’s next 100 years. My sister is an alumna, and because Rosemont holds a special place in her heart, it holds a special place in mine, too! A year from now, what do you want to say you have accomplished at Rosemont? What about three years from now? As the Vice President for Advancement, in the near future I hope to have helped position Rosemont to continue its tradition of academic excellence for the next 100 years. I intend to accomplish this by strengthening relationships with Rosemont’s supportive community of alumni, students, parents, friends, and faculty/staff, as well as through strategic planning while finding joy at every turn. I like to celebrate the small milestones and the big achievements. There is nothing better than being part of something bigger than us—something that lets us make a difference and leave an impact. What book are you currently reading?

I am always reading a few books at a time. I like to reread some old favorites while picking out some new titles. I especially enjoy nonfiction and consider myself a lifelong learner. Currently, I am reading Grit by Angela Duckworth, Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, and my all-time favorite, Creativity, Inc. by Pixar founder Ed Catmull. Where can we find you when you're not at work?

With four children, if I am not cheering on my son at soccer or tennis, you may find me supporting my daughters in their theater pursuits. Nothing fills my heart with more pride than watching my children grow into amazing young adults with focus, passions, and goals! What is your favorite hobby?

I am a theater aficionado! I enjoy reading and analyzing scripts as well as attending local theater performances. I have been part of the St. Pius X (Broomall, PA) theater program since its inception ten years ago and have helped direct and produce their musicals.

My Future is Bright

"Rosemont has provided me with so many amazing opportunities. I am finishing my undergraduate degree while taking graduate courses at the same time through the combined BA and MA in Psychology/Counseling Program. I hope to open a private practice or lead a community mental health center in the future. While at Rosemont, I have been an active member of the community as President of the SGA, Student Ambassador, Rosemont Activities Council member, and Raven Peer Leader. Rosemont is everything I hoped for and more!"
