Noah D. Drezner is Associate Professor of Higher Education in the Department of Organization and Leadership, at Teachers College, Columbia University.

"Drezner and Huehls’s book is a welcome contribution to the field of higher education philanthropy. It provides a much-needed theoretical foundation to the topic yet also makes a practical contribution with the case studies and questions that conclude each chapter. I am recommending this book to all of my students and colleagues in institutional advancement. I hope that doctoral students of fundraising especially take note: Don’t write another word of your dissertation before reading this book."
