Seth Brown, Director of Advancement & Alumni Relations

Together with Interim President Johnson ’91, Brown has had many discussions on generating a greater link between our current students and their future relationship with the Alumni Association and the Academy. Brown’s optimism, outlook at aptitude on engagement, and creating synergies within a given community will serve MMA and our alumni.

Brown has spent his professional career developing people with a demonstrated history of impacting organizational growth. Most recently, in his capacity as Major Gifts Officer he has supported the stewardship and development of gifts from individuals and corporations to the Academy. Brown has been instrumental in rethinking how our office engages with alumni and students alike. He served as an Annual Fund Ambassador, Adjunct Faculty in the IBL program, the women’s soccer coach for seven seasons, and a member of the men’s soccer team. Additionally, Brown is the parent of a 3rd year MMA student studying IBL and member of the women’s soccer team.
Tim Leach, who graciously stepped in as acting Director of Alumni Relations at our request, will transition to an advisory role within the Advancement Office where we will continue to look to him for his vast and decades long industry relationships. We thank him for his support and leadership during this time of transition.
We are delighted to welcome Brown to this new role.
