Vice President for Development
Ingeborg T. Reichenbach, STAATSEXAMEN
Inge T. Reichenbach, Vice President for Development, is currently leading the University’s five-year, $3.5 billion “Yale Tomorrow Campaign,” which is scheduled to end June 30, 2011. “Yale Tomorrow” is a comprehensive campaign, covering Yale College as well as all schools and units of the University. Among its major goals are the expansion of Yale College through the addition of two new residential colleges and the academic development of Yale’s West Campus as a major center of Yale’s increased focus on the sciences.
Prior to coming to Yale, Ms. Reichenbach served as Cornell University’s Vice President of Alumni Affairs and Development from 1995 to 2005, leading the school to record giving levels. She joined Cornell’s Office of Public Affairs in 1979 and served in a variety of positions during her tenure at the university. From 1988 to 1995 she was director of Cornell’s University Development Office. During these years, she directed Cornell’s five-year capital campaign, which raised $1.5 billion, at the time the largest amount ever raised by any campaign.
In addition to her work at Cornell, she held the positions of Director of Corporate Giving at Colonial Williamsburg and Director of Development at Wesleyan University.
Ms. Reichenbach has presented widely on topics related to fund raising. Most recently, she was a speaker in November 2008 at a conference on endowment funds hosted by the French Secretary of Finance, Christine Lagarde, and serves on her Comité Stratégique des Fonds de Dotation. A native of Germany, she studied classical and romance philology at the University of Heidelberg, completing her education with the Staatsexamen.
