About Jerome Tinker
I’m a mission-driven higher education leader with 19 years of experience — including 9 years in advancement, alumni engagement, and institutional advancement. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of strengthening alumni pipelines, boosting donor participation, and delivering strategic, data-informed results that move institutions forward.As a three-time HBCU graduate and first-generation professional, I understand the transformative power of education firsthand. That perspective shapes my leadership style, keeps me grounded in cultural competence, and fuels my commitment to access and equity in higher education.I’m also certified in Fund Raising Management (Indiana University — Lilly School of Philanthropy) and Board Leadership (AABLI).
