Libby Villavicencio, former Executive Director of the Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC) Center for Development, has joined Hocking College as the new Executive Director of the Hocking College Foundation.
Villavicencio has extensive experience working with community colleges in the development role through her position at the OACC, and has worked in development with nonprofit organizations since 1999. She has previously served as Vice President of Advancement for Lifecare Alliance and Vice President and Director of Foundation Programs for The Rensselaerville Institute, both in Columbus. Villavicencio has also worked with the Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing, Catholic Social Services, United Way, National Church Residences and Volunteers of America.
“I am sincerely delighted to introduce Libby as our new Foundation Director. She brings a wealth of professional experience and knowledge to the position, and appreciates the unique qualities of southeastern Ohio that make this area such a great place to live, learn and work,” Dr. Ron Erickson, Hocking College President, said.
The Hocking College Foundation is the primary fundraising arm of the institution, and facilitates the efforts of the Alumni Association. The executive director provides leadership and vision in the development and implementation of a comprehensive strategic fundraising program, which includes direct oversight of all annual, major, planned and special campaign projects.
“Libby comes to the Hocking College Foundation with a successful and experienced background in fundraising and senior foundation leadership. She will provide the right leadership and wise counsel necessary to enable Hocking College and the Hocking College Foundation leadership teams to continue to meet their fundamental objective of helping students fulfill their dreams of earning a quality, affordable education at Hocking College," Don Wood, Hocking College Foundation President, said.
Villavicencio looks forward to working with the Foundation members and is excited about their commitment to Hocking College, the students and alumni.
“My vision is for anyone, regardless of their financial situation, who wants to attend Hocking College, whether to advance their career, get a degree or transfer to a four-year institution to obtain a bachelor’s degree, to be able to do so without accruing major debt. They can then stay in the community, prosper, and be meaningfully engaged,” Villavicencio commented.
Villavicencio has a bachelor’s degree from Ohio University, a master’s degree in Human Services Management from Franklin University and a certificate of completion in Columbia University’s Executive School of Business, Institute of Nonprofit Management.
