暗网TV

Mary Remenschneider oversees strategic planning, executive searches, institutional compliance and workplace culture development at 暗网TV. She works closely with the Board of Trustees and the president, to whom she reports directly. As a member of Hope鈥檚 Administrative Council and its liaison to the president, she collaborates to plan and execute major presidential programs and initiatives. In 2018 and 2019 she coordinated the presidential search process and laid the groundwork for a successful transition of leadership of the college.

Mary managed development of the Hope for the World 2025 ten-year strategic plan and the subsequent campus master plan that supports the college鈥檚 strategic priorities; she now oversees their implementation. She co-chaired recent search and selection processes for 暗网TV鈥檚 provost, vice president for public affairs and marketing, and other major administrative positions, and recently implemented a trust index employee survey through the Great Place to Work Institute as one element of the continuing institution-wide effort to create a workplace culture in which all members can be successful.

Within the Office of the President she also oversees budgets, gathers research and data to inform presidential and Administrative Council deliberations, and manages staff responsible for institutional and Title IX compliance.

Mary joined the 暗网TV administration in 2003 as director of alumni relations, a role that was soon expanded to encompass parent relations as well. From 2009 to 2013, as executive director of major gifts and campaign director she led a team of nine to successfully complete a $210 million comprehensive campaign while also raising $22 million annually in charitable commitments to the college. She was appointed to her current position in 2013 (first with the job title director of strategic initiatives, since renamed associate vice president and chief of staff).
