The university's Office of Strategic Campus Partnerships has introduced a new role that will support the department's work to align corporate partnerships with campus priorities and provide resources that advance the U of A's mission.
Alex Pacheco serves as the director of Campus Partnership Sales with Integrity 9, working closely with university leadership and the campus community to develop and manage partnerships that enhance the university experience for students, faculty, staff and visitors. Integrity 9 collaborates with Strategic Campus Partnerships staff to provide strategic and operational support.
In his role, Pacheco will focus on building thoughtful, long-term partnerships that provide meaningful value across campus. He brings experience in corporate partnership development across several collegiate athletics programs, including Saint Louis University, the University of Missouri, Southern Illinois University and Missouri State University.
"I'm proud to be part of the culture, community and traditions that make the University of Arkansas such a special place," Pacheco said. "I look forward to working alongside our campus leaders and stakeholders to make a positive impact on our community and strengthen the campus experience."
Pacheco and the Strategic Campus Partnerships team will soon begin connecting with campus leaders and departments to better understand priorities, identify opportunities for collaboration and build a campus partnership program that reflects the university's mission and values. They will be joined by the Integrity 9 leadership team, including chief revenue officer David Hayob and account director Ashli Brummel, who bring extensive experience with campus partnership programs such as the Jayhawk Community Partners program at the University of Kansas.
