Brian Breittholz was named Florida International University’s new associate vice president for alumni relations and chief alumni officer. Breittholz, an accomplished higher education leader with a wealth of experience in alumni relations, development, student affairs and communications, joins FIU after serving seven years as Cleveland State University’s (CSU) assistant vice president for alumni affairs and executive director of the university’s alumni association.
During his tenure at CSU, Breittholz dramatically increased the volume and variety of activities to engage the school’s 130,000 alumni, ranging from programming and events, chapter activities, and volunteer engagement to alumni awards, member benefits, and communications and outreach.
“We are very excited to welcome Brian to the FIU Alumni family,” said two-time alumnus and president of the FIU Alumni Association Michael Hernandez. “I look forward to working with him and drawing from his extensive professional experience as we endeavor to better serve the 260,0000-strong Panther alumni community and provide new, innovative, engaging and exciting programming and content to our alumni.”
“To say I’m excited to join the FIU community is an understatement,” Breittholz said. “I’m so impressed with our accomplishments, and believe we have unlimited opportunities to leverage the pride and the passion of our alumni to further advance FIU for generations to come.”
