“We are very excited to have Jeff Ives joining the team,” said Clarkson University President Marc P. Christensen, Ph.D., P.E. “Colleges and universities are facing financial challenges all across the nation. We are so pleased to have someone as capable as Jeff here to help lead Clarkson through these times.”

Ives brings with him more than 10 years of experience as the Assistant Vice President of Finance at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. During his tenure at Dartmouth, Ives led the institution's annual budget, quarterly projection, and long-range planning processes, working closely with academic and administrative colleagues to assess strategic initiatives leading into a fundraising campaign.  He implemented annual budget reallocations to encourage investment in new initiatives and eliminate lower priority spend. 

"It is an honor to have the opportunity to lead the Finance team at Clarkson University,” Ives said. “I look forward to collaborating with faculty and staff at Clarkson to strengthen the institution's financial position in support of its goals." 

Prior to his position at Dartmouth, Ives served as the Budget Director at McGill University in Montreal for five years. 

Ives’ corporate finance experience includes several roles at a large pharmaceutical company in New York City and Princeton, NJ, a risk management associate position at an insurance company based in Bermuda, and a loan officer position for a commercial bank in Philadelphia. He received his MBA from Duke University and his undergraduate degree in economics from Haverford College. 

Ives has also been involved in several boards and advisory committees in the community, including serving on the board for The Dartmouth, an independent, student-run college newspaper, the Hanover, NH Town Finance Committee, and the board for his church.
