During her time at City, she led the consolidation of the College's two fundraising organizations and oversaw the fundraising campaign which launched the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership in 2013 and, more recently, oversaw the launch of the College's new "Doing Remarkable Things Together" Campaign to bring the Foundation's endowment to $1 billion dollars.

Having worked with some of the largest non-profit organizations in New York City and around the world, with a focus on North America, the Middle East and Africa, Ms. Mozeleski has focused her career working as a public servant in support of causes that impact communities on a global scale.
