Erin Sargeant Greenwood heading to St. Mary’s University

Erin Sargeant Greenwood, the University’s Interim Vice-President, Advancement, will be joining St. Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia as its Vice-President, Advancement, in the New Year.

Erin joined the University of Waterloo in 2008, first as Associate Vice-President, Annual and Planned Giving, and, since May 2015, as Interim Vice-President, Advancement. During her time at Waterloo, the Office of Advancement successfully concluded Campaign Waterloo and led the way in building a model of shared partnership, innovative programs and success in Advancement that is the envy of universities across the country.

“Erin’s steady hand and leadership as Vice-President, Advancement, has been exemplary in advancing the University’s goals through strategic fundraising and alumni relations programs, locally, nationally and internationally, raising more than $50 million each year for the University,” wrote Feridun Hamdullahpur, University President and Vice Chancellor. “Erin leaves a team that is united in its mission to inspire and engage people in philanthropy to advance the University of Waterloo in becoming one of the most innovative universities in the world.”

Erin will be engaged at the University of Waterloo through January 2017 to support incoming Vice-President, Advancement, Joanne Shoveller. Erin starts her new role at Saint Mary’s on February 1, 2017.
