Brock University announced today that its new Executive Director of Development and Alumni Relations will be Pamela Shanks, a fundraising professional who has worked for more than 20 years with some of Canada’s leading educational institutions.

Pamela Shanks

Shanks is a former executive director of development at Ryerson University. She has also served as executive director of development and alumni relations at York University’s Schulich School of Business, and director of fund development at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary.

She is currently at Holy Trinity School, an independent K-12 school in Richmond Hill, where she has been executive director of advancement since 2012.

Shanks begins her duties at Brock on Feb 23, and will be responsible for transitioning the University from the most successful capital campaign in its history, to sustained ongoing giving and an ever-stronger relationship with our growing number of alumni.

“We are very pleased to have someone with Pam’s record and experience,” said Brock President Jack Lightstone. “We look forward to continued growth in the relationship between Brock and our stakeholders and supporters, including nearly 90,000 alumni.”
