Patrick J. Gallivan, a resident of South Burlington, has been named Vice President for Institutional Advancement for Saint Michael's College. In consultation with the college's board of trustees and the Saint Michael's community, President John J. Neuhauser named Patrick Gallivan to the vice president's position.
"Patrick has brought enthusiasm, energy and good humor" to his years of work at Saint Michael's, President Neuhauser said. A tireless worker for the college and the wider community, "Patrick never shies away from any task and is always willing to serve as the gracious moderator of choice for any event," the President added. "He will now take on a new role made all the more challenging by these difficult times," President Neuhauser said, adding, "I look forward to working very closely with Patrick in the years ahead."
Patrick Gallivan has been serving as interim VP for Institutional Advancement for several months, while also serving as director for alumni and parent relations, a position he has held since 1998.
"I am inspired by the loyalty of our alumni, parents and friends, whose time, treasure and talent continue to make the current student experience a better one at Saint Michael's," Gallivan said, on accepting the position of Vice President. "And I am humbled by the opportunity to join President Neuhauser and the college's exceptional faculty and staff to serve Saint Michael's College in this important way," he added.

He will work closely with the Saint Michael's family of alumni, parents and friends to increase support for the college. Mr. Gallivan will also serve as a member of the president's cabinet.
