The University of Saskatchewan welcomes the arrival today of Heather
Magotiaux as Executive Director and Chief Advancement Officer of University

Magotiaux returns to the U of S after spending two years as Vice-President
of Advancement at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia. Prior to
moving to the east coast, Magotiaux was Director of Communications at the U
of S.
While at St.FX, she was responsible for leading a fully integrated
advancement department, including development, alumni affairs,
communications and data management.
During her tenure, St.FX was ranked first in Alumni Support and fifth in
Reputation by Maclean's magazine, two criteria that helped to propel St.FX

Vice-President, Magotiaux led the largest capital campaign in St.FX's
history, which raised over $35 million for the university. She was also
Chair of the university's 150th anniversary celebrations.
University President Peter MacKinnon said: "As the U of S prepares to embark
on a major capital campaign to support its strategic directions and raise
its public profile, Magotiaux's expertise and accomplishments will ensure
that we have the leadership and support of a world-class university
advancement team."
