UM Foundation Names Shane Giese New President And CEO

The University of Montana Foundation http://www.supportum.org/ has selected Shane Giese as its next president and CEO. Giese’s career includes 27 years in higher education fundraising. He comes to UM from Kansas State University, where he served as senior vice president for development.

"We are pleased and excited that Shane will be joining us as leader of our Foundation," said Mike McDonough, chair of the UM Foundation board of trustees. "His senior development leadership experience at multiple institutions and his success with educational institution campaigns will enable our Foundation to be a major contributor to the success of The University of Montana."

The move to Montana will be a return to the Northwest for Giese and his wife, Joan. He was associate vice president for campaign initiatives and associate vice president for development for the University of Oregon from 2006 to 2011. As associate vice president for development, Giese helped the university vastly exceed a campaign goal of $600 million, ending the campaign with $853 million raised.
