Anne Gannaway leads the university's advancement and development activities, including capital campaigns, annual fund, major gifts, planned estate giving, and alumni relations.
Gannaway began her career at SAU in 2012 serving Alumni and Advancement as the executive director and overseeing the St. Çï¿ûÊÓƵ Wine Festival. Long before that, however, Gannaway was already very familiar with the Ambrosian way: her father, Edward Henkhaus, was the university's vice president for finance for many years. Gannaway earned her undergraduate degree from the University of St. Thomas and a Master of Arts in higher education administration from the University of Missouri-Columbia. She worked at both of those institutions, as well as the University of Iowa. Gannaway is married to Ethan Gannaway who teaches history at SAU and serves as co-director of the Academy for the Study of Saint Ambrose of Milan. They have three sons.
