Bio: 

Salt Lake City native Jen Voros is the Director of Philanthropy. In her role, she is responsible for leading the fundraising and community-building efforts at The McGillis School. She joined the Philanthropy team from the Waterford School where she was the Director of the Waterford Fund and Alumni Relations. Prior to her work at Waterford, she served as Associate Director of Development at Colorado Academy in Denver.

 

Jen has over fifteen years of experience in alumni relations, donor relations, stewardship, major gift, and annual giving in both independent schools and higher education. Jen has a BA in Theatre History and Communications from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, and a Masters in Nonprofit Management from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

 

When she isn’t working to support our McGillis School Magpies, Jen can be found hiking in Capitol Reef National Park, snorkeling in the reefs off the Hawaiian Islands, walking her Goldendoodle, Carl, or watching baseball. She and her husband, Jeremy, are the proud parents of three McGillis Magpies.
