Shane Nichols
Development, communications, and design in Evanston, Illinois
HELLO
I am currently in my 20th year as an employee of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, now serving as Assistant Vice President for Development. While much has changed during that time (including my job title and responsibilities) my commitment for preparing the next generation of spiritually adventurous, intellectually daring, and deeply faithful leaders for the Church, the academy, and our world has remained steadfast.
As a development professional I am here to assist you in creating a lasting legacy that reflects your values. Please contact me whenever you have questions or would like more information on the numerous ways you can make a difference. To contact me, go to Garrett.edu/Shane.
