About Me

Denis Brosnan is the Associate Vice President for Philanthropic Giving at Arcadia University. In this role Denis leads the Division of University Advancement's focus on major gifts, planned giving, and corporate and foundation relations.

Denis began his career at Changing Our World, Inc., where he helped to run the capital campaigns for five Catholic parishes under the auspices of the Archdiocese of New York’s Bicentennial Capital Campaign.  Honing his craft at four universities – Marymount, Arizona State, George Mason, and Seton Hall – Denis has successfully and independently managed the cultivation strategies for prospective donors and raised annual and major gifts. Expanding his professional worldview, Denis moved onto roles outside of higher education before continuing his career at a liberal arts institution.
