Biographical

The Biographical unit of Advancement Services supports the University and Alumni Association by facilitating and receiving gifts and the recording and maintenance of vital records of McMaster alumni, parents, donors, and friends of the McMaster community.

The Biographical area services each of the five departments of University Advancement as well as the President's office. We are the primary unit responsible for the maintenance of the Advance database that allows the generation of reports, mailings, donation receipting and the entry of prospect notes or tracking.
