Colleagues,

It is with mixed emotions that I share the news that Lisa Heming has accepted a new position as the Director of Student Services for Graduate Business Programs in the Mendoza College of Business.  The business school team sought out Lisa for this post which provides her with student and faculty interaction which she very much enjoys.

This new role blends Lisa’s Alumni Association and Executive MBA experiences and taps her skill set.  She will be responsible for academic advising, organizing and implementing course registration, planning and scheduling curriculum, and organizing and delivering student orientations and diploma ceremonies. These duties support 500 students and span 4 business graduate business programs including the 1-year and 2-year MBA programs, Master in Accountancy and the Master of Science in Management.

Lisa joined  the NDAA team in January 2012 and in the last 2 ½ years, Lisa:

• Launched the ND Conversations online program
• Grew the Hesburgh Lecture Series by 25%
• Initiated the virtual Hesburgh Lecture Series crossing multiple clubs and time zones
• Launched the On the Sidelines Football Fridays Lecture Series
• Supported the NDAA team through the ND Voice and team building committees

Beyond her professional contributions, Lisa provides an upbeat, can-do attitude and energy.

We are still working through the details of the timing of this change – especially with the holiday season approaching.  I will be working with HR on this position.

For now, please join me in congratulating Lisa on her new opportunity.

Thank you.

Sharon E. Keane, Director of Professional and Academic Programs

Tickets are $6 per person (adult or child) for pre-sale or $10 at the door. Feel great about breakfast with Santa: all proceeds go to help the Food Bank of Northern Indiana. Great meal. Great cause. Great fun.

Special Events & Stewardship is thrilled to share that more than 3,800 personalized letters and endowment reports were mailed on Friday, October 31st, to more than 2,700 University benefactors. Principal donors’ packages also included special narrative updates, in accordance with their personalized stewardship plans, a letter from John Affleck-Graves for those with bequests or other estate commitments, and updates on current capital projects when appropriate. This marks both the earliest these report packages have been sent and the largest quantity ever prepared!

All FY14 endowment reports have been added to Advance and are accessible via the “Endowment Reports” link on the allocation window. Please let me know if you have any difficulty accessing any particular report. You’ll also note that the FY13 reports remain for reference. Going forward, we will maintain a five-year history of reports at this location. Hard copies of capital project updates will be provided to primary solicitors later this week, and all special updates for principal benefactors have been scanned and will be added as contact reports in Advance as quickly as possible.

Special thanks as well to Larry Helmsing, Donna Adams, Jay Rizzi, and Carleen Quinlan for their partnership and efforts in making this feat possible!

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or e-mail.

Thank you,

Mary Fisher
