Please join me in welcoming Lavarr Barnett to the University Relations team as a new Director of Development in the West region.  Lavarr will begin  on June 19th and will be serving alumni, parents and friends in North Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, California.

Lavarr is a recent graduate of Notre Dame Law School, and also holds a Bachelor’s of Arts in Business from Holy Cross College at Notre Dame. Prior to earning his law degree from Notre Dame, Lavarr worked at Teachers Credit Union in their Anti-Money Laundering and Compliance Department, as well as with the credit union’s General Counsel. He and his wife, Kelaine, a 2014 graduate of Saint Mary’s College, have two boys: Jayden (6) and Jackson (2).

I am excited to have Lavarr join the University Relations team.
