Dear Colleagues,
It is with mixed emotions that I share the news of Patrick Kaiser’s retirement at the end of this calendar year.
Patrick has been a valued contributor to Development since he returned home to Notre Dame in 2012. He has worked in Annual Giving, Major Gifts and most recently as a part of our East Region as a Director of Development. Along the way, he has shared his deep knowledge of the sales process as it relates to our work. Patrick has “carried a bag” for over 40 years, and it is now time for this veteran to pursue other interests.
Please join me in wishing Patrick all the best in this next chapter. While we will miss him on a daily basis – his clever puns, his always-sharpened pencil, his Notre Dame stories – Patrick is staying local so we’ll see him around town. Thank you, Patrick, for your service to Our Lady’s University!
In Notre Dame,
Anne Griffith
Dear Colleagues,
Please note the following changes within the Prospect Management team:
During his three years working in Development, Mark has shown a stellar work ethic, desire for continuous improvement, and commitment to his fellow colleagues. He attacks problems with an analytical mindset and strategic focus. I look forward to working with Mark in elevating the strategic impact of Prospect Management and Strategic Analytics through this new role. Please join me in congratulating him as he embarks on the next phase of his career in serving our Lady’s mission.
Please look for the Prospect Management Consultant position to be posted in the near future. Please let Cindy or Ann know if you or someone you know is interested in the position. Please note, Gerek Meinhardt will serve as the interim Prospect Management liaison to the West Region and Global Advancement until Kierstin’s replacement is identified.
All my best,
Brad

Dear University Relations colleagues,
Advent can be a challenging season for many of us with all of the demands on our time. Again this year, the Notre Dame Alumni Association is reaching out to the entire Notre Dame family to provide a resource to quiet our hearts and still our minds as we prepare the way for the Lord on Christmas.
Each day throughout the season, we will release a new Advent video featuring a short reflection from a chapel on campus. Our alumni and friends will be greeted by a different Notre Dame student, who will introduce a verse from Scripture or an Advent theme to help us center our thoughts. We will then have a few quiet moments for our own reflection and prayer in these sacred spaces.
There are several ways for you and our alumni and friends to receive the daily reflection:
Subscribe to FaithND’s Daily Gospel Reflection email
Get a daily reminder by texting Advent to 51555
Visit the website chapelsof.nd.edu, which will be updated daily
How can you help?
Re-share our social media launch messages (now through early next week) so we reach as many members of the ND family as possible
Share on your social channels daily when a hall or student narrator of interest to you is profiled
If you are over by the Eck Visitors Center before Christmas, please stop by our offices after Dec. 6 and pick up an 18 x 28 inch, limited-edition Chapels of Notre Dame poster. The poster design includes photo tiles representing each of the residence hall chapels on the Notre Dame campus, plus the Log Chapel and the Lady Chapel in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
