Update from ACE/IEI

Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) founder Fr. Tim Scully, C.S.C., has announced that he will step down as director of the Institute for Educational Initiatives (IEI) and become its director emeritus beginning in January. He will continue to serve the University as a professor of political science, faculty fellow of the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, and IEI faculty fellow.
In a message sent to all friends of ACE, Fr. Scully shared, “Over the course of the past several sabbatical months I have had the opportunity to reflect deeply and gratefully on the endless blessings of my nearly forty years of priesthood in Holy Cross, as well as to discern God’s plan for my own vocation as a Holy Cross priest and the future mission of ACE and the IEI. In this spirit of prayerful discernment, I have decided that, after more than twenty-five years of sharing any and all the gifts that I have been given by God to support our mission, the time is propitious for a transition in leadership. I am absolutely confident that the team with which we have been blessed in both ACE and the Institute possesses the vision and gifts in abundance to lead us with grace and wisdom into the coming decades.
John Staud (jstaud@nd.edu) and Theo Helm (thelm1@nd.edu) remain the best contacts for Development needs as the Provost’s Office conducts a search for a new IEI director. Please also feel free to direct questions to me as the department’s ACE liaison.
Best,
Amanda Retartha

New Opportunity for Josh Stowe

Colleagues,

I am both pleased and sad to share with you that Josh Stowe has accepted a new position with the Keough School of Global Affairs as a Senior Content Specialist. Josh has been with the Alumni Association for a number of years, and I’m excited for him as he takes this next step in his career. Josh has been the voice of the NDAA in many of our written communications—from Echoes to We Are ND, and in marketing every event from Reunion to Football Fridays. His presence on our team will be missed mightily.

At Keough, Josh will manage communications strategy and content development for the school, with a primary focus on content involving global religion and public policy issues. This position will work closely with the Ansari Institute for Global Engagement with Religion and the Keough School’s Washington Office.

Please join me in congratulating Josh. His last date with the NDAA will be October 11 and we expect to post the position yet this week. If you are interested or know of any stellar copywriters you would like to tell about the position, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best,
Bill Gangluff
