It is with great pleasure that we announce Krys Montague as the newest addition to our Development Team!   Effective August 15, 2011 Krys will be supporting both Senior Regional Directors Kevin Cannon (West) and Mike Sullivan (Midwest).  Krys has been the administrative assistant for Fr. John Jenkins, and has now taken on the new role of supporting Kevin and Mike.  Krys has been with the Notre Dame family for 10 years and has a wealth of experience that will help our Senior Regional Directors.  She lives in South Bend, has two beautiful grandchildren, Katie and Chance, and is an active volunteer for many organizations including Relay for Life.    Krys is a huge football fan and many of you may have already seen her on the sidelines cheering on the football players!    Krys is another excellent addition to our outstanding team.  Please take a moment to stop by and welcome Krys to the Development Office!

Stephen Smith and I wish Mary Andersen tremendous success in her new role as Assistant Director Reunion Giving working with Craig Horvath in the Annual Fund.  We have had the pleasure of working with Mary for two years and know that she will be a valuable addition to Craig’s team.  We are truly excited for Mary as she takes her outstanding skills, energy and personality to her new role.

We are equally excited to welcome Noell Stohler as our new Administrative Assistant.  Noell and her husband, Bill, live in Edwardsburg, MI.  They are the proud parents of Mason (12) and Haven (11).  Noell, a graduate of Indiana University, played an integral role in establishing and successfully growing Pier Perfection, a marine products / services company that she and Bill founded in 1997.  Noell brings the wide variety of skills any successful small business owner must master to helping service Notre Dame’s benefactors in the west.

Noell is an avid runner and triathlete.  She will, undoubtedly, draw upon the endurance gained through participation in these sports as she works through her first football season at Notre Dame.

Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Noell!

Bruce Danielson is excited to announce that Deena Chamberlin has been hired as his full-time assistant effective Monday, August 8^th.  Deena has spent the past several months in the same role on a temporary assignment as Cheryl Schlimpert was managing the implementation of Sugar CRM.

Deena grew up in a small town in NH and graduated from IUSB.  She’s been married for 17 years to her husband Eric and lives in Mishawaka.  Deena and Eric have a 13 yr. old son, Harrison.

Prior to working at Notre Dame, Deena was the Event Coordinator for the Matterhorn Conference Center.  You may remember her catering the tailgate parties!  For 15 years prior to that she was a manager for the Emporium Restaurant.  She is very excited to be joining the Development Office full-time!

Please join us in welcoming Deena as she begins her new role.

Can you believe classes will be in session in just a few short weeks.  The summer flew by and given the blistering hot temperatures over the last month I am sure a lot of us are looking forward to the cooler Fall weather, football season and the hustle and bustle of campus as the students return for another great year.

As far as the VoIP project goes, the team is still pushing forward.  In the next few VoIP updates we will be sharing with you additional features that our VoIP phones offer.  We hope you will find these tips and tricks helpful as you continue to learn about the phone and all it can do.

We will be offering VoIP demonstrations to campus:

·         Thursday, August 18, 2011 9:00 – 10:00 am: Hesburgh Carey Auditorium

·         Wednesday, August 31, 2011 3:30 – 4:30 pm: DeBartolo Hall, Room 102

• Get your voicemail sent to your email:  Go to  https://myphone.nd.edu and click the Request Additional Features link to have this feature activated by the Help Desk.

• The Conference Calling feature will allow 8 lines to join together (on or off campus numbers included).  Go to http://myphone.nd.edu/documents/voipphone_basics.pdf for more information.

• Speed Dials can be set up to quickly dial frequently used numbers – 199 are allowed:  Go to http://myphone.nd.edu/documents/voipphonevm_additional.pdf to see how.

 

• You can call directly into someone’s voicemail box to leave a message by pressing * and the person’s 5 digit extension.  i.e (*X-XXXX)

• Pressing the large button on the right side of the VoIP phone allows you to tilt the phone to your viewing preference.

• Mobility: –  The Mobility feature allows you to “move” a call from your desk phone to a cell phone without alerting the caller that you have done so and continue the conversation ‘on the run’.  In addition, when you call another VoIP phone using the device associated with the Mobility feature, it will display your office number — as if you were calling from your office, not from your cell.  Go to:  https://myphone.nd.edu/ndonly/devicerequest.shtml to request this feature to be activated.

• Phone Designer: – You can install the Phone Designer application to customize the wallpaper (picture) and ringtone on your desk phone.  Go to http://myphone.nd.edu/documents/phone_designer.pdf for instructions on how to install and use the application.  Note: This application can only be used on a Windows 32-bit machine.

As always, if you have any additional question, our experts at the Help Desk are always available to help…631-8111 or oithelp@nd.edu.

We also want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! The prayers, cards, love, and many gifts are deeply appreciated.
It’s such a great feeling to be so far away but so close to you all at the same time.  You’ll never know how much your support has

I look forward to seeing you all soon in a couple of weeks! God Bless.

All the best,
