Mary Fisher has been promoted to assistant director of stewardship programs from her position supporting the West Region of Development. Having received her Bachelor of Arts degree, summa cum laude, in Film, Television and Theatre from Notre Dame in 2008, Mary has been with the Department of Development  for a year, and previously served the University in the Career Center. Her experience with donor cultivation and engagement will serve her well in this expanded role. Mary will serve as the stewardship partner for the East Region, with a particular focus on a stewardship strategy for all leadership and principal benefactors in this region.  She will also work to enhance current stewardship programs, including acknowledgments and endowment reports. Although her first official day in Stewardship will be October 6, Mary will continue to support the West until a replacement can be hired and trained. Congratulations, Mary!

Beth Ferlic will also join the team as an assistant director of stewardship programs. This new position will work closely with Regional Development to manage a portfolio of “steward only” donors and will also be responsible for creating a cumulative giving program for leadership benefactors, among other responsibilities.  Beth brings with her a wealth of relationship-building and donor relations experience, as she previously served as the associate director of public relations for the Seattle Symphony. She most recently served as the house manager at Notre Dame’s DeBartolo Performing Arts Center. Beth received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Composition and a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Santa Clara University, and earned a Master of Arts degree in Ethnomusicology from the University of Washington.  She resides in South Bend with her husband Nate Lazenga. Her first day at Eddy Street will be Monday, October 10. Welcome to Development, Beth!

The upgrades to ur.nd.edu have been completed. The site now fully incorporates Central Authentication Service, which is a single-sign on that will automatically log you in to other CAS-enabled ND services which are growing daily, eNDeavor and SugarCRM* are two examples

note that this means visiting ur.nd.edu will require netid/password login from now on, and that credentials will expire every two hours or on browser close

Thank you for your patience, if any technical issues should occur please contact Jay Rizzi

As University Relations grows, the need to incorporate more users quickly along with streamlining our online processes has ushered the need for updating the site login mechanism.

Over the weekend, ur.nd.edu will be undergoing a series of updates that will enable single -sign on via login.nd.edu. This means a noticable increase in site speed, as well higher level of security. It also will enable access to any other University single -sign on application to be auto-logged, this includes eNDeavor, BOSSCARS, and SugarCRM.

This also means that ur.nd.edu  will require netid-password authentication each visit, as login.nd.edu does not allow multiple day credentials

You may see some outage over the weekend, I will try my best to keep it at a minimum, feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions

Thanks,

Jay Rizzi
