Please join me in welcoming Chris Walsh to the University of Notre Dame Development team.  Chris begins his work with Notre Dame after a successful twenty year career in the healthcare industry.

Chris is a 1987 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a BA in Pre-Professional Studies and Psychology.  He also earned a Masters in Physical Therapy from University of Indianapolis.  Chris is a Monogram winner and served as captain of the Notre Dame Swim Team.

Chris has a unique professional skill set that blends exceptional sales success complimented by a strong service commitment.  He spent several years in the Indianapolis rehabilitation and specialty care community as a successful physical therapist and later transitioned to the corporate side where he represented the Merck and Stryker product lines of Reconstructive, Trauma and Orthopedics.

In 2009, Chris launched his first entrepreneurial company, Cancer Treatment Survival, Inc.  The mission of the firm is to become a consultant to people with new diagnoses of cancer with direct focus on education, organization and preparation for their medical care.   Chris also authored his first book in 2010, “The First Fifteen Minutes of Cancer”.

Notre Dame welcomes the entire Walsh family including Chris’s wife Stephanie, and their children: Lilly, Aislinn and Declan.  The Walsh family lives in Niles, Michigan and they are members of St Joseph’s Parish in South Bend.

Chris will be a wonderful addition to the Development team and I am very proud to welcome him aboard!

Go Irish!
