I write to share a new University-wide initiative for public recognition on campus. In an effort to ensure consistency and equity for benefactors, the Office of Stewardship Programs will be responsible for all public recognition (walls, plaques, signage, etc.) moving forward. Stewardship will work closely with the University Architect’s Office and building managers to meet all existing and future recognition needs.

For official dedications of buildings and programs, I will work closely with the Office of Special Events to facilitate best-in-class events, taking responsibility for both the public recognition and tokens of appreciation from the University. For smaller events, the point of contact should work closely with me to ensure the proper plaque/signage is obtained.

To learn more about the new policy and procedures for public recognition, please see the document attached to your email on this topic. We look forward to partnering with you on recognition in the future.

In Notre Dame,

Katherine Lane, Director of Stewardship Programs
