It is with mixed emotions that we announce that Michele LaCosse will be leaving University Relations to accept a position in the Institute for Church Life effective March 11, 2013. We will miss Michele’s easy-going personality and wonderful dedication, but we are confident that she will make great contributions to Notre Dame by working with students in the ND Vision program.

In the seven years Michele has been in Donor Services she has made significant contributions in the Lettershop, Alumni Files and Gift Processing areas. She has done a wonderful job helping lead various Donor Services initiatives including database upgrades and process improvement projects. Most recently Michele has been a valuable member of the Lettershop Gift Acknowledgement Greenbelt Project team. We are so thankful for all Michele has done for Donor Services. She has earned our respect and admiration, and we wish her well in her new position!

After March 8, please direct questions regarding the Lettershop to Barb Patnaude, Sue Prister or Stacy Koebel-Harder. We will be working with Human Resources to fill Michele’s position.

Stacy L. Koebel-Harder, CPA, CGMA, Director, Development Donor Services
