It is my pleasure to announce that Sharon Rankert has accepted the position of Senior Lettershop Coordinator in Donor Services.

For the past 14 months Sharon has worked for Donor Services as a member of the Alumni Files team. While in Alumni Files, Sharon did a great job ensuring that updates from mynotredame were completed on a daily basis. She helped identity enhancements to the front end of mynotredame, giving our alumni, parents and friends a better user experience and ensuring that the data going into Advance was more accurate and in accordance with the users’ intent.  Sharon was also a major contributor in the Advance Web implementation, helping write Work Instructions and Policies and Procedures and testing biographic data forms. She has been an asset in Alumni Files with her strong work ethic, dedication and innovative ideas. In her new role, Sharon will help guide the Lettershop staff in maintaining high standards for donor acknowledgments as well as continuing the work on implementing new Lettershop processes.

Sharon graduated from Indiana University of South Bend and, prior to coming to Notre Dame, served as a Stewardship Coordinator at Culver Academies with responsibilities in donor reporting. Her other experiences include her employment at Pebble Beach Resorts, where she was identified as the top reservations agent for the Pebble Beach Resorts, and substitute teaching in Wuerzburg, Germany. Sharon’s husband Brett is retired from the military and is currently employed at Culver Military Academy. Her son, Justin, is attending Indiana University of South Bend.

Sharon brings enthusiasm and talent to the Lettershop. Along with Barb Patnaude we have a professional and dedicated team and we look forward to the year ahead as we continue to implement process improvements in the Lettershop.

Join me in congratulating Sharon on herr new role.
