Welcome to Amy Geist

Dear Staff and Board,

We are pleased to announce that Amy Geist, Assistant Director in the Notre Dame Student Activities Office, will be joining the Alumni Association/Visitor’s Center as part of the University’s Rotation Program.  Amy will be charged with doing a complete review of the Visitor’s Center including benchmarking against other universities and organizations, reviewing the use of the facility, analyzing the tours and much more.  Amy will be joining the Alumni Association team for many meetings and events throughout the fall.

 

Amy is a native Floridian and daughter of Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s graduates.  She traded warmer and more humid climates for the opportunity to work at Notre Dame, a place dear to her heart.

She received her Bachelor of Science degree from Jacksonville University (Sociology with minors in Psychology and Photography) and her Master of Arts degree from Ball State University (Student Personnel Administration in Higher Education). She joined the University of Notre Dame Student Activities Office in 2001 as a Program Coordinator and was promoted to Assistant Director in 2006.  Her responsibilities included advising Class Councils and Student Government, supporting undergraduate and graduate student groups and residence halls, facilitating leadership development, and serving as hiring manager for more than 20 full-time staff searches in various Student Affairs departments.

Prior to working at the University of Notre Dame, she held the positions of Coordinator of Student Life and Development at California State University, Long Beach and Collegiate Leadership Consultant for Gamma Phi Beta Sorority.  She has served as the advisor to the Notre Dame Pom Squad since 2002 and has been a member of the Young Professionals Against Poverty group in South Bend since 2006. She is a recreational marksman and an avid sports fan who has attended a game at 23 of the 30 Major League ballparks.

Please join me in welcoming Amy to the team.

All the best,

Dolly Duffy
