Patty Herrity to Become Project Specialist

Posted on by

Dear Team,

It is with great enthusiasm that I announce Patty Herrity will be transitioning to the role of Development Project Specialist for the following 24 months.

In this role, Patty will serve as the primary liaison for the Campus Crossroads Project as well as manage four strategic projects in various areas of the Development organization.

Patty will report directly to me over these two years, and will split her time between the Joyce Center and Eddy Street Commons / Grace Hall. Patty’s experience in the Ticket Office,  Donor Services, and Prospect Management prepare her for this multi faceted rotation opportunity.

Patty will begin this transition effective Monday, September 22, and she will split her time between the project specialist role and prospect management for the next four weeks, as we identify her successor in Prospect Management.

Please join me in congratulating Patty as she embarks on the next phase of her career in serving Notre Dame.

All my best, 
Micki 

 

Fall Mailing on Sept. 17th

Posted on by

Dear Colleagues,

The 2014 Fall Mailing began to drop on Wednesday, September 17, 2014.  Pieces take 3-5 business days to reach the Notre Dame family around the country.

This mailing is a foldout brochure that uses great images to instill nostalgia and remind them of their love for Notre Dame. The mailing was sent to over 130,000 alumni, parents and friends, and contains both a reply card and a business reply envelope.

This piece would not have come together without the ongoing partnership with University Communications and the hard work of Morgan Bullock and Lindahl Wiegand. Thank you!

Go Irish!

Amy Schell, Director, Annual Giving Funds

Welcome Lucas Eggers to Alumni in August

Posted on by
Lucas Eggers  joined the Alumni staff on August 28 as Engagement Marketing Program Director. 
 
Lucas comes to us from IUSB where he served most recently as a Manager of Website Content, leading a team of campus partners in a variety of digital initiatives—web, signage, video production, and electronic marketing. He also has a print design and production background.
 
Lucas will lead the digital and marketing strategy for projects that intersect with a number of NDAA program lines, including travel, spirituality, academics, career/professional, Reunion, Eck Visitors Center, and some athletic initiatives. He will also help develop email protocols with the IT team. In these project manager roles, Lucas will be complemented by Anne Faherty, who will continue to manage marketing efforts for her affinity programs, as well as marketing for clubs (domestic and international), classes, and groups. In her role with clubs, she will also market Leadership Conference.
 
Lucas graduated from IU South Bend with a BFA in Graphic Design in 2007.
He grew up in Niles and currently lives in South Bend. When Lucas isn’t working, he might be found riding or wrenching on his motorcycles, brewing beer, or growing things in the garden (including the hops for his “brewery”!)
 
He has a son, Owen, who will be three in October; a dog, Stella; two cats; and a saltwater fish tank. 
 
Please join me in helping Lucas feel welcome and at home.
