New Position: Program Director for Athletics Events & Stewardship

Dear colleagues:

In an effort to streamline events for the Development Department and to offer a consistent level of excellence in the execution of Athletics Advancement events, a new position within the Special Events & Stewardship team has been created.

The Program Director for Athletics Events & Stewardship will serve as the lead for planning and executing all events and activities associated with Athletics Advancement. While football season will be a critical focus, it will be a goal of this position to also strategically utilize all of the other athletics contests and teams throughout the year. Work requirements include weekend hours and travel in support of varsity sports.

This position will be a member of the Special Events & Stewardship team reporting directly to me, and will have a dotted line to Sara Liebscher in Athletics Advancement. The position will spend time with both teams, having a landing spot at both Eddy Street and the Joyce Center. The position will be posted soon on jobs.nd.edu. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Warm regards,

Katherine
