Dear Colleagues:

Rod Ambrissi will fill Laura O’Sullivan’s previous role as the program director in Special Events & Stewardship working with the Annual Giving & Marketing Strategy team. He will be working closely with the leaders of the recognition societies (Sorin Society, Corby Society, Order of St. Thomas More, John Cardinal O’Hara Society, Rockne Directors Circle, as well as the Badin Guild) to plan and execute events that engage and inspire.

Rod has spent the last fifteen years traveling the world, as a cruise director with Royal Caribbean International. He will apply his extensive experience working internationally and interacting with diverse cultures and lifestyles to the many recognition society activities as well as Notre Dame Day. Rod’s strengths of creativity and adaptability will serve him well in this role, and you’ll see his enthusiasm is contagious.

Rod and his wife Tammy, already living in South Bend and with Anthony Travel, are thrilled that Rod has found “land legs” and that their long-distance relationship has come to an end. Please join me in welcoming Rod and Tammy to the Notre Dame family.

Yours in Notre Dame,

Katherine Lane
