Welcome Patty Herrity, Program Director of Data Integrity

Posted on by
Dear colleagues,
 
Each and every one of us share in the responsibility of maintaining the integrity of our data.  Highly skilled data management unlocks hidden value that can be used to drive key operational changes and long term strategies.  The Strategic Analytics team is focused on optimizing business decisions through analytics and data strategies.
 
To that end, I am very pleased to share that Patty Herrity will join the Strategic Analytics team effective November 2nd as the new Data Integrity Program Director.  In this role, Patty will work closely with many across the Division to plan, implement, and coordinate an aggressive biographical data integrity program with a focus on improving the quality, quantity, and usage of data across the division.  Patty’s experience in the Ticket Office, Donor Services, Prospect Management, and most recently as the Campus Crossroads Project liaison and project specialist greatly prepares her for this new role.
Patty will continue to serve as the liaison for the CCP premium seats for a period of time.  Patty and Micki are working on a transition plan of these responsibilities, and are committed to a high level of partnership with all members of the Development and Athletics teams.  We will keep you posted on the plan for transition of these responsibilities, including key points of contact moving forward.
 
Please join me in congratulating Patty as she embarks on the next phase of her career in serving Notre Dame.

Dear UR colleagues,

Speaking as a colleague and a cancer survivor, I am humbled by your overwhelming response to my appeal for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Thanks to your generosity I more than doubled my fundraising goal of $1,800, raising $3,811.20 for cancer research! Your collective financial and emotional support propelled me to complete the Chicago Marathon in 3:56:15. Needless to say I have never been more proud to be a part of our Notre Dame community.
If you intended to donate but did not get the opportunity, the webpage is still accepting gifts at:  http://pages.teamintraining.org/vtnt/chicago15/JCunningham.
Thanks again for everything you did to make this experience so meaningful.

Sincerely,

Jim Cunningham MBA ‘13

You’re Invited! October is Dwarfism Awareness Month

Posted on by

Dear team,

I, Jessica Witous, am a short-statured individual, also known as a little person, or dwarf. I’m also a graduate of Rhode Island College, an east-coaster at heart, and a mean cook in the kitchen – please don’t let my height define who I am. Thus, I would like to welcome you all to an informal, light-hearted, presentation on Dwarfism Awareness, on Tuesday, October 27th. October has officially been deemed as Dwarfism Awareness Month in 20 states, including Indiana. I would like to use this opportunity to share facts, stories, and answer questions that any one may have. If you cannot attend, but have been curious about the topic, please let this be my invitation to you that my door is always open and I welcome any conversation regarding the like. I’ll be covering statistics, facts, my and Mikey’s history growing up, as well as tips and tools for encountering anybody with a disability, not just someone like me. Lunch will be provided.

I’m really blessed to be working with such an amazing, talented group of people, and I look forward to seeing you there!

Jess
