Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to announce that Allison Maddox will serve as our new Director of Academic Advancement for the College of Science. In this role, Allison will serve as the development liaison for the College as a member of Dean Galvin’s senior leadership team. She will work closely with the Dean, faculty, advisory council members, and field fundraisers to advance the key priorities for the College of Science.
As most of you know, Allison has been an integral part of our Corporate and Foundation Relations team since 2010 where she has served as Corporate Relations Coordinator, Associate Director, and most recently, Director for Foundation Relations for the Colleges of Science and Engineering. I believe this experience along with Allison’s strong work ethic, collaborative spirit, demonstrated fund raising success, and dedication to the mission of Our Lady’s University, will enable her to advance an ambitious fund raising plan for the College.
We look forward to welcoming Allison to the Academic Advancement Team this summer after a replacement has been identified for her current role in Foundation Relations. In the meantime, Allison, Sean Kassen, George Keegan, and I will be working closely together to ensure a smooth transition for each of the roles involved.
Please join me in congratulating Allison on her exciting new position!
EUCHRE CLUB
We still have seats available for the 5/12 Euchre game! Please contact me if you’re interested in playing. Thanks! Patty 1-1818 psmith15@nd.edu
Do you like to play Euchre? Are you interested in helping to raise money for Relay for Life? Would you like to play cards with your co-workers? If you answered yes to these questions, please join the newly formed Euchre Club for Relay for Life. We will meet in the ESC family room the 2nd Thursday of every month at 5:15pm. There is no obligation to attend every game. Play once, twice or all twelve times. It’s up to you.
The entry fee will be $10 per game. $5 will go to Relay for Life and $5 will be in the evenings prize pool. After our game on April 13, 2017 the UR Relay for Life Team will be presented with the money we raised over the previous 12 months.
If you sign up to play, please give your entree fee to Patty Smith at least one day prior to the game. This will help us know how many people will be at each tournament.
Signups are on a first come, first served basis and no more than 24 people can sign up for any given tournament. You can sign up until the day prior to the tournament or until the tournament is full. We would like to keep the tournament in the development family so if you have a spouse or significant other who would like to join you at any of the games, just sign them up when you do.
Please remember, we need to begin on time, so you must be able to be in the ESC Family Room by 5:15 on game day. You also must be willing to stay the entirety of the tournament. If you cannot stay until the end, you are not eligible to play. The length of the tournament will depend on the numbers of players; most will run between 2 -2.5 hours. However, if we are full it could take 3-4 hours.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 1-1818 or psmith15@nd.edu

Dear friends,
It is with great enthusiasm to announce that, effective immediately, Katherine Lane will transition to a limited term position as the leader of the ND Trail and University’s 175th anniversary celebration! With unprecedented opportunity to reflect on the founding and mission of Our Lady’s University, the ND Trail will have an historic and lasting impact on all members of the Notre Dame family. Katherine’s dedication to the mission, our team, and extraordinary leadership skills will add to an already impressive and talented project team.
Katherine will lead an internal team of Matt Klawitter, Lauren Fox, and a yet-to-be announced Assistant Director (position currently posted). She will also work with campus and external partners to bring the ND Trail to life. Katherine’s leadership will extend through September 1, 2017, at which time she will return to the Sr. Director, Special Events and Stewardship position.
Effective May 1, 2016 – September 1, 2017, Mary Fisher will serve as the interim leader of the Special Events and Stewardship team. Mary’s tenure on our Development team, extraordinary talents, and dedication to the mission position her perfectly to step into this new leadership opportunity.
We could not be more thrilled at the opportunities ahead, both to create an historic experience for the Notre Dame family as well as additional growth and development opportunities for so many talented members of this team. Thank you for your continued dedication to Our Lady and one another; please don’t hesitate to contact either of us should you have any questions.
In Notre Dame
Micki and Shannon
