Euchre Players,
It’s time to sign up for October Euchre! We will gather together Thursday, October 13, 2016 at 5:30pm in the ESC Cafe. (This is a slightly later start time and new location)

Yes, I know it’s the Thursday before a home game. Yes, I know the Board of Trustees are in town. Yes, I know we’re all super busy. But I also know you must allow time for fun and camaraderie in your life!

We need at least 8 people to play! If you’ve been thinking about joining us, please do!!! The cost is $10 to play. If you have any questions, or would like to play, please contact me at 1-1818 or psmith15@nd.edu. Your entry fee is due to me by 5pm, Wednesday, October 12, 2016.

I look forward to seeing you at the card table!

Annual Giving Mailing: Fall Solicitation for Law and Order of St. Thomas More

Annual Giving & Strategic Marketing dropped a direct mail campaign last week to approximately 9,000 recipients, including law alumni (donors and non-donors) as well as parents and friends with previous gifts to the Order of St. Thomas More and Notre Dame Law School Fund. The mailing included a letter from Ian Secviar, the new Director of the Order of St. Thomas More, and a brochure featuring a student story and highlighting the impact of gifts to the Law School. The letter and mailing list can be viewed here. The mailing was sent first class and gifts generated will be routed through the Chicago lockbox.

very best talent to UR as the Recruiting Coordinator.

Attorney. In 2013 she joined the Development team at the front desk.
She became an Administrative Assistant for Bill Kempf and Luke Conway

Dear Colleagues,

Later this morning, the University will announce a $15 million gift from Joan and Bob McGrath for the Institute for Church Life.

The McGraths have been long-time ICL-CSC Advisory Council members, and Joan is a Boldly Notre Dame Campaign Cabinet member. Bob is a 1955 Notre Dame graduate.

We are incredibly grateful for this generous gift, and the impact it will have on our students and the Church for generations to come. This gift is a perfect fit for the McGraths and Notre Dame. They previously named the McGrath-Cavadini Directorship for the Institute.

Going forward, we can begin referring to ICL as the McGrath Institute for Church Life.

Best wishes to all of you as we head into our 3rd home game weekend.

All my best,
Shannon
