Dear Colleagues,

Please join me in welcoming Dan Peña to the Annual Giving and Strategic Marketing team. Dan will serve as the Associate Director, Graduate Business Annual Giving. Dan will be responsible building and executing the strategy to cultivate, solicit, and steward Graduate Business alumni and benefactors to increase expendable annual giving to the Graduate Business Programs. Dan will also be instrumental in developing the experience for the Dean’s Circle at $25K annual giving.

Prior to coming to Notre Dame, Dan worked for Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits of Indiana as an area manager, leading a sales team that covered all three (restaurant, retail, chain) channels of distribution for its supplier partners. Dan also served as Coordinator of Corporate and Foundation Relations at Siena Heights University prior to his role at Southern Glazer’s.

Dan earned his MBA in 2012 from Mendoza. Dan and his wife Amber are residents of South Bend and have two children Patrick, 3 years and Sophia, 10 months.

In Notre Dame,

Amy Schell
Director, Notre Dame Funds
