Welcome Jesse Meyer
Please join me in welcoming Jesse Meyer to the University Relations team as a new Director of Development. Jesse will be serving benefactors in Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska.
Jesse comes to Notre Dame from the University of Chicago’s Alumni Relations & Development Office. While at UChicago, he worked on the Class Giving & Reunions Team and the Leadership Giving Team as a frontline fundraiser. In a previous role, he also ran a pre-professional career program at UChicago for students interested in proprietary trading. Prior to that, Jesse spent time in intercollegiate athletics at the University of Iowa and University of Kansas. He began his career in Chicago as an options trader for Moray Capital Management.
Jesse graduated from the University of Chicago in 2007 and was a member of the men’s varsity basketball team. His wife, Erin, is a 2008 UChicago graduate and former member of the women’s volleyball team and currently works as a physician assistant. They have two daughters, Lucy (4) and Ginny (2).

Boldly Notre Dame Campaign Update
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for your tremendous commitment to the University, and to the Boldly Notre Dame campaign. We are in the campaign’s 4th year, and the final year of the foundational (or “quiet”) phase. We are at $2.77 billion in campaign production thanks to the incredible generosity of our benefactors.
Confidentially, we will move to the public phase of the Boldly Notre Dame campaign toward the end of this fiscal year, likely in May 2017. At that time, we will not publicly announce a campaign goal. We would rather focus on our key initiatives and the impact our generous benefactors are already having on Notre Dame and the larger world. Our intent is to remain humble and hungry; we don’t believe a multi-billion dollar public goal announcement will be motivating for our alumni, parents and friends. We will continue to push hard internally to achieve our annual and overall campaign goals. We will also keep you informed as our public phase plans further develop. The public phase will last three years, ending in 2020.
As I shared with many of you at last week’s strategy session, our academic advancement directors and liaisons spent a great deal of time this summer revising their campaign priorities with the deans and University’s senior leaders. These updated campaign priorities can be found in the “Funding Opportunities” section of our new campaign resource center at ur.nd.edu/boldly. The site works better when using either a Chrome or Firefox browser.
Huge thanks to Brandon Tabor and Lin Wang for their work in transforming our campaign resource center. Going forward, please use ur.nd.edu/boldly to access campaign resources (e.g. funding opportunities, priority pages, presentations, campaign event talking points, print portal, etc.). We promise to keep this new site up to date, and welcome your input on ways to ensure it is most helpful for you.
Finally, attached for your reference is the latest listing of our academic advancement directors and liaisons. These colleagues are invaluable resources for you as you seek information about the hundreds of campaign priorities. I encourage you to work with these team members often.
For Notre Dame,
Shannon

Oct 25: Keynote on Gender and Negotiation in the Workplace
Negotiation is an important business skill. We need to negotiate in many circumstances, from a salary or business contract to working with our colleagues. Research shows that gender can affect the success of a negotiation because men and women approach situations differently. Negotiation skills can be learned, and although gender may influence our approach, both men and women can use some of the same strategies to improve negotiations.
In this keynote, Dr. Susan G. Williams will share how awareness of the factors that create gender-related advantages and disadvantages in negotiations can help promote a more egalitarian workplace.
