Farewell to Kristine Alumbaugh

Sadly I report that Kristine Alumbaugh of Donor Services is leaving her position in Development and joining the team in Arts and Letters. She will be assisting in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design. What a wonderful opportunity this is for Kristine! Her work ethic, her focus on the task at hand, and her creativity are all considerable talents that will now be used in another department for the benefit of the University. Kristine’s last day in Donor Services will be October 14.

We are excited for Kristine as she leaves for this new adventure and we wish her all the best.

Welcome Eve Kelly

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce that Eve Kelly, a talented member of the current Rotation Program cohort, will be joining University Relations for the next six months.

As a member of Micki Kidder’s leadership team, and in partnership with Leah Corachea, Eve will be focused on developing a recommendation for how we can utilize the Phone Center to maximize revenue to the University, engagement with the Notre Dame family, and to enhance and broaden the employment experience for our more than 100 student employees.

Eve recently completed a successful rotation in partnership with Karrah Miller, Director of Institutional Equity and Bob McQuade, Vice President for Human Resources. Prior to entering the Rotation Program, Eve spent more than ten years as a leader in the Federal TRiO program, providing support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, the most recent two years here at Notre Dame.

We are incredibly fortunate to count on Eve’s leadership of this important University initiative. Please join me in welcoming Eve to the team!

All the best,

Ryan

Congratulations to Angeline and Dave!

Angeline and I are excited to share that baby Daley has arrived, and almost exactly on schedule!

Dia Maria Daley was delivered on Saturday, October 1st, at 3:02am, only a few hours past her due date. She has a full head of long dark hair, like her mom. She weighed in at 7lbs. 4ozs, and was 19 inches long.

Angeline and baby are doing amazing! Dad is overwhelmed with joy and gratitude! Baby Dia has already proven to be a good luck charm for the football team, too!

Thank you for all the support you’ve given us during the pregnancy. We look forward to introducing you to our beautiful daughter soon!

Attached are a few pictures!

Best,
Dave
