I’m pleased to announce some exciting changes in the Alumni Association’s Marketing Communications team that will allow us to elevate engagement with our alumni and friends digitally and increasingly embrace a group that is growing in importance, our young alumni. These changes will involve shifts in positions and growth in the team and I wanted to make sure you were aware of these changing roles.

Bill Gangluff is being promoted to Senior Director of Marketing Communications.  In addition to his outstanding leadership on the marketing front, Bill has increasingly taken on senior level responsibilities within the association, and I’m pleased to be able to acknowledge his contributions.

Kevin Brennan will assume a new role as Associate Director of Marketing Communications, continuing to report to Bill. Kevin will lead the execution of all digital communications with our alumni and friends through social media channels and our website. He will have the following three direct reports.

Josh Stowe will move from his role as a Digital Specialist into Kevin’s vacated role as Writer and Content Editor. In this role, Josh will provide the majority of the day-to-day marketing writing needs and partner with Kevin to provide feature writing for Echoes. He will also become the alumni editor of Notre Dame Magazine, overseeing the Class Notes section.

Josh’s current position, Digital Specialist, will be posted in coming days. This position manages all of our social media channels and web content.

The final individual who will report to Kevin is Jackie Thomas, as young alumni program director. Jackie will join Marketing Communications from our Programs team to partner with Kevin and the rest of Marcom to develop a strategic plan to engage young alumni.

If you have any questions about these changes, please don’t hesitate to ask either Bill or me.

All the best,

Dolly
