We’re pleased to announce that Grace Prosniewski has been hired as our new writer on the Storytelling & Engagement Team.  Grace’s first day is Monday, November 14th.

Here’s what you’ll want to know about Grace — she’s a talented writer, a very nice person and she graduated from that “school in Ann Arbor.”  Please know, going “two for three” in the big leagues gets you into the Hall of Fame!

Grace grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, where she graduated from Ladywood High School in Livonia — an all-girl Catholic prep school.  Her 88 year-old Grandmother — a life-long Notre Dame fan — admitted to the family last week; “my prayers have been answered” — when she learned Grace got this job.

The family is looking forward to bringing Grandma to campus real soon — we’ll make that a special visit!

I had the honor of hosting Grace, Pam (mom) and Paul (dad) for breakfast this Saturday and a tour of campus.  I learned Paul’s brother worked at Notre Dame in the late 70’s and Pam recalls coming to a ND football game with her brother in the 80’s.  Grace has two older sisters — the oldest is a lawyer and her middle sister is a teacher.   The Prosniewski’s are good people!

We are very excited about the talent, personality and humility Grace will bring to our team.  You’re going to love her.  Please be sure to stop by and welcome this “Michigan Wolverine” to the Notre Dame family!
