Dear friends,

Merry Christmas! As you know, members of our Annual Giving team will be in the office next Tuesday – Friday, December 27-30 from 10a-4p, asking our generous alumni, parents and friends to renew their annual gifts to Notre Dame. If you would like to join in the fun and volunteer to make phone calls thanking members of the Notre Dame family for their gifts and asking them to renew in 2016, please let me, Amy Schell or Mary Bueno know what day(s) would work best. Please let us know by noon this Thursday, December 22 if possible. With more than 10,000 calls to make before January, no one will be turned away!

Of course, please feel no pressure whatsoever to join. We know how hard everyone works this time of year and how important time away is with your family. Thank you for your incredible teamwork and friendship, as always.

Merry Christmas!
Ryan

Dear Colleagues,

I am very excited to announce that Mark Dumich will lead the Strategic Analytics team effective January 3 as the new Director of Data and Analytics. Please note, Mark will continue to support the South Region in the prospecting of donors until his replacement has been identified in Prospect Management.

In leading the Strategic Analytics team, Mark will work closely with many across the Division to create, develop, and maintain a suite of analytics that enhance fundraising efforts and drive strategic business decisions. During his two years in Prospect Management, Mark has shown a stellar work ethic, raw talent, and commitment to his fellow colleagues. Prior to joining the Prospect Management team, Mark spent 8+ years working at M&N Trading in Chicago, a boutique trading firm specializing in the U.S. Treasury Yield Curve.

Mark is a 2006 Notre Dame graduate, majoring in finance. During his time at Notre Dame, Mark earned a Monogram working as a student manager for the baseball program. Mark and his wife, Carrie, are the proud parents of four children.

Please join me in congratulating Mark as he embarks on the next phase of his career in serving Notre Dame.

All my best,

Brad

I am excited to announce the hire of our newest South fundraiser, Steve Sollmann (ND ’04).    Steve will begin December 21, working with families in and around his hometown of Cincinnati (formerly covered by Brian Diss), as well as pick up Bill Kempf’s families in San Antonio and Austin.  Steve has been working as an academic counselor for student-athletes at Notre Dame since 2011.  He was a standout player and captain of the ND Baseball team, earning MVP, All-American, and Academic All-American honors to name a few.  He was also a member of the last Irish baseball team to make to the College World Series in 2002.  Steve spent four years playing professional baseball in the Milwaukee Brewers minor league system before hanging up the cleats.  Prior to returning to Notre Dame, Steve worked for three years at Morningstar, Inc., an investment research firm in Chicago.   He and his wife, Kate (ND ’04 and sister of Mark Dumich), have three children:  Mae (9), Will (6), Luke (3).

Thanks!
