Leadership and Being Happy by Ron Kraemer: Monday 4 PM in the Family Room

All Development staff are invited to ND Shares on Monday March 27 at 4:00 PM in the Family Room.

Ron Kraemer, Vice President for Information Technology & Chief Information and Digital Officer, will present Reflections on Leadership and Being Happy.

Ronald D. Kraemer was appointed vice president and chief information officer at the University of Notre Dame in August, 2010. In 2013, Kraemer was asked to take on the additional responsibility of serving as Notre Dame’s Chief Digital Officer.

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Kraemer earned a master’s degree from the University of Tennessee, where his research concerned geographical information systems. Before joining the University of Wisconsin staff, Kraemer was a program manager at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, where he worked with the University of Tennessee overseeing information technology operations and research initiatives and developing the system used to plan and schedule all airlifts for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm during the 1990-91 war in Iraq. He also served as associate director of the Energy, Environment and Resources Center at the University of Tennessee and spent several years as a senior systems analyst at Lockheed Missiles and Space Co., Inc., in Oak Ridge.

As vice president and chief information and digital officer, Kraemer leads all aspects of Notre Dame’s Office of Information Technologies, including a staff of more than 240. He oversees information technology (IT) infrastructure that supports the entire campus community, development of enterprise systems that underlie many of the University’s teaching, learning, research, engagement and business activities, and establishment of a governance structure to plan for future IT service needs across campus.


ND Shares is a Development team knowledge-sharing platform that:

– Draws upon the talent of Notre Dame staff, faculty, students, alumni, parents and friends.
– Invites sharing across lines of role, department, and physical location.
– Focuses on topics deemed important by the team.
– Promotes wellness of mind, body, and spirit of our Development colleagues.
– Reminds us of the great privilege to participate in and promote Notre Dame’s mission, vision and values.

Teresa O’Connor’s Next Chapter …

It is with sadness, but great appreciation, that I announce Teresa O’Connor’s resignation, effective April 4, 2017. Teresa has been a well-loved and devoted employee at Notre Dame for 18 years and her cheerful attitude, dedication to the mission, and unwavering faith will be missed by all.
Teresa soon begins a new chapter in life…in Florida, and perhaps you’ll see her should you vacation in the Orlando area! Please join me in wishing her well and thanking her for her many year’s of service to Our Lady’s University.
