Please Welcome Juliana Newbill

Dear Team,

I am delighted to announce that Juliana Newbill is our new Career Advisor and she will join our team on Monday, April 24, 2017.  Juliana brings her experience in the areas of diversity and inclusion and career and leadership development gained at Whirlpool, Crowe Chizek, and non-profit organizations. Most recently, Juliana worked at Whirlpool as a Project Coordinator where she was on the team that created the global plan that included training and toolkit (which
she designed) and launched the first Diversity & Inclusion Week. Her work also involved creating developmental plans, tools and resources in support of Whirlpool’s top talent. In that process, she did career consults and resume reviews.

Juliana believes in helping people reach their full potential and this is evident in her work, volunteer activities, and community service. She served our community in the non-profit world through the American Cancer Society and Northern Indiana Center for History. Additionally, she ran mentoring programs for high school students.

Juliana is an alumna from the class of 2002. She earned a B.A. in English and is currently pursuing her master’s degree in Organizational Leadership through Indiana Wesleyan University.

On a personal note, Juliana and her husband John have 3 daughters and they are: Morgan ((9), Madison (6) and McKenzie (3). Outside of work and family, Juliana is passionate aboutvolunteering, reading, bike-riding, swimming and family activities.  She’s also very involved in her parish, St. Augustine’s.

We will all enjoy Juliana’s positive energy, commitment to life long learning, and can-do spirit.  Please join me in welcoming Juliana to the Alumni Association.

Best,

Sharon

Competency Growth: Developing Others

Posted on by

Developing Others

Everyone is a leader, for everyone influences others. What is the impact of your influence?

Positive Indicators:  Identifies strengths & abilities in others through real-time observation and analysis of results. Determines developmental needs and career interests. Allows and encourages others to have new experiences in order to grow and expand their knowledge.

Gap Indicators: Not a good people developer, very results driven and tactical therefore no time for long-term development. Plays it safe – can’t bring him/herself to assign really stretching (risky) work. Doesn’t support or cooperate with the developmental system in the organization.

Diversity and Inclusion Training for All Staff

Posted on by

Dear Notre Dame Staff,

In his September 2015 Letter on Diversity and Inclusion, Fr. John outlined several initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion within our Notre Dame community. He asked each of us to “recommit ourselves to building a community of respect, love and mutual support” at Notre Dame.

In the spirit of meeting these commitments, University-wide training programs for all staff have been developed on the subject of diversity and inclusion at Notre Dame. We are pleased to announce additional offerings of these programs, listed below.

All staff who have not done so already are asked to attend the appropriate program:

We Are All ND
For non-supervising staff. All staff not currently in a supervisory role are asked to attend We Are All ND, an interactive and engaging half-day workshop that encourages each of us to take ownership of our campus environment and do our part to build and maintain a culture of inclusion where all are welcomed.

Multicultural Competencies / Hiring Game Changers
For managers/supervisors. All managers and supervisors of staff are asked to attend Multicultural Competencies / Hiring Game Changers. The first session of this day-and-a-half workshop will define the University’s Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan, explain multicultural competencies and discuss their benefits to Notre Dame. The second session will help you identify and hire “game changers” — top talent motivated to move your organization forward.

Registration
Upcoming session dates/times are listed below. Sessions may fill quickly, so please register in eNDeavor soon to secure your preferred session. Please work with your manager to ensure that your normal work schedule permits the training offering you choose.
