Welcome Meghan Buysse

Donor Services is thrilled to welcome Meghan Buysse to the team in the role of gift analyst. In this role, Meghan will coordinate and execute complex gift data and gift entry, implement process improvements and be a key partner to the regional development. She comes to us with eight years of banking experience and is a busy mom with a 2 year old daughter and two dogs. She likes to spend time outside, when the weather cooperates. Especially in the spring when you can find her at the baseball diamond cheering on the team her husband coaches.

Please join us in welcoming Meghan!

Congratulations, Jan Miller!

Posted on by
Dear Staff, 
 
There’s a Bible verse that says, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest.” (Galatians 6:9). For 26+ years our friend and colleague, Jan Miller, has dedicated herself to the Alumni Association. Now, Jan has made the difficult, yet very exciting, decision to retire at the end of the end of the year. Jan’s retirement will be effective on Dec. 31, 2017.
Jan has built countless relationships over the last two and a half decades, including colleagues that have become friends; faculty that enjoyed working with her through the Hesburgh Lecture Series; and our volunteer leaders that know Jan has always been here to help when needed.
We will miss Jan’s tireless support of key programs including the Hesburgh Lecture Series, Excellence in Teaching Conference, and Reunion programming. Jan is known as much for her personal touch with volunteer leaders who rely on her for the right information and friendly manner as she is for her meticulous organization and record-keeping abilities.
We are excited for Jan to enjoy the fruits of her labor in retirement. Join me in wishing Jan much happiness in her next life chapter which will be filled with family and friends in Myrtle Beach and South Bend.
Sincerely,
Mandy Kinnucan

Condolences to Dolly Duffy and Family

Posted on by

I am sorry to share more sad news from Dolly and her family. Her mother passed away yesterday. On the heels of the death of her father in May, this is extra difficult for them as you can imagine. Her solace is that they are now together.

Please keep Dolly and her family in your prayers. We will share information about the arrangements once they are made.

Control-Alt-Delete Function

Posted on by
On Saturday, October 7, OIT system administrators will remove the ctl-alt-delete function that comes up before the login screen on all domain managed Windows machines. This change will not remove the ability to use this function for other shortcuts and will be applied with the normal monthly patches.
After this change, the Windows computer will go directly to the login screen when you turn it on or wake it up instead of the ctl-alt-delete screen.
This configuration was originally implemented for Windows XP systems where the ctl-alt-delete step provided a level of security. Today, it does not enhance security and causes problems for any Windows device with a detachable keyboard, such as a Microsoft Surface.
Without the keyboard, you cannot perform the ctl-alt-delete function and may be unable to login to the device. The change will eliminate this issue for these devices.
If you have any questions please contact your departmental support team.

Congratulations Sarah Futa
