Congratulations Angel Hess

Dear Colleagues:

I am happy to announce that Angel Hess will be joining the Athletics Advancement team as an Administrative Assistant following the Christmas holidays. She will support our three regional fundraisers, while also assisting with events, acknowledgments, and reporting.

Angel has been a critical member of Annual Giving since 2012, serving as Lead Coordinator of the Donor Experience Team the past couple years.  In that time, she has gained the trust and friendship of colleagues across the division, as well as countless Giving Society members who have come to know her on a first name basis. While she will be missed in Annual Giving, we are happy that her spirit and abilities will continue to be a part of the UR team.

Annual Giving has posted a new Donor Experience Associate position. If you have any questions, or are interested in exploring this role, please contact Ann Moran or Jonathan Retartha.

Please join Jonathan and me in congratulating Angel!

Welcome Sean Boudreau

I am pleased to announce Sean Boudreau, a new Program Director in Cultivation Events.  Sean’s core responsibilities will be working with the Annual Giving & Strategic Marketing team on stewardship strategies, events and experiences. These giving society events include fall football-related activities as well as events on and off campus throughout the year. Highlights will include Notre Dame Day and the traveling Sorin: A Notre Dame Story.
A native of South Bend, Indiana, Sean joins the Notre Dame team after seven years as the marketing specialist at Tire Rack. Prior to his time at Tire Rack, he spent five years working for agencies in Chicago and Milwaukee developing, managing and executing events for clients such as General Mills and Bank of America. When not in the office, you can find him on the trails for a long run, or on the fairways enjoying a round of golf.

Sean earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing from Texas Tech University. He and his wife Angela are the proud parents of their son, Finnley.

Welcome Teresa Querciagrossa

I am delighted to announce that Teresa Querciagrossa will join our team on Monday, November 13th. Teresa will be supporting Eileen Murdock, Jeff Fersch, and Megan Macri in our Chicago office. Teresa is a Holy Cross College graduate and served as the Basilica’s Asst. Sacristan following college. She comes to us after a two year stint in New York, where she worked in Stewardship and Special Events at NYU School of Law.

Teresa enjoys weight-lifting, climbing and back-packing, cooking and baking, and traveling. She hails from Southern California and her claim to fame is the fact that she knows New York City “better than anyone.” While living in NYC, she would intentionally “lose” herself in the city, just so she could figure out where she was, and thus she learned all about the Big Apple by using that creative method.

Please join me in welcoming Teresa to the Regional Development administrative team!

Condolences to Krys Montague and Family

Please join me in extending condolences to Krys Montague and her family on the passing of her mother, Josephine Sieroslawski. Josephine passed away early Saturday morning, November 4th, surrounded by her loving family. Our Krys was a deeply devoted daughter. She often shared heart-warming and sometimes humorous stories about her mom’s antics and can-do spirit. The Regional Development Administrative team came to know Krys’ mom during these last years and was privileged to provide Krys love and support, especially during these last few months. As Krys said, late on Saturday morning, her “mother is now dancing the polka in heaven.”
Please see the link below for wake and funeral arrangements.

Irish1Card Available at ESC 11/6 & 11/7

The university is transitioning to a contactless identification card system, called Irish1Card.  If your card looks like the sample below, you will need to have your card replaced.

The card services team will be in the Hesburgh Conference Room at Eddy Street Commons on Monday, November 6 from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm and Tuesday, November 7 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm to assist with the replacement of your existing card.

To receive a new Irish1Card you will need to bring your current ID card with you and be prepared to have a replacement photo taken.

If you or a spouse are unable to make it to the card replacement sessions at Eddy Street, or if you are located in other buildings across campus, you can get your Irish1Card directly from the Card Services office located at 423 Grace Hall.  The card services office is open Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.  Please note, all monetary balances, door access, and other card privileges will remain the same on the new card.
