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.
