Dear Team:

I am excited and grateful to share that Debra De St. Jean will return to our development team as Sarah Bogucki’s successor in the role of development associate effective July 23, 2018. Deb had worked in 405 as a senior administrative assistant from 2004 to 2010, and since 2010 she has served as the business coordinator for The Observer. In her new role,

Debra will: (1) help lead the organizational effectiveness efforts in the areas I serve; (2) manage special projects, especially around benchmarking and the Advisory Council program; (3) oversee the hospitality and reception in 405 Main; and (4) provide day-to-day administrative support and donor service.

I know that Debra’s experience, do-whatever-it-takes service ethic, and engaging personality will strengthen our entire team as we work together to advance Notre Dame’s sacred mission. Please join me in welcoming Debra back to our team.

Best, Drew

Tomorrow (Thursday, July 12), please bring your family for a night of fellowship and fun at Four Winds Field as the South Bend Cubs take on the Beloit Snappers. This year, the entire Performance Center has been reserved exclusively for University Relations. This venue overlooks the field from the right-field wall and offers patio and indoor seating for our team to enjoy the game. In addition to our seats in the Performance Center, we will also have seats reserved for our group in Section 102.

Tickets to the game will distributed at the ballpark. Please look for our table set up outside the gate. Gates will open at 6:00 pm and a buffet-style meal will be provided from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm on the lower level of the Performance Center with the game beginning at 7:05 pm. The batting cages will be available at no charge and everyone in attendance will receive a South Bend Cubs baseball hat. In addition, the children’s splash park and playground will be available free of charge and the bounce house area is available at a cost of $6 per person.

Please take a moment now to review your calendar invite and verify the total number of guests in your party. To do this, simply click into the calendar invite and click on the EDIT NOTE / GUESTS box located next to the RSVP box in the top right hand corner. Under Additional Guests, please enter your guests and in the Note section, please identify how many children will be in your group. Please note that you will not be able to make this change via your phone. We look forward to seeing you there!

Hello again.

Our colleague John Lloyd has accepted a position with the Office of General Counsel here at Notre Dame. He will transition into his new role effective August 1, 2018.

Following a career in private law practice, John returned to his alma mater four years ago as Academic Advancement Director at the Notre Dame Law School. During his tenure, John has faithfully served Dean Nell Newton, the faculty of the Law School, Development, fundraisers, and University donors. He has leveraged his acute understanding of the Law School to increase awareness of its distinct nature with our constituents, expand the donor base, and meaningfully move forward the annual giving program. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Notre Dame London Law Program and prepare for celebration of the Law School’s 150th anniversary, we have John to thank for navigating effectively how to best engage our external constituents in these significant anniversaries.

While this move will take John away from our team, he remains ‘under the Dome’…..more literally now than ever. Please join me in wishing John well in this new role.

Thanks for your attention,

Michael Loungo
