Farewell to Emily Mishler

Posted on by

It is with both gratitude and sadness that I announce Emily Mishler’s resignation from the Regional Administrative team. After much self-reflection and prayer upon completing the Master of Non-Profit Administration within Mendoza College of Business, Emily has decided to pursue interests outside of the University to which she feels called at this time.

 

Emily has been a valued member of the Department of Development for the past two years. As an Assistant Director within the Special Events & Stewardship team, her creativity and commitment to innovation showed brightly with her work on a variety of events and strategic initiatives including Wall Street, Campaign, the Advisory Council program, Dedications, Presidential Events, strategic Principal Stewardship efforts, Commencement, the President’s Circle, and various other Development and University initiatives. Emily has been instrumental to the success of over 500 events and many deepened relationships throughout her time with the University. She has continued to facilitate these relationships directly through her work with three Regional Directors in her role as an Administrative Assistant within Regional Development.

With gratitude, please join me in thanking Emily for her contributions to our team and wishing her all the best as she pursues her next chapter. Emily’s final day in the office will be Tuesday, September 4th.

Rockne Recap- August 2018

Posted on by
The Rockne Recap – August 2018
The month of August has been filled with opportunities to connect with AD Circle and Jesse Harper Council members. What better way is there to wrap up Summer 2018?

Thank you for your continued support of Notre Dame Athletics. We so enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate Fighting Irish student-athletes with many of you this month. For those who couldn’t make these last few events, we missed you! Please find some highlights from the month below. We hope to see you all here on campus this Fall.

Women’s Golf Foreign Tour

The month kicked off in Scotland and Northern Ireland with Notre Dame Women’s Golf. This international trip featured rounds on six of the top golf courses in the world, breathtaking views, and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to all Jesse Harper Council and AD Circle members for making this unforgettable experience a reality for our student-athletes!

Thank you to the Keyes and Harris families for their support in making this trip possible.
PGA Championship Experience
The golf excitement extended beyond Scotland and Ireland, as members of the Jesse Harper Council and AD Circle headed to Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis for our PGA Championship VIP Experience. The event included VIP and ground access to the Championship, opportunities to meet with Pete Bevacqua ’93 (former CEO of PGA of America; current President of NBC Sports), evening receptions, and of course – witnessing a truly heart-racing final round. Thank you to all who joined us for this incredible event!

Football Practice at Culver Academy
August at Notre Dame wouldn’t be complete without Fighting Irish Football Camp. A dozen Jesse Harper Council, AD Circle, and football endowment benefactors enjoyed breakfast at the home of Culver Academies Board of Trustee, Mike Wilcox, attended football’s morning practice, and joined the team and staff for lunch in the dining hall. The group was also able to spend time speaking with both Coach Kelly and Jack Swarbrick before boarding the afternoon bus back to South Bend.  Thank you to those who attended this behind-the-scenes experience with ND Football!

Thanks from Kathy Lentych

Dear friends and colleagues, on behalf of myself and the Klaybor family, thank you for all of your support during this difficult time. Losing our dear mother, Mary Jane Klaybor, has left us heartbroken. We have been comforted by all of your prayers, love, kind words, cards, and flowers and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. During her visitation and services, my father commented: “I must have met 300 people from Notre Dame”. Well not 300, but the presence of the Notre Dame Family was overwhelming and truly appreciated. Saying thank you is just not enough, but please know everything meant a lot to us.

Fall 2018 Technical Training Classes

Posted on by

The Fall 2018 schedule of technical training classes is here!  We’ve restructured some classes to make them shorter and added some exciting new ones. All these classes are currently available through Endeavor.nd.edu.

Google Drive classes are now 2 hours rather than 3 and we’ve added a new class—Working in Docs, Sheets, and Slides— for people interested in working in Google’s version of Microsoft Office.

Excel 2016 Basic class has been split into two sections—Introduction to Excel and Formulas and Functions. This is the same 7-hour class, but taught as two 3.5-hour sessions that you register for separately.

Other new classes:

Qualtrics classes

We have added two Level II courses (Contact Lists and Embedded Data and Working with Responses) and one Level III course (Workflow).

Data Governance Boot Camp

Learn what data governance is, why it is important to Notre Dame and how it ensures more consistent use of data.

Preparing your Digital Media Files

Learn to prepare your media files for use in media creation programs. This class will show how to perform specific functions (such as trimming video and audio files, capturing still shots from videos, and more) in a number of different applications.

Also added are multiple sections of the most popular classes: Moving from Excel to Sheets and Adobe Spark: Tell Your Story in Posts, Pages and Videos. These classes fill up fast so be sure to register early.

As always, feel free to contact the OIT technical training team with questions or for assistance at 1-7227 or training@nd.edu.
