Team,

We are excited to share an update on our upcoming integrated work environment plans.  The next phase will be a remodel of a portion of our Regional Development area, creating a shared work environment for certain fundraisers.  A huge thank you to all fundraisers who have agreed to use this as their home-base: Kevin Deeth, Shannon Forry, Mark Futa, Giovana Heeter, Lynn Hubert, Janet Jessup, Bill Kempf, Riley Koval, Ron Linczer, Tom Molnar, Jesse Meyer, Darrell Paulsen, Tara Reilly, Dan Santucci, Steve Sollmann, Aaron Wall.  

 

We anticipate the work being done in mid January once the products arrive, and should only take a week to complete.  Stay tuned for additional details on how we will adjust while the work takes place.

 

Attached are two files.  One is an ESC floorplan with the location of this new space highlighted in yellow.  It is essentially located from the current offices of Deeth, Heeter, Reynolds, and Meyer toward the west windows. The second attachment includes renderings of the products and layout for this phase. 

 

The plan moving forward from the work in January is to complete additional phases throughout the west side of the ESC office.  We will continue to “do, learn, do.”  Please reach out to a member of the Integrated Work Environment Committee with any questions.

Please congratulate Theresa Fry on her new role as Marketing Communications Assistant at the Notre Dame Law School, effective Monday, December 3, 2018.  Theresa joins the Law School from her current position as Law School Advancement Coordinator. As part of the Law School’s Marketing Communications Department, she will contribute to a team that produces the publications and marketing materials, manages planning and marketing for events, and maintains the website and social media, of the Law School.

Theresa joined Development as the academic advancement coordinator in November 2016, where she facilitated development efforts for the Notre Dame Law School alumni, supported the Law School’s Academic Advancement Director, and worked on the execution of a wide range of Law School events.

Theresa graduated from Indiana University, and is currently a member of IU’s Bicentennial Advisory Committee.  She brought to Notre Dame experience as business manager for Augusta RV in Elkhart, as well as her time in our university community as Women’s Golf Coach at St. Mary’s College.  From 2010 to 2015, Theresa served as the assistant race director for Sunburst Races, South Bend’s largest community event, and she continues to serve on the steering committee for the race.

This new role will bring Theresa closer to the Notre Dame Law School, and we are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate in the future with her and her team, for the benefit of the Law School and Notre Dame.

Please congratulate Theresa on this next step in her career, and look for her on the quad as she continues as a member of our community.

Please welcome Rubén Medina to his new role as a fundraiser on the South team.  Rubén joins the South Region team from his current position on our Global Advancement team.  As part of the South Region team, Rubén will serve as a front line fundraiser supporting the University’s development efforts in Latin America.

Rubén brings to this new role significant experience at the University, including work in Undergraduate Admissions and Notre Dame International.  During his time on the Global Advancement team, Rubén helped define and develop a geographic focus to the University’s fundraising efforts in Latin America; built and refined a portfolio of prospects; and through diligence and collaboration with his generous colleagues in Regional Development, made significant progress in his fundraising skills and acumen.  This role represents a natural next step in Rubén’s career in Development and continues our efforts to mainstream fundraising outside of the United States by aligning as appropriate, with our domestic fundraising structures and practices.

Rubén graduated from Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering with a second major in Japanese, and is currently completing his Master of Science in Finance at Mendoza.

Please congratulate Rubén, and join us in thanking him for his collaborative spirit.

In gratitude,

Marty Harshman

As you are aware, we are having issues with our coffee makers and water coolers in the Eddy Street Office. These problems stem from both our heavy use of the equipment and a building wide issue with the water pressure. The maintenance staff at Kite is aware of the problem and they are looking into solutions to the low water pressure issue. Please be patient with the coffee makers and water coolers until a solution is found. Thank you!
