I’m writing to share the bittersweet news that Jonathan Retartha has been appointed as the new Director of Housing at Notre Dame. In this role, he will no doubt bring his unmatched accountability and his abiding love of process improvement to serve Our Lady’s University in new and meaningful ways.
Jonathan has been an integral member of the Annual Giving team for the last five years. Since 2016, he has served as the Manager of the Donor Experience Team, which provides Giving Society members with a best-in-class concierge service. In this role, Jonathan also led Development’s efforts to continue the conversation with the 15,000+ alumni, parents, and friends who submitted feedback as part of the “Notre Dame is Listening” initiative. Unsurprisingly, Jonathan represented the University with class and grace, assuring these ND family members that they were valued and heard.
While we’re grateful that Jonathan will not be going far — and are excited for him to put his skills to use in this new role — we will undoubtedly miss his dedication, tenacity, and faithfulness to Notre Dame’s mission on our team. We are hopeful, however, that he will assist us in April by making a cameo appearance in the Social Media Lounge on Notre Dame Day!
Please join me in congratulating Jonathan and wishing him well as he begin this new professional adventure!
