Annual Giving Team Announcement 

Posted on by

Colleagues, I am pleased to share that Lindahl Chase, Associate Director of the Sorin Society, will now also  be leading the Donor Experience Team within Annual Giving. As you know, this team, comprised of Kristin Trosper, Shannon Longo, and Darlean Vance, are the front line interface for giving society members when it comes to acknowledgements, events, and day-to-day customer service requests. They are invaluable to the work we all do in raising increased unrestricted and giving society revenue for the University, and the service they provide to our members is a key value-add for our member experience. Through Jonathan Retartha’s previous leadership, this team has advanced their processes and outcomes greatly, and I know that, under Lindahl’s leadership, they will continue to make significant strides.

Since joining the Annual Giving team in 2013, Lindahl has taken on increased levels of responsibility, delivering significant unrestricted philanthropy to the University while being a role model of accountability, trust, and teamwork. I am thrilled to have her step into this leadership role, in addition to her oversight of the Sorin Society and Notre Dame Fund, as we continue to reach for new milestones in the Annual Giving Space .
Best,
Brian

Explore the Chapels of Notre Dame This Advent Season

Posted on by

Dear UR colleagues,

As you may remember from last year, the Alumni Association took our ND family on a prayerful Advent journey through 23 of our beautiful and beloved Notre Dame chapels. The campaign resulted in 173,000 video views over the course of the season. This Advent, we continue through a new collection of chapels, including the oldest and the newest chapels on campus.

We will again share a short video from a different campus chapel each day introduced by a student or another member of the Notre Dame community. During each chapel visit, we will offer a passage from that day’s Gospel or Scripture reading at Mass, to center individual thoughts and to guide reflections. Then we will leave the viewer with a few quiet moments for meditation or prayer in each space.

There are several ways for you and our alumni and friends to receive the daily reflection:

  • Get a daily reminder by texting Advent to 51555

  • Subscribe to FaithND’s Daily Gospel Reflection email

  • Follow along on Facebook or Twitter

  • Visit the website chapelsof.nd.edu, which will be updated daily

How can you help?

  • Personally re-share our Chapels of Notre Dame social media messages over the next few weeks so we can reach as many members of the ND family as possible…. and beyond!

Thank you, and have a blessed Advent season.

Dolly Duffy

Executive Director
Notre Dame Alumni Association
