Please Read – Email Signature Composing Format Change

Dear Colleagues,

This message is to inform you that at 5 p.m. today, July 30, you will notice the signature block in your Notre Dame Gmail will have a different format when you compose a message. This is a result of our switch to a new department-wide email signature service provider.

PLEASE NOTE:

1. Do not be alarmed when you see the original design format and image
banner of your email signature block disappear and look like this:

[[+]]
name: Lin Wang
title: Program Director
office: 574-631-4961
mobile: 574-339-1272
department: Department of Development
group: Storytelling and Engagement
address: 1251 N. Eddy Street, Suite 300
city: South Bend
state: IN
zip: 46617
[[+]]

The actual signature design shows when the recipient opens your message, but does not show when you compose your message. You can test it by sending a message to your non-ND email. You might want to refresh and clear browser cache if you don’t see the above change happen automatically.

2. Please check the accuracy of your information – name, title, group (team), phone number(s), and address. Please note that you are able to make correction in the Gmail signature setting area on your own if anything is incorrect.

3. We are only able to push the signature to your NetID email address. To apply the signature to your preferred alias email address(es), please copy and paste the whole signature block (like above, with [[+]]) from the NetID email to your alias email in the Gmail signature setting area. You can copy and paste the block on your mobile device email servers as well, if you use mobile devices for work emails.

Thank you for your attention. Please reach out to Lin Wang (1-4961) if you have any questions.

Announcing Mary Flynt, LOD Associate

Colleagues-

I am pleased to announce that Mary Flynt will be joining University Relations as our new Learning and Organizational Development (LOD) Associate. I look forward to her partnership in elevating LOD impact, advancing the UR mission, and embodying Notre Dame values. Most notably, Mary will be upgrading and leading onboarding- a program that impacted over 90 positions last fiscal year. (Special thanks to Linda Klaybor who is wonderfully bridging the onboarding gap between Gretchen Neely’s retirement and Mary’s eventual leadership.)

Mary joins us after four years in the Meruelo Family Center for Career Development (CCD), where she most recently served as experiential program manager. In this role, Mary oversaw the student internship funding program and helped manage several mentor programs, including Hesburgh Women of Impact and the Cavanaugh Council/President’s Circle. She served as the CCD’s primary administrator for IrishCompass, where she partnered with the Alumni Association on the ideation, strategy, implementation, and governance of the University’s professional development community. She also coordinated initiatives open to all students such as the JCPenney Suit-Up, industry career treks and employer mock interviews.

Prior to working in the CCD, Mary worked on the MBA admissions team in the Mendoza College of Business. She graduated from Ave Maria University in 2013 with a degree in business administration. When she’s not spending time with her large family, Mary is often attempting new sewing projects, going to concerts, adjusting to home ownership, volunteering as the St. Monica parish wedding coordinator, and making new friends with everyone she meets. Her husband Josh is also a member of UR, working on the marketing team in the Alumni Association.

You will be blessed to quickly introduce yourself to Mary as she begins her new role on Tuesday, August 6.

For Notre Dame,

Bryan Reaume

Announcement about the Clubs Team for UR Today

I want to share some news with you about two members of the Clubs Team. First of all, Laura Midkiff will be resigning he position as the Clubs Program Director at the Alumni Association effective Aug. 2nd. Please read Laura’s note to you all below…
After much discernment and prayer, I have decided to resign my position at the Alumni Association in order to spend more time with my lovely husband Dale. Dale and I are looking forward to the next chapter in our lives together and we are considering a move closer to my family on the East coast. While we haven’t made any final plans, our immediate next steps will be to spend the remainder of the Summer and much of the Fall traveling in New England. Consequently my last day here will be August 2nd. I have truly appreciated the opportunity to work closely with such an amazingly talented team, and to get to know you all on a personal level.
I want to wish Laura and Dale the best on the next part of their journey together!
Speaking of next chapters…I’m excited to announce that Ellie Kuhns will be promoted to the role of Clubs Program Director. During her three years as Clubs Program Manager for the NDAA, Ellie has built strong relationships with the network of C-F sized clubs, managed the UND Celebrations program and Club Football Ticket program and shaped away game club programming. Her commitment and dedication to the domestic club network will be vital as we begin implementation of Club Review recommendations and the transition to myND3. Ellie’s humble leadership and passion for the work of the Alumni Association has made an impression on everyone she encounters. Please join me in congratulating Ellie on her new role!
