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.

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,

Athletics Advancement would like to welcome four new team members (Brian Benedict, Sean Carroll, Marie Labosky, and Matt Weldy) and congratulate a current staff member on a new position (Kevin Nugent).

Kevin Nugent ‘13, after serving six years as an Associate Director, will transition to a Regional Director fundraising role. In the past five years, Kevin has been instrumental in the creation and execution of stewardship programming and marketing materials for Athletics benefactors.

Joining Kevin as Regional Directors on the Athletics Advancement team will be Brian Benedict ’13 and Marie Labosky ‘04.

Brian transitions to the team after serving two successful years as an Associate Director in Annual Giving, where he raised critical funds for Giving Societies. Prior to that role, Brian was instrumental in the sales of Notre Dame Stadium club and loge seating as a member of the Legends team.

Marie returns to Notre Dame as a 2004 graduate and four-year monogram winner on the women’s swim team. For the last six years, she has excelled in a sales and marketing role with Speedo, based out of Philadelphia.

As regional assignments and metro areas of coverage for Brian, Kevin and Marie are finalized, we will share them with the larger UR team.

Also as you may be aware, we are integrating the Monogram Club into Athletics Advancement, and are fortunate to have Matt Weldy ’09 (IU), the Executive Director of the Monogram Club, leading those efforts. Matt will lead and oversee all engagement, strategic initiatives, and Club activities for over 9,000 Monogram winners and team participants. Matt has served the Monogram Club since 2015 when he came on staff as an Associate Director, and prior to that role served in the Camps Office for Athletics.

Sean Carroll ’02 (IU) has been a part of the Notre Dame family since 2004, working in various roles with Athletics Communication, and in recent years, the Monogram Club. He will transition to serve both the Monogram Club and Athletics Advancement as the Associate Director leading the teams’ efforts in communications, marketing, and storytelling. He will also work to coordinate the organization’s efforts to work with other Development and Athletics partners in areas such as stewardship and event management.

Congratulations and welcome to Sean, Matt, Marie, Brian and Kevin on their new roles with our team. We are excited to see your talents at work in advancing Notre Dame’s mission through the vehicle of Athletics.

—Sara Liebscher
SR. DIRECTOR, ATHLETICS ADVANCEMENT

I am excited to announce that Leah Corachea has accepted a new role as Associate Director, Annual Giving. In this role as a fundraiser within Annual Giving, Leah will meet and work with benefactors in targeted areas to increase giving society revenue.

Leah is a 2014 graduate of Notre Dame. She has been working in Development since August 2014 and most recently as Assistant Director, ND Listens & ND Parents. Her extraordinary work ethic and dedication to Our Lady’s mission will ensure her success in this new role.

Please join me in congratulating Leah!

All my best,

Ashley Gerard

Staff,

Hello again.

Jay and Lindsey are home now and continue to express thanks for the prayers and support.

A funeral service will be held for their son John Gipson McAllister, on Friday, July 19th at 9:30am on campus at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, followed by burial at Cedar Grove Cemetary. All are welcome to both services. Please do share this update with Jay’s friends and colleagues, especially those outside University Relations and the Keough School, to ensure all know they are welcome to attend the services on Friday.

Thank you for the generous offers to help the family with meals. Food was sent for the weekend, with more scheduled for delivery for the next 10 days. We will provide more updates later.

Please advise if you have any questions.

In gratitude,

Michael Loungo

Please join us in congratulating William Mitchell, who has accepted the role of Associate Director, Athletics Annual Giving on the Annual Giving Team! We know that William will have an incredible impact on the lives of our Notre Dame student-athletes and athletics benefactors as he works to grow the Rockne Athletics Fund.

William will be focused on stewarding, renewing, upgrading, and recruiting Rockne Gold, Blue, Green, and Fund level donors and will work to further the collaboration between the Rockne Athletics Fund and the Monogram Club.

William brought a unique skill set to the Development Administration team, and he will be missed – especially his smile and his culinary insights! However, we think he has found his niche with Rockne.

William began his career at Notre Dame in Annual Giving working with Patti McLaughlin in the Law School Annual Fund where he exceeded expectations. He then joined Michael McLaughlin soon after and Michael’s daily experience at Notre Dame was always strengthened by William’s work ethic and conviction to make a positive impact. He will be an exceptional addition to the Athletics Advancement and Annual Giving teams.

He will start his new role on July 24. Congratulations, William, and Go Irish!

Attention all Development dog lovers! To promote our Five to Nine trial membership, as well as to spend some time with our furry friends in the sun, we’ll be hosting the first (of hopefully many) Domer Dogs Meet-Up this Saturday, July 13th. This is a fun opportunity to get to know your colleagues and their dogs. Please note that all dogs should be on leashes and up-to-date on their vaccinations. We’ll be meeting in front of Grace Hall at around 10:00am, and will proceed to take a walk around the lakes. If you’re interested in attending, please RSVP using the Five to Nine platform at this link:

https://notre-dame-development.fivetonine.community/events/domer-dogs-meet-up

We’re planning on having a special something for all the pups, so please do RSVP so that no one gets left in the doghouse!

Our sympathy and prayers are with Bill Kempf and his family on the passing of his father Paul Kempf.  Mr. Kempf passed away on July 7 at the VA hospital in Minneapolis holding his wife Lucille’s hand.  The hospital gave him the hero’s walk – where everyone who is able comes out of their room and salutes as he went by.

Visitation will be held on Friday, July 12, from 9:00-11:45 am at St. Michael Catholic Church, 16400 Duluth Avenue, SE, Prior Lake, Minnesota followed by Mass at 12:00 noon at the Church.

The full obituary is at this link: http://www.startribune.com/obituaries/detail/0000317201/

Please keep the Kempf family in your thoughts and prayers.

A little more about Kathryn: Kathryn will join the team on August 1 as Senior Director of Finance Administration and Strategy. Kathryn is a 2002 Notre Dame graduate with a degree in Accounting, as well as a 2007 Notre Dame MBA graduate with a concentration in Management. Prior to working at Notre Dame, Kathryn was an associate at PWC in New York. For the last nine years, she has worked as a program manager of strategic planning in the Office of Strategic Planning and Institutional Research, where she has been instrumental in the development and administration of the ImproveND survey and the annual Advancing the Greater Good report for officers and deans. She has worked across the University, helping colleges and units create strategic plans and metrics, as well as develop and implement peer review programs for administrative units. Prior to her time in OSPIR, Kathryn was a participant in the University’s Leadership Rotation Program and spent several years in the Office of the Provost providing executive advisory support.

She will bring to University Relations a depth of knowledge about the University, tremendous strategic planning and analysis skills, and a strong ability to tie financial management to strategic results. We look forward to welcoming her to the team!

Dear University Relations Family and Friends,

Our sympathy and prayers go out to our colleague Katy Orenchuk who over the weekend lost her father, Darl Hall.

Darl was a lifelong rail fan, and especially loved the Wabash River B&O railway bridge. The family is raising funds in Darl’s memory to install a wooden bench near the bridge so there might be a place where people can come together to remember him. If you would like to make a contribution, please follow this link.

Expressions of sympathy can be sent to Katy at her office address at Eddy Street Commons.
