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,

I cannot begin to thank each of you for your overwhelming support and kindnesses shown not only to me, but to my family as well, during my recent surgeries and recuperation period.  We are genuinely touched!  Your thoughts and prayers were truly felt and have carried us through this process thus far.  God is good!  We are thankful beyond words to be surrounded by a wonderful and caring ND family.  I appreciate all of you and look forward to expressing my gratitude in person.  You are absolutely the best!!!

With love, thankfulness and appreciation,

Terry
