Welcome Alison Udall, Development Coordinator

It is a pleasure to welcome Alison Udall to the Regional Administration team. Alison received her Masters of Human Rights Practice from the University of Arizona and her Bachelors of International Studies: Economics and Political Development as well as a BA in Spanish from Idaho State University.

Alison is the Vice-President and co-founder of her own nonprofit, Rebuild for Peace, where she coordinated the creation and implementation of 15 vocational, peacebuilding, and entrepreneurial learning centers throughout rural areas of the Kingdom of Jordan. In her role as VP, she has had experience with fundraising initiatives and the management of donor retention and stewardship efforts. Alison will be a great addition to our team.

Alison’s husband, Christopher, has been admitted to the Mendoza College of Business MBA program, and they come to us from Mesa, Arizona. Alison and Christopher are looking forward to becoming members of the Notre Dame community and family.

Please join me in welcoming Alison!

100X Alumni Listening Exercise

This Sunday, we will send undergraduate alumni a 100X listening exercise as a follow-up to our Notre Dame is Listening initiative from 2017. From this listening exercise, we aim to learn more about how our alumni base feels about Notre Dame, both in general and regarding giving back. This email will come from Lou and responses will be handled by the Annual Giving team. If any assigned prospects reach out with concerns or specific feedback, we will elevate as needed.

Please let me know of any questions!
