If you had trouble getting into the Eddy Street garage this morning (message of Access Denied) the situation has been resolved and your card has been reset.

If you pulled a ticket in order to get into the garage, please turn that in to the front desk before you leave today. Your pass will get you out of the garage. Sorry for any inconvenience this problem may have caused.

It’s that time of year again, so brush off your broomsticks and get ready for the annual Development Halloween Spooktacular! On Wednesday, October 23rd from 4:00-6:00pm, bring your little monsters to campus for an evening of trick-or-treating through the Development offices. We’ll have games, activities, prizes, and of course, lots of sweet treats! This year, we’ll be moving the festivities over to the 11th and 10th floors of the ghoulish Grace Hall, and we need your help to make this the best Halloween yet. Take a look at the available spaces below, and let either Pam Mullin or Grace Prosniewski know which you and your team would like to decorate. Rooms will go on a first come, first served basis, so let us know ASAP. Please also let Pam or Grace know if you are willing to serve as a volunteer to help guide trick-or-treaters through the office.

Colleagues,

I am both pleased and sad to share with you that Josh Stowe has accepted a new position with the Keough School of Global Affairs as a Senior Content Specialist. Josh has been with the Alumni Association for a number of years, and I’m excited for him as he takes this next step in his career. Josh has been the voice of the NDAA in many of our written communications—from Echoes to We Are ND, and in marketing every event from Reunion to Football Fridays. His presence on our team will be missed mightily.

At Keough, Josh will manage communications strategy and content development for the school, with a primary focus on content involving global religion and public policy issues. This position will work closely with the Ansari Institute for Global Engagement with Religion and the Keough School’s Washington Office.

Please join me in congratulating Josh. His last date with the NDAA will be October 11 and we expect to post the position yet this week. If you are interested or know of any stellar copywriters you would like to tell about the position, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best,
Bill Gangluff
