Please join me in welcoming Sara Kassen back to Development as our new director for stewardship communications. Sara is excited to return to her work family, as she was previously part of the Stewardship & Donor Relations team from 2007-16. During that time she was involved in acknowledgments, reports, financial aid stewardship, public recognition, and events. Most recently, she split her time between freelance communications consulting and stay-at-home mom activities. Sara has a knack for editing, loves creative communication pieces, and is excited to call upon her days in broadcasting to help further connect benefactors to the mission of Notre Dame. She and her husband, Sean, live in Granger with daughters Lydia (12) and Neve (10) and a gigantic dog named Nebula. Sara joins us on Monday, October 25.

In Notre Dame,

Katherine Lane
