UR Team –

It is with a heavy heart that I write to let you know that Ria Kapluck will be leaving NDAA in mid-August to begin the next chapter in her career. Those who know Ria, understand what a loss this is for us, and those who do not know Ria – who am I kidding; everyone knows Ria!

Ria joined us in the Alumni Association back in 2014 as a myNotreDame Support Coordinator. Through the years she grew through multiple roles, before becoming our current Interactive Specialist in early 2022, having been instrumental in the successful migration of myNotreDame to Hivebrite. She led reporting efforts, supported the NDAA Board, assisted with every NDAA event, and even emceed the annual Christmas Party. Her servant leader approach, extreme attention to detail, and unwillingness to accept less than perfect solutions fostered wonderful relationships with our Clubs and Affinity Groups, the NDAA Board, and of course all of us.

While Ria will still be with us for two more months, please take a moment to wish her the best as she wraps up her work with us and plans her next steps.

John
