It is my honor and pleasure to welcome Javonte Lipsey to the Central Region team as a Regional Director.  Javonte joins us after completing his PhD in Sports Management at the Ohio State University.  Javonte is originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan, and ran the 400 M hurdles at the University of North Carolina (although he is not as fast as Bill Ribera).  Javonte has a 1-year old puppy named Nala who has joined him in South Bend.  Javonte is honored to join the Notre Dame family and the Central Region team.

Welcome, Javonte!

Dear Colleagues,

The second fall renewal mailing (renew #2) is dropping in mailboxes starting Friday, September 9th to all our unrestricted and giving society benefactors. As a reminder, this mailing is sent to all assigned and unassigned benefactors whose annual giving is less than $25,000, asking them to renew their previous calendar year gift by their respective fund owner. This mailing is being sent to over 23,000 households and will be followed by email reminders in the weeks to come. If you have any questions regarding our renewal strategy, please reach out to the appropriate fund (Sorin, Rockne, Law, etc.) owner on the annual giving team and they can assist.

Thanks!
Annual Giving Team

All,

As we gear up for football season and calendar year-end, I want to share two updates from Advancement Services:

Lana Taylor, who has been a pivotal member of the Advancement Services and Development teams for 3.5 years, will join the Internal Engagement team effective September 12. In this new role, she will continue her high-level coordination of division-wide events (ie UR Summit, Blueprints, Shindigs, Immersion Day, Christmas party, etc.), manage the contract process for Advancement Services departments, and support the Learning and Organizational talent team with coordinating and logistics for onboarding and professional development events and meetings. I am thrilled to have Lana continue her meaningful service to our team in this new role, reporting to James Riley and a dotted line to me on division-wide events.

We will soon be posting a new role for a Development Associate, reporting to me. In addition to providing administrative support for me and the Senior Directors on the Advancement Services team, this associate will assist with scheduling interviews and hiring for Advancement Services positions, manage facility and space needs for Grace Hall, and support the Gift Management team in ongoing and peak times with donor communications, gift preparation, etc. This role will be posted internal only this week. Please contact me or Adria Logan if you have an interest!

Best,
Brian

Information Technology and Services is happy to announce that Patrick Rader will be joining the Integration Services team.

Patrick is joining us as a Systems Integration Professional starting September 6th. Patrick will start with a focus on the Ascend project helping lead the migration of our data from CrmND to Ascend. Patrick has been with Notre Dame since 2009 working in Hesburgh Libraries. His previous position as Library Application Management and Integration Specialist leads well into the work we do on our integration team. Prior to that, he was the Media Digitization Production Coordinator overseeing daily operations of media digitization and streaming services.

We are grateful that Patrick has chosen to join us and excited about the skills he is adding to our team. Thank you for your help in supporting Patrick to have a successful experience with us in University Relations.
