I am pleased to announce that Caitlin Hutchison has been promoted to Program Director for University Stewardship Initiatives, effective August 5th. In this new role, Caitlin will serve as the stewardship partner to the College of Arts & Letters, manage the Endowed Professorships and Directorships program within the Stewardship & Donor Relations team, and supervise a new Assistant Director who will be hired in the coming weeks to backfill her current role.

Caitlin has done an excellent job over the past year serving in the Assistant Program Director position for University Stewardship Initiatives, responsible for stewardship partnerships in the Keough School and the Arts & Architecture units. Caitlin has a firm understanding of our processes, an enthusiasm for working with University partners and benefactors through celebrations and other stewardship activities, and a quest to always learn more and seek better ways of doing our work. Further, with her academic credentials as a Ph.D. and having worked as an assistant professor of art history, Caitlin will serve Development and our benefactors well in partnering with academic units around the utilization and reporting on endowed professorships and directorships. All of these qualities and qualifications will serve her well in this next step, and I hope you will join me in enthusiastically welcoming Caitlin into her new role.

The posting for Assistant Program Director for University Stewardship Initiatives will soon be added to the jobs.nd.edu website. Please contact Caitlin or me as soon as possible if you are interested in exploring the Assistant Program Director position.
