The third fall renewal mailing (renew #3) drops in mailboxes on Wednesday, October 16, to 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 19,000 households and will be followed by email reminders in the coming weeks. 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 will assist you.

Thanks!

It is my pleasure to welcome Jacqueline Holman to the Stewardship & Donor Relations team as an Assistant Director, University Stewardship Initiatives. Jacqueline’s first day will be Monday, October 14th, and she will be the programmatic stewardship partner for the Keough School of Global Affairs, the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, the School of Architecture, the Debartolo Performing Arts Center, and Notre Dame Global.

Jacqueline is a graduate of Western Michigan University with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Marketing. She brings over 10 years of experience in donor relations and stewardship, including the execution of endowment and impact reporting and the organization of donor-centered events. Before joining the Notre Dame Stewardship and Donor Relations team, she served previously as the Stewardship and Donor Relations Coordinator at Ferris State University (MI) and the Assistant Director of Stewardship at Eckerd College (FL). We look forward to the wealth of experience that Jacqueline will bring to the position, which will serve both her and the University very well as a stewardship partner to our academic units.

Please join me in offering a warm welcome to Jacqueline Holman as she joins the University Relations family.

OIT has decided to roll back the Business Objects upgrade from this weekend due to issues with user access. Business Objects will be restored to the backups created just before Saturday’s upgrade. Any modifications made to reports or schedules since Saturday will need to be reapplied. The restoration process has started and is expected to take several hours to complete, during which Business Objects will remain offline.

Please note that reports scheduled to run between Saturday morning and today may rerun, resulting in duplicate reports this morning. You can ignore these duplicates.

Additionally, today’s Office Hours at 3:00pm and Wednesday’s Tech Talk Live at 1:30pm will be postponed.
