It is my pleasure to welcome our colleague, Geoff Stookey to the Academic and Athletic Annual Giving team as an Associate Director, Leadership Annual Giving. Geoff comes highly regarded among colleagues across the division and we know his love for Notre Dame (not to mention his tremendous Notre Dame Story – be sure to ask him if you have not heard it), his work ethic and dedication to his team, and his passion for athletics (Go Irish, Go Zags, and Go Braves!) will serve him well in this new role!

Geoff most recently served the division as Sr. Financial Analyst on the Resource Strategy and Administration team. Geoff is the consummate teammate – always working hard and willing to lend a hand and share his expertise. He does that and more and never wants to take credit. A huge thank you to Geoff for all he has done – he will be missed dearly by the RS&A team! And we couldn’t be more thrilled for Geoff to share his talents in this new way with UR! Geoff’s first day in his new role will be Wednesday, September 1st.

Any budget, financial, position management related questions that Geoff typically fields and can be directed to Rachel Parks and Kathryn Valenti. With Geoff’s transition, we will be redesigning the role into a Director of Finance position. If you know any talented folks interested in such a position, please contact Kathryn.

Kasey O’Connor and Kathryn Valenti
