I’d like you all to welcome our new Arts & Architecture AAD, Hilary Ott! Hilary is joining us from New York City where she worked for more than 3 years as a Private Sales Accounts Manager at Christie’s. She received her Master of Arts in Art Business from Sotheby’s Institute of Art in New York and has been working in the city ever since – beginning with an internship at the Guggenheim, to Sotheby’s before landing a few different roles at Christie’s. Her extensive background in the arts and humanities, and relationship building makes her a great fit for this role. As a Domer from the class of 2013, she is not new to Notre Dame, but we are happy that she is back in South Bend.

As the Arts & Architecture AAD, Hilary will be responsible for driving philanthropy to DPAC, Snite/Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, and the School of Architecture. As you all know, I am looking forward to passing the baton into her more than capable hands. Her first day in Development will be Monday, January 30, 2023 – the start of fundraiser training week. Please say hi and introduce yourself throughout the week.

We are thrilled to have Hilary join the team!
