Friends and Colleagues,

I write to you all today to share the truly bittersweet news that Ray Herring will leave Notre Dame on July 17th to take on an incredible new opportunity at Rutgers University as their Assistant Vice President for Athletics Development and Senior Associate Athletics Director. In this role, Ray will lead a team of 12 and will oversee the University’s athletics fundraising efforts.

Ray and I started together as Tier 1 fundraisers six years ago, and he’s been a phenomenal fundraiser, teammate, leader, and friend every step of the way. In service of Our Lady, he’s raised over $43M, and his efforts will leave a legacy for years to come.

Please join me in congratulating Ray on this exciting new opportunity and in expressing my gratitude for all he’s done for our department and the University at large.

Riley
