Dear UR Family,

It is with bittersweet emotion that I announce Lori Rush’s decision to retire at the end of September.

Lori has been a fixture in Development at Notre Dame for the past 33 years, and has dedicated 38 total years to the University. The impact that she has on our ability to connect with donors in meaningful ways is matched only by the impact that she has as a trusted colleague and true friend.

Lori began her career at Notre Dame in Career Services before moving to Development as the Assistant Director of what is today, ND Listens. After 22 years in that role, she transitioned and was promoted to Senior Data Analyst, leading all data-related items for mass communications in Annual Giving. We simply could not do what we do without her.

A heartfelt thank you to Lori for all her years of dedication – and for her generous notice, enabling us to plan next steps. Her last day will be September 30. Until then, please join us in wishing Lori the best in her retirement.

Cheers to a new chapter filled with plentiful travel, spicy food, and maybe even a purple Camaro!

Anneliese
