Given the fantastic start to the Fighting Irish football season and the increased demand driven by this success, we have asked Cristi Ganyard to step into a temporary role with the University Relations Special Events team beginning this week until the end of football season.

Working with Mary Andersen and her team, Cristi will lend her talents to the planning, organization and communications around Special Events with the goal of ensuring the team’s high standards of excellence during this busy season.

Cristi has worked with the Senior Philanthropic Adviser’s office since 2009, coordinating a variety of engagement events for the Women and Philanthropy initiative.  This past June, Cristi was instrumental in the success of the Parseghian Classic at Pebble Beach fundraiser for NP-C research.

In Cristi’s absence from the Senior Philanthropic Adviser’s office, a temporary employee will be brought in to assist with Gift Agreement processing, coordinating liaison activities with the academic units supported by our office, and providing general administrative support.

Please contact me should you have any questions.
