As we begin the Boldly Notre Dame Campaign, it is with a heavy heart that I tell you we will be saying a fond farewell to an outstanding fundraiser and a loyal Notre Dame son.  George Duke will be leaving the University of Notre Dame Development team effective 11/15/13.  For over 21 years, George has set a high standard of excellence in engaging individuals and he has helped many members of the Notre Dame family find opportunities to share their time, talent and treasure with the University in order to help Notre Dame achieve its mission.  George will be joining Emmanuel College in Boston as VP of Alumni Relations and Development.  It is an incredible opportunity for George right in his back yard of Boston.

George began his career with Notre Dame in Corporate Relations in 1992.  He then made the move over to Regional Development choosing the Boston area as his home base in order to build out his own territory for Notre Dame.  He will leave an unparalleled legacy of production and engagement in the New England area.  His reputation with his donors is impeccable.  As a student, an alumnus, a ND parent and an associate, George Duke has always been a Notre Dame man and, I have no doubt, he will face this next chapter with the style and passion that has served Our Lady’s University so well.  Please join me in congratulating George on his new endeavor and thank him for his service to Notre Dame.

In Notre Dame,

Michael McLaughlin
