Dear Colleagues:

I am happy to introduce Liz Johnson as the newest member of the Special Events & Stewardship team. Serving as a program director, Liz will be responsible for partnering with the Corporate and Foundation Relations team and the Academic Advancement directors on stewardship efforts and best practices.

Liz brings with her a wealth of experience in higher education and corporate philanthropy. As the Vice President of Advancement at St. Ursula Academy in Cincinnati, she was responsible for the marketing, programming, alumnae engagement, and fundraising efforts. As the Director of Income Development at the American Cancer Society, she was responsible for an $8 million portfolio consisting of foundations, corporations and individuals. Liz graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in communications studies and earned a Master of Science in Sport and Wellness Leadership from Austin Peay State University.

Liz and her husband Mike moved to South Bend earlier this year when Mike accepted an associate volleyball coaching position with the University. They now reside in Granger with their three children – Jamie (7), Harper (5), and Noah (1).

Please join me in welcoming Liz to the Notre Dame family.

Warm regards,

Katherine
