This Sunday, we will send undergraduate alumni a 100X listening exercise as a follow-up to our Notre Dame is Listening initiative from 2017. From this listening exercise, we aim to learn more about how our alumni base feels about Notre Dame, both in general and regarding giving back. This email will come from Lou and responses will be handled by the Annual Giving team. If any assigned prospects reach out with concerns or specific feedback, we will elevate as needed.

It is time to roll up your sleeves to save a life-or 3, AND have someone else donate $5 to Harper AND get a choice $10 gift card for yourself.

Conveniently located in Harper Hall parking lot.
