Team,

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our 2024 Summer Intern Cohort! This summer, we are excited to welcome interns from a diverse array of backgrounds and academic disciplines. Each intern has been carefully selected for their unique skills and potential to contribute meaningfully to our projects. As they embark on this journey with us, they will be involved in a variety of tasks, gaining hands-on experience and contributing to the success of our department.

We encourage everyone in the office to extend a warm welcome to our new interns. This is a fantastic opportunity for both our colleagues and new interns to learn from each other. Whether it’s through a casual coffee chat, collaboration on project work, or a formal meeting, let’s make every effort to integrate them into our community. If you’d like to learn more about the interns and their work over the summer prior to connecting with them, please feel free to visit our google site UR Interns 2024. We are excited about the journey ahead and look forward to seeing the growth and achievements of our 2024 Summer Intern Cohort.

Welcome aboard, interns! We are delighted to have you with us.

After 16 years of service to Our Lady’s University, Roz Palusci will be retiring at the end of the fiscal year. Roz came to Notre Dame after a 28-year history in commercial banking, brokerage, and consulting.

While at Notre Dame she has served as Development Coordinator, Regional Associate, and Associate Program Director. In these roles, she partnered with some of our most successful RDs, leaders, and teams in Regional Development and has been an integral collaborator behind the scenes in our Wall Street efforts. (Not to mention that she did this all while pioneering remote work long before it was fashionable.)

In retirement, Roz is looking forward to spending more time with her husband, Vince, as well as their two children and four grandchildren. Along with lots of travel, Roz plans to take advantage of the vibrant culture of her beloved New York City.

Roz is going to miss the camaraderie and shared experiences with her coworkers but will be on campus June 6th and 7th to spend some non-virtual time with everyone. Please reach out to her to make sure you get to see her and congratulate her!

This week, there will be large bins available throughout the third floor of ESC and floors 10 and 11 in Grace Hall. Please use these bins to take some time to declutter your workspace and/or your assigned locker.

If you have items that you don’t want anymore but feel that they may be useful to someone else, please place these items on the table on the East wall in the Cafe (ESC) or on the large table when you first walk into the suite on 11S (Grace). Any items that are not taken will be sent to ND Surplus or disposed of on May 29th.

Finally, we will be bringing in an outside cleaning company during remote July to clean carpets, glass interiors and surfaces in private offices and cubicles. This decluttering effort is meant to start to prepare your spaces for this cleaning effort. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Patty Kokesh or Nancy Cole.

Dear Colleagues,

The third spring renewal mailing (renew #3) drops in mailboxes on Friday, May 17 to our unrestricted and giving society benefactors. As a reminder, this mailing is sent to all assigned and unassigned benefactors whose annual giving is less than $25,000, asking them to renew their previous calendar year gift by their respective fund owner. This mailing is being sent to over 5,000 households and will be followed by email reminders in the weeks to come. If you have any questions regarding our renewal strategy, please reach out to the appropriate fund (Sorin, Rockne, Law, etc.) owner on the annual giving team and they can assist.

Thanks!

Dear Colleagues,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Bill Doyle’s mother, Ann Doyle (October 29, 1938 – May 1, 2024).

During this difficult time, let us come together to support Bill, Mary Lynn and their family in any way possible.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate through this period of grief and loss.

As further information becomes available regarding arrangements, we will be sure to share those details according to Bill’s wishes.

Sincerely,
Nadia Erickson

Happy Birthday to all our UR colleagues celebrating their special day in May! We hope this new year brings you growth and happiness!

We are writing with an update regarding space in order to provide some clarity around what spaces are available and how to book these spaces. This map should help you locate where some of these areas are if you are unsure. We also wanted to provide an update regarding some of the new initiatives that are coming as it relates to space. As always, thank you for your patience as we work through these projects. Please don’t hesitate to provide feedback through Leadership is Listening or reach out to Patty Kokesh directly with questions. Now, on to the updates!

• Bookable Hot Desks:

We are excited to announce that desktop reservation is now available for Eddy Street, effective immediately!

You can now easily reserve a hot desk directly from go.nd.edu/ndrtango or via the Tango Reserve by AgilQuest mobile app, giving you the ability to choose the perfect spot, space, and time to optimize your productivity and collaboration. We ask that you do not book a hot desk for more than a week at a time. Please note that conference and huddle rooms are still to be booked via Google Calendar.

To help you get started, we’ve prepared a video guide demonstrating how to use the desktop reservation feature on the website and on the mobile app as well as step-by-step written instructions.

You can access those from the NDR – Tango Reservation folder on the Dev Resources shared drive or click on the links below.

• TangoReserve_Desktop Instructions (including links to videos)

• TangoReserve_Mobile Download Instructions and QR Code Reservations Video

Huge shoutout to Carleen Quinlan, Rose Michalski, Jeff Faust and Linda Klaybor for all of their help on this project.

• Huddle Rooms: 

There are huddle rooms available throughout the office with a mix of reservable and non-reservable options. We ask that no huddle room be used for more than 90 minutes at a time. Here are the locations of these spaces:

• Library Quad contains nine huddle rooms:

  • Non-reservable for use up to 90 minutes: Touchdown Jesus, Victory March, Basilica, 1972

  • Bookable via Google calendar for use up to 90 minutes: Laetare, Leprechaun, Bengal Bouts, Baraka Bouts

  • Training room: Cartier Field is meant to function as a training room and is only bookable through Jerry Barca, Erin Newkirk and Angie Palsak

• North Quad contains two non-reservable huddle rooms for use up to 90 minutes.

• Office #3256 is a non-reservable huddle room for use up to 90 minutes. It is in use on Mondays and Thursdays.

• Office #3242 is a non-reservable huddle room for use up to 90 minutes.

• Coming Soon:

• Spring cleaning followed by a deep cleaning in July. More to come on this soon.

• Clear policies around the booking of the Family Room with an emphasis on trying to keep this space open for casual conversations during core working hours.

• Sister Jean Room reconfiguration.

• A new locker solution for individuals who do not have an assigned spot at Eddy Street that will result in additional collaborative and individual workspaces being opened up near natural lighting.

• A brighter look and feel with some cosmetic updates.

• Better solutions for video meetings in some existing conference rooms.

• Additional Information:

• With a growing workforce, we ask that you be respectful of those around you as it relates to phone conversations, in-person conversations and the playing of music. Please use headphones when possible.

• If you have a trash can in your office area, this should be emptied regularly into one of the communal trash cans as trash pickup in offices is not an available service.

• The Family Room has been reconfigured to look and feel more like a cafe and contains ~20 seats along the perimeter available for quick chats, a lunch meeting or a more informal check-in with a colleague.

• The Chapel Room is the open conference room just north of the Prospect Management and Research area. This conference room is now reservable via Google calendar and contains a TV with AirMedia and enough room for 4-6 individuals.

• If you are looking for the Library or Collateral, both can be found just south of Library Quad.

Thank you!

Brian Diss, Nancy Cole and Patty Kokesh
