Included in your planning for the upcoming holiday break, please ensure that your department’s requests for pre-break payments are forwarded timely for processing. During this high volume time, we ask that all requests for vendor payments, employee reimbursements, etc. be forwarded as soon as possible.

We will make every effort to generate pre-break payments for all requests received on or before the end of day on Monday, December 19. Requests for payment received after that time may not be processed until after break as our efforts will be focused on those received by the deadline. Please allow additional time for us to process requests for new or international payees due to potential tax or other compliance issues that may arise.

Also, please consider using your Procurement Card for eligible, small dollar transactions.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the processing of your requests during this time, please contact us. If you have an emergency payment situation that may arise during the break, please notify us at acctpay@nd.edu which will be monitored.

I am delighted to share that, in recognition of her extraordinary work, Colleen Cross Quinn has been promoted to Foundation Relations Director on Team CFR!

Colleen started with Foundation Relations as a graduate fellow, transitioning to our postdoc, then Assistant Director, and most recently, Associate Director. It has been a great privilege to watch her develop into a remarkable teammate and fundraiser, whose unceasing curiosity and drive have made us all better at what we do. She is on track to surpass her FY23 production goal before the end of the calendar year, but I don’t doubt that she will continue to push forward for the benefit of the University.

Please join me in congratulating Colleen for this well-deserved promotion!

Best,
Amanda Retartha
Senior Director, Foundation Relations
