Team,

We have been asked by Kite Properties to send a reminder about parking under the Eddy Street office building, specifically along the westside across from the former Kilwin’s location. These spots are 45-minute parking only. Beginning tomorrow (Friday, Sept. 23, 2022) vehicles parked in this location exceeding 45-minutes will be towed.

Parking is available in the garage for Eddy Street tenets or any one working out of the Eddy Street office (hot desking, attending meetings, etc). If you are assigned to the Eddy Street office, garage access has been granted to you. If you do have garage access, please let me know.

For any one assigned to the Main Building, Grace Hall or Joyce Center offices, parking can be validated at the front desk.

If you have any questions, please contact me, Grace Prosniewski, or Lana Taylor.

Thank you.
Dawn

Team,

We are excited to announce that Mary Bueno will take on the role of Development Associate beginning Monday, September 26. In this role, reporting to Brian Diss, Mary will provide administrative support for all areas of Advancement Services. Mary will also coordinate the scheduling of interviews for Advancement Services positions, manage facility needs within Grace Hall, coordinate student hiring, and support Gift Management functions (ie customer service, gift preparation, etc.) during peak times and as needed.

Mary has been a valuable member of the Annual Giving team for the past 9 years. Her compassionate care for the team, commitment to our donors, and warm smile will be missed by Annual Giving, but we are so excited that she will be continuing to do great things for Development in this new role!

Annual Giving will be posting for Mary’s replacement in the coming days. If you have any interest of referrals for the role, please contact Brandon Tabor.

Please join us in congratulating Mary on this new role.

Thank you,

Brian Diss and Brandon Tabor

All,

As we gear up for football season and calendar year-end, I want to share two updates from Advancement Services:

Lana Taylor, who has been a pivotal member of the Advancement Services and Development teams for 3.5 years, will join the Internal Engagement team effective September 12. In this new role, she will continue her high-level coordination of division-wide events (ie UR Summit, Blueprints, Shindigs, Immersion Day, Christmas party, etc.), manage the contract process for Advancement Services departments, and support the Learning and Organizational talent team with coordinating and logistics for onboarding and professional development events and meetings. I am thrilled to have Lana continue her meaningful service to our team in this new role, reporting to James Riley and a dotted line to me on division-wide events.

We will soon be posting a new role for a Development Associate, reporting to me. In addition to providing administrative support for me and the Senior Directors on the Advancement Services team, this associate will assist with scheduling interviews and hiring for Advancement Services positions, manage facility and space needs for Grace Hall, and support the Gift Management team in ongoing and peak times with donor communications, gift preparation, etc. This role will be posted internal only this week. Please contact me or Adria Logan if you have an interest!

Best,
Brian
