Dear Colleagues,

The second fall renewal mailing (renew #2) is dropping in mailboxes starting Friday, September 9th to all 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 23,000 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!
Annual Giving Team

Dear Colleagues,

On Saturday, September 17, 2022, the Badin Guild will host our CA Tailgate from Noon-2 PM on Debartolo Quad North, east of the Law School. This event will feature complimentary tailgate food and beverages along with gameday festivities.

Please see the list of registered attendees for detail on benefactors who will be attending this event.

If you have questions regarding this event or have Badin Guild members you would like added to the waitlist, please contact Laura Walker.

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

Hi, everyone.

As the campus transitions to the upgraded parking lot card readers, accessing the parking lots across campus will be adjusted. With the new access readers, you will be able to use either your Irish1Card or one of the new enhanced parking tags to access lots for which you are authorized.

While parking hangtags are valid through August of 2023, you can go to Parking Services in Hammes Mowbray Hall to get an Enhanced Hang Tag (EHT) parking permit.

Please note:

• Parking lot designations will not change – the lots (Grace, Joyce, Wilson, etc) have the same designation (“B”).
• The new card readers will establish parking lot access based on whether people are authorized to use a specific lot (ex. “B” tags can access “B” lots, etc).
• You can find out more about Faculty/Staff parking on campus here.

Of special note for Development staff at Eddy Street, access to the IU Med School lot is no longer available. The upgraded readers are being installed in this lot shortly and once completed, the only group with authorized access to this lot will be staff working in the IU Med School or in Harper Hall.

If you have been parking in the IU Med School lot (on the corner of Napoleon St. and Notre Dame Ave), you will now be required to park in the Eddy Street garage. If you are a tenant of the Eddy Street Office you should have parking garage access. If you do not have access to the parking garage, please contact me so we can get that taken care of for you.  A quick reminder that in the Eddy Street garage, Development staff must park above the “bump” 1st-floor ramp.

Thanks!
Lana Taylor

This is your last chance to be part of UR history and submit your recipe by 8/26. While we would prefer to hear a story about your recipe, if you do not have a story to share that is okay! Please share your recipe anyway. Recipes are due by Friday, August 26th, and can be submitted by clicking here. If you do not have time to submit, please reach out to Maureen Daday, Abbey Johnson, or Kristin Schoenfeld.

This past Thursday, the members of the Annual Giving Team selected Brandon Tabor as the next Senior Director of Annual Giving here at the University of Notre Dame — after hearing presentations from our three finalists.

Brandon earned this selection from his “body of work” over the past four years with the Annual Giving and his previous five with the Storytelling Team. Ever curious, Brandon has never been afraid to take on any challenge — the newer the better — and he has always performed at a high level. His passion for Notre Dame, his team and our work, we believe will lead to continuing the success of this high performing team.

Please be sure to stop by and congratulate Brandon on this promotion.
