It is nearing the time of year when performance reviews need to be completed. To keep on track, this is a quick reminder for all employees and managers to pop into eNDeavor in the near future and ensure you have completed the review process through Step 2.

Travelers at the South Bend International Airport should expect longer wait times as new 3D scanners get installed at TSA checkpoints.

While those new scanners are being installed only one screening lane will be open for passengers with carryon bags until Friday, so travelers are encouraged to check their bag if possible to get through the line easier, and arrive at least two hours before their flight leaves.

The airport has also opened at 3:45 am to allow enough time for travelers heading out with morning flights.

The installation of the new machines is expected to be complete Friday afternoon and normal operations to resume are expected to resume Saturday.

Greetings from the Office of Student Employment,

The University seeks to ensure consistent compensation and employment practices for every student working on campus. In an effort to retain, reward, and provide equitable pay to our student employees, we have instituted a new starting pay for all hourly student positions.

Effective May 1, 2022, the new University starting rate for hourly student positions will be $11 per hour. Positions requiring pay above $15 (e.g., special training or skills) must receive approval from the Office of Student Employment. Please provide a brief job description when submitting these jobs.

If your department has the funding and you wish to increase your student worker rates sooner, you can use the Student Jobs Hiring Tool at this time.  If you have a large number of students you would like to change, please email Student Employment at studempl@nd.edu for additional guidance.

This change provides departments an opportunity to pay students a more competitive rate with the local job market based on their responsibilities and performance. We hope you share our enthusiasm in acknowledging the work that our student employees do.

If you have any questions that have not been addressed in this communication, please contact the Office of Student Employment at stdempl@nd.edu.

Hello, everyone,

Please find the communication below that was sent to Notre Dame alums in financial services who would typically receive a formal invitation to the Wall Street Dinner. Please note from Shannon’s letter that, in lieu of this Spring’s lunch and dinner, there will be a formal sit-down dinner as part of the September 13 Notre Dame Investments Conference in New York. Details will be provided as the date draws nearer. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Thanks,
Ryan

Dear Notre Dame Family,

I hope this finds you well. There is great energy on campus among our students with the semester well underway.

On behalf of Notre Dame and the Wall Street Leadership Committee, I am disappointed to share that our Spring Notre Dame Wall Street Dinner, scheduled for March 21 in New York, will not take place as scheduled. As you might imagine, COVID-19 has presented a number of significant challenges to hosting an event with the quality and attendance we have all come to expect. We are happy to share that we will host a Wall Street Dinner in New York on September 13 as part of the biennial Notre Dame Investments Conference. Please mark your calendars.

Please know how grateful we are for all you do for Notre Dame, especially for the mentorship and support you have created and grown on Wall Street and in financial services for our students and alumni. I look forward to being with you again soon.

In Notre Dame,

Shannon Cullinan, Executive Vice President

There will be a prayer service for peace and the safety of the Ukrainian people at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at 8 p.m. today. Father Andrij Hlabse, S.J., a theology Ph.D. candidate and Ukrainian Byzantine Catholic priest, will lead the prayer service.

For those not able to attend in person, the prayer service will be livestreamed at this link.

Due to construction, the Eddy Street Parking Garage ramp between the 1st floor and 2nd floor will be partially closed next Thursday, March 3rd, 2022 through Friday, March 4th, 2022. There will be limited access for cars going between floors and there will be a few hours on Thursday that the ramp will be completely closed.

All ESC Development staff should park on the 1st floor on both Thursday, March 3rd, and Friday, March 4th. All ESC staff should return to their normal parking area (above the “bump” on the ramp to the 2nd floor) by 8 am Tuesday, March 8th.

As a side note, the work being completed does require a temperature of 40°F or higher. If temperatures require that the work be rescheduled, Kite will try to notify us as soon as possible. Even if a reschedule is needed and to avoid any confusion, cars will be allowed to park on the first floor without penalty between Wednesday, March 2nd through Monday, March 7th.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Lana Taylor & Dawn Smith
