Congratulations to Angeline Johnson Daley!

Posted on by

Dave & Angeline Johnson Daley welcomed their second daughter — Nina Sorina Daley — into the world on Tuesday, October 1, at 7:17 a.m. (just 4 hours and 15 minutes later than big sister Dia Maria arrived on the same date 3 years ago).

Weighing 7lbs 6oz and measuring 19 inches long, Nina has been a very peaceful and serene baby girl for her parents thus far. Dia is also thrilled to have a “birthday twin” in her new sibling!

Angeline and baby Nina are both healthy and doing very well. Dave couldn’t be more proud. They will all be heading home from the hospital later today and look forward to introducing everyone to their new little girl very soon.

Update from ACE/IEI

Posted on by
Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) founder Fr. Tim Scully, C.S.C., has announced that he will step down as director of the Institute for Educational Initiatives (IEI) and become its director emeritus beginning in January. He will continue to serve the University as a professor of political science, faculty fellow of the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, and IEI faculty fellow.
In a message sent to all friends of ACE, Fr. Scully shared, “Over the course of the past several sabbatical months I have had the opportunity to reflect deeply and gratefully on the endless blessings of my nearly forty years of priesthood in Holy Cross, as well as to discern God’s plan for my own vocation as a Holy Cross priest and the future mission of ACE and the IEI. In this spirit of prayerful discernment, I have decided that, after more than twenty-five years of sharing any and all the gifts that I have been given by God to support our mission, the time is propitious for a transition in leadership. I am absolutely confident that the team with which we have been blessed in both ACE and the Institute possesses the vision and gifts in abundance to lead us with grace and wisdom into the coming decades.“
John Staud (jstaud@nd.edu) and Theo Helm (thelm1@nd.edu) remain the best contacts for Development needs as the Provost’s Office conducts a search for a new IEI director. Please also feel free to direct questions to me as the department’s ACE liaison.
Best,
Amanda Retartha

Take a look at the available spaces below, and let either Pam Mullin or Grace Prosniewski know which you and your team would like to decorate. Rooms will go on a first come, first served basis, so let us know ASAP. Please also let Pam or Grace know if you are willing to serve as a volunteer to help guide trick-or-treaters through the office.

As communicated at the UR Summit, all Development requests for financial aid student identification or participation (e.g., in events, videos, stories, etc.) should be channeled through the Stewardship & Donor Relations team moving forward. This policy seeks to avoid excessive duplication of requests.
