Heads Up – Fresh Paint!

Hi All –
The back walls of the Library Quad huddle rooms will get a paint refresh this week to prep for panel installation over Christmas break.
The huddle rooms will be unavailable while the painting takes place and if you have meetings scheduled in any of the rooms, I will contact you to help find a new location for you to meet in.
Thank you for your partnership and please reach out to me if you have any questions.

3rd floor ESC Trash & Recycling Update

The university has updated trash and recycling on campus. There is a limited recycling program on campus, so the large blue recycling bins have been replaced with large trash bins. 
 
Trash is removed daily from the large bins in the hallways, hallway sink areas, open unassigned desk areas (North Quad, South Quad, Library Quad), Family & Sorin Rooms, and restrooms. Smaller bins are not emptied daily, so if you have trash that has filled your smaller bin, please take it to the larger bins. 
 
All other conference rooms have a smaller trash bin and trash removal will be enhanced but not removed daily. Please don’t leave food waste in conference rooms, dispose in the cafe trash bins.
 
Smaller recycling bins were removed from offices and cubicles last night and new smaller trash bins will be placed in offices and cubicles over the weekend.
  • Please dispose of food waste in the cafe, kitchenette or hallway trash bins – marked appropriately.
  • Small trash bins inside the restrooms next to the entrance doors have been replaced with larger trash bins. 
Please reach out to Nancy Cole with any questions.
 
Thank you! 

Rockne Team Update

On November 11, Hannah Thompson will transition from leading ND Listens to joining our Rockne Athletics Fund team.

Since returning to Notre Dame from playing professional volleyball, Hannah has attended countless Rockne events to help work with and steward our donors. Her actions were motivated by her passion for Rockne and the opportunity to thank the individuals who helped make her Notre Dame experience a reality. She is a perfect fit for the Rockne team and will continue our standard and expectation of leading in everything we do.

Hannah will step into Sydney Kuhn’s role, focusing on Rockne base-level and Monogram giving. Sydney will move into the Rockne premier space, leading the renewals in partnership with Shannon Longo and myself, building out material that helps tell Rockne’s story and needs, and helping lead and manage Hannah in her new role. Shannon will continue to set the standard for stewardship and events.

The Rockne team is as strong (and tall) as ever. We are ready and excited to work with you all.

Farewell and thank you, Lauren Dolzan!

It is with bittersweet emotion that I write to share that Lauren Dolzan has decided to be home with her girls full-time. Her last day will be December 31st.

Those who have worked with Lauren know what an outstanding leader, colleague, and friend she is. She’s been a key leader for our department through several marketing and technology advancements over the past 6 years. Those of us on the Annual Giving team especially have benefited from her kindness, care for detail, servant-hearted leadership, and humor.

Lauren’s girls are the luckiest to get her all to themselves moving forward!
Lauren’s role will be posted soon. Please reach out to me with any questions.
