In addition, he gained experience in videography, blogging and photography. Prior to joining The Capital, Liam spent a year and a half as the City Hall Reporter for The Frederick News-Post, a daily newspaper in Frederick, Maryland, his hometown. During his time as a reporter, Liam won numerous awards from the Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association.

Dear Staff,

I’m pleased to announce that Andrew Fiedler will become a full time member of the NDAA staff in his role as myNotreDame Support Coordinator effective Monday, March 21. He will report to Dolly Duffy.

Andrew began working part time at the NDAA Help Desk in March 2010. During his tenure, he has supported the rollout of myNotreDame and provided valuable input to the development of the website. Additionally, he has written and delivered training to our club, class, and group administrators. Andrew’s strong communication skills and IT background work well in supporting users of myNotreDame.

Before joining us last March, Andrew worked in IT support with Allied Physicians and the American Red Cross and also provided contract IT consulting. Andrew received his BS in Organizational Communication from Bob Jones University.

Please join me in congratulating Andrew on his full time position.

Best regards,

Mark Witucki

On Friday we will plan to show the men’s basketball game on the big screen in the Eck Auditorium beginning at 1:30 p.m. (game time is 1:40 p.m.). Stop by to help root our boys to victory and enjoy a slice of pizza. We will have pizzas delivered right before tipoff (keeping in mind that it’s a Friday of Lent) so you can work through lunch and dine during the game.

Also, since we’re rooting for the Irish, feel free to wear jeans and your favorite Irish shirt!

All the best,
Dolly Duffy
