Dear Colleagues,
It is with mixed emotions that I share that Anne Griffith has accepted the position of Director within the Office of the President. In her new role, Anne will provide critical leadership with regard to operations and communications on behalf of the University’s Board of Trustees; lead and manage complex activities, events and projects on behalf of the President and Vice President and Chief of Staff; and serve as principal adviser to the Vice President and Chief of Staff in developing and implementing strategic projects on behalf of the President.
Anne began her career with Development in 2010, working in Prospect Management before moving to the Senior Director role leading the East Region and now the New York Metro Region. Through Anne’s leadership, the East region teams consistently set the bar in production and mission giving.
Anne’s last day in Development will be October 25. Please join me in thanking Anne for her contributions to Development and wishing her well in her new role.
Best,
Stu Fortener
Dear staff,
I’m sad for us, but so happy for Jane Nagy, who has chosen to retire effective December 1. Jane and her husband Pete have discussed this for awhile and would like to have more time with their family….and more opportunities to experience Florida sunshine!
I’ll take more time at Jane’s party to express how grateful I am to have worked and laughed with such a wonderful colleague and friend…but for now, let’s cherish the 47 1/2 days we have left being welcomed each morning by her great smile and kind words.
We’ll begin actively pursuing Jane’s replacement with a posting this week. Please join me in congratulating Jane and wishing her the best.
Thanks,
Mark Witucki

Jess spoke four years ago and wants to share more of her story now that she has become a mother to her son who also has dwarfism. Jess will share the facts behind it, her experiences, and share *her* advice on how to talk to others about people with disabilities.
