Colleagues,
I am happy to announce that Joe Dietz has joined the Central Region as Regional Director. When we were searching to find someone to cover an Ohio centered portfolio, we found a terrific candidate right in our backyard.
Joe Dietz, ND Class of 2004, grew up in Ohio and received his Juris Doctor from Ohio State University’s Moritz College of Law in 2007. After seven years in private practice, Joe returned to South Bend five years ago as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office. We look forward to watching Joe leverage his persuasive skills and compelling closing statements in a different arena.
Joe and his wife, Beth, and their two children reside in Granger. Please join me in welcoming them back home to Notre Dame.
In Notre Dame,
Tim Willis

Dear Colleagues,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Mark Dumich will be leaving Development to pursue a new opportunity within the Mendoza College of Business. Effective Monday, June 10, Mark will continue his service to the University as the Associate Director, Institute for Global Investing.

Please join me in congratulating Mark on his new position and thanking him for his many contributions to our department.
