University Enterprises and Events and the Special Events Team is excited to welcome Kaylee Wolf as Assistant Director of Special Events who began on Monday, August 19. Kaylee will focus on operations and logistics for the Special Events team along with supporting the execution of events for key leaders and benefactors.

She is a native of Elkhart, IN, and most recently worked at the University of Notre Dame Counseling Center where her colleagues have said she is going to be missed and her organizational skills are going to be such an asset to our team. We are thrilled to welcome Kaylee to Special Events and the UEE!

Kaylee loves spending time with her family and enjoying all her young cousins who call her Aunt Kaylee. She also enjoys reading, attending concerts, traveling, and exploring what Michiana has to offer on any given weekend.

Please join us in welcoming Kaylee to the team!

The statue outside the Walsh Family Hall of Architecture that is being stalled today is a large scale representation of Leon Battista Alberti, an architect, priest, writer, poet and humanist. Alberti, a key figure in the Italian Renaissance, was the first to articulate an understanding of the individual building as an integral and essential part of the city, in the city’s conception as a healthy and nurturing community.

Alberti’s ideas of the primacy of the city, combined with an emphasis on beauty, harmony and proportion, contributed greatly to the revitalization of new urbanism in recent decades and have influenced Notre Dame’s unique philosophy.

Designed and created by Alexander Stoddart, the Queen’s Sculptor in Ordinary in Scotland, the statue symbolizes the School of Architecture’s dedication to the creation of well-designed, livable cities and towns.

Please see Katy Orenchuk with any questions or for further information.

Friends,

I am excited to announce that Jennifer Witucki has joined the southwest team as regional director, working with benefactors in and near Orange County.

Jen joins us after serving for four years as director of development and strategic initiatives at Free Wheelchair Mission in Irvine, CA, leading a team responsible for raising nearly eight figures annually in support of its mission. Prior to Free Wheelchair Mission, Jen spent three years consistently driving increased fundraising as a major gift officer at Hoag Hospital Foundation in Newport Beach.

Jen and her family have deep ties to the University and the South Bend community, and we could not be more excited to add her to the team. Please join me in welcoming her and make it a point to stop by to introduce yourself and say hello!

All the best,

Dear Colleagues,

It is with mixed emotions that I announce Anna Bradley will be taking a new opportunity as Publicity Specialist in the McGrath Institute for Church Life.

We’ve been so lucky to have Anna on the Annual Giving team, where she focused her efforts on inspiring our most recent graduates to give back to Notre Dame and educating current students on the importance of higher education philanthropy. While we will miss Anna greatly, we are excited to see all she accomplishes in her new role.

Anna’s last day in the office will be August 29th. Please join me in congratulating Anna on her new position!
