Please join the Strategic Analytics & Prospect Management Team for coffee and doughnuts this Friday, June 7th, as we say goodbye to Mark Dumich as he transitions to his new role at Mendoza.

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.

During Mark’s time in Development, he has been an instrumental partner to countless members of the team.  Since 2015, Mark has continuously raised the level of achievement within both Prospect Management and Strategic Analytics.  He is an exemplary teammate in all facets and will be missed.  Please join me in congratulating Mark on his new position and thanking him for his many contributions to our department.

Beginning Tuesday, May 21, Google will roll out a name change to Team Drives. The new name will be Shared drives, and will be changed on the web, mobile app and Drive File Stream app.

Though the name change will not impact the functionality of Team Drives, it will affect anyone who has a desktop shortcut to Drive File Stream that currently points to content in Team Drives. Once the new name Shared drive appears in your account, you will need to remove the old shortcut, and create a new shortcut in Drive File Stream.
