Colleagues, I am pleased to share that Lindahl Chase, Associate Director of the Sorin Society, will now also  be leading the Donor Experience Team within Annual Giving. As you know, this team, comprised of Kristin Trosper, Shannon Longo, and Darlean Vance, are the front line interface for giving society members when it comes to acknowledgements, events, and day-to-day customer service requests. They are invaluable to the work we all do in raising increased unrestricted and giving society revenue for the University, and the service they provide to our members is a key value-add for our member experience. Through Jonathan Retartha’s previous leadership, this team has advanced their processes and outcomes greatly, and I know that, under Lindahl’s leadership, they will continue to make significant strides.

Team,

Please join me in thanking Nick Shelton for his contribution to the Notre Dame family as an Associate Director for the Cavanaugh Council & President’s Circle. Today, November 30, will be Nick’s last day on the Development team, as he will be pursuing new opportunities.

Best, Shelby

Team,

We are excited to share an update on our upcoming integrated work environment plans.  The next phase will be a remodel of a portion of our Regional Development area, creating a shared work environment for certain fundraisers.  A huge thank you to all fundraisers who have agreed to use this as their home-base: Kevin Deeth, Shannon Forry, Mark Futa, Giovana Heeter, Lynn Hubert, Janet Jessup, Bill Kempf, Riley Koval, Ron Linczer, Tom Molnar, Jesse Meyer, Darrell Paulsen, Tara Reilly, Dan Santucci, Steve Sollmann, Aaron Wall.  

 

We anticipate the work being done in mid January once the products arrive, and should only take a week to complete.  Stay tuned for additional details on how we will adjust while the work takes place.

 

Attached are two files.  One is an ESC floorplan with the location of this new space highlighted in yellow.  It is essentially located from the current offices of Deeth, Heeter, Reynolds, and Meyer toward the west windows. The second attachment includes renderings of the products and layout for this phase. 

 

The plan moving forward from the work in January is to complete additional phases throughout the west side of the ESC office.  We will continue to “do, learn, do.”  Please reach out to a member of the Integrated Work Environment Committee with any questions.

Please congratulate Theresa Fry on her new role as Marketing Communications Assistant at the Notre Dame Law School, effective Monday, December 3, 2018.  Theresa joins the Law School from her current position as Law School Advancement Coordinator. As part of the Law School’s Marketing Communications Department, she will contribute to a team that produces the publications and marketing materials, manages planning and marketing for events, and maintains the website and social media, of the Law School.

Theresa joined Development as the academic advancement coordinator in November 2016, where she facilitated development efforts for the Notre Dame Law School alumni, supported the Law School’s Academic Advancement Director, and worked on the execution of a wide range of Law School events.

Theresa graduated from Indiana University, and is currently a member of IU’s Bicentennial Advisory Committee.  She brought to Notre Dame experience as business manager for Augusta RV in Elkhart, as well as her time in our university community as Women’s Golf Coach at St. Mary’s College.  From 2010 to 2015, Theresa served as the assistant race director for Sunburst Races, South Bend’s largest community event, and she continues to serve on the steering committee for the race.

This new role will bring Theresa closer to the Notre Dame Law School, and we are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate in the future with her and her team, for the benefit of the Law School and Notre Dame.

Please congratulate Theresa on this next step in her career, and look for her on the quad as she continues as a member of our community.
