Posted on by
Please join me in welcoming Mike Schultz to the Western Region team as a Regional Director. Mike will be starting with our team on December 3rd, and will be covering a territory in the Pacific Northwest.

Mike is a 2004 graduate of Notre Dame with a degree in Film, Television, and Theatre as well as a two-time Monogram winner as a student manager where he rose to the rank of Head Football Student Manager.  Growing up, Mike moved around quite a bit with stops in Elgin, IL, Jacksonville, FL, Richmond, VA, Frederick, MD, Grand Rapids, MI, and Pittsburgh, PA.  Mike married his high school sweetheart, Gillian, who is also a 2004 graduate of Saint Mary’s College.  They have three children, Keira, 12, Brian, 10, and Kinley, 3.

Mike has spent that past 14+ years working at his high school alma mater, Saint John’s Catholic Prep, in Buckeystown, MD.  After teaching for a year and a half, he accepted a position in the school’s Advancement Office and has spent the past 13 years working with the development and admissions teams where he most recently served as the Executive Director of Advancement.

In his free time, Mike enjoys working out and watching a variety of sports.  He is very excited about the opportunity to bring his family home to Notre Dame.

 Rubén Medina joins South Region Team

Posted on by

Please welcome Rubén Medina to his new role as a fundraiser on the South team.  Rubén joins the South Region team from his current position on our Global Advancement team.  As part of the South Region team, Rubén will serve as a front line fundraiser supporting the University’s development efforts in Latin America.

 

Rubén brings to this new role significant experience at the University, including work in Undergraduate Admissions and Notre Dame International.  During his time on the Global Advancement team, Rubén helped define and develop a geographic focus to the University’s fundraising efforts in Latin America; built and refined a portfolio of prospects; and through diligence and collaboration with his generous colleagues in Regional Development, made significant progress in his fundraising skills and acumen.  This role represents a natural next step in Rubén’s career in Development and continues our efforts to mainstream fundraising outside of the United States by aligning as appropriate, with our domestic fundraising structures and practices.

 

Rubén graduated from Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering with a second major in Japanese, and is currently completing his Master of Science in Finance at Mendoza.

 

Please congratulate Rubén, and join us in thanking him for his collaborative spirit.

 

In gratitude,

Water Issues at ESC

Posted on by

As you are aware, we are having issues with our coffee makers and water coolers in the Eddy Street Office. These problems stem from both our heavy use of the equipment and a building wide issue with the water pressure. The maintenance staff at Kite is aware of the problem and they are looking into solutions to the low water pressure issue. Please be patient with the coffee makers and water coolers until a solution is found. Thank you!
