Welcome Shannon Longo!

Colleagues,

I’m happy to introduce Shannon Longo as our new Events & Materials Coordinator on the Donor Experience Team.  Shannon was critical to our efforts on behalf of benefactors during the second half of the football season, our busy year-end renewal period, and the subsequent January acknowledgment and audit process.  We are thrilled to have her join the team full-time starting February 5.  She will be your new go-to partner for Giving Society event registration, working closely with Sean Boudreau of Special Events & Stewardship.

Shannon and her husband Paul recently celebrated 25 years of marriage and are the proud parents of two college-aged children. In her free time, Shannon is a Crossfit enthusiast who can often be found on the water wake surfing and fishing.

Please join me in welcoming Shannon!

Welcome Lea Barthuly to Alumni

Dear Team,

I am thrilled to announce that Lea Barthuly will be joining the Alumni Association as the Alumni Education & Professional Programs Coordinator, starting Monday, Jan. 29. Lea may be a familiar face to most of you, as she has worked in the Eck Visitors Center since October 2017.

Lea will work most closely with me on Alumni Education programs and Sharon in support of Career/Professional programs, and she brings project management, technical, and interpersonal skills to the position. Prior to coming to Notre Dame, Lea most recently served as a client support representative for a technology company in Jacksonville, FL. As a lifelong learner, she has two masters degrees and has lived and traveled around the world — growing up in Germany and studying and teaching English to high school students in China.

Lea recently moved to the South Bend area with her husband, Josh, who is a grad student in Notre Dame’s Philosophy department.

Please join me in welcoming Lea to the team!

Best,
Mandy Kinnucan
Alumni Education Programs Director

Important Announcement from VP and Associate Provost, Maura Ryan re: Snite Museum

Dear Colleagues,
Please see this important announcement regarding the Snite Museum of Art from Maura Ryan, Vice President and Associate Provost. As always, thank you for your efforts to advance the important work of the Snite.
Best, Drew

Dear Members of the Snite Museum of Art Advisory Council,
It is with mixed emotions that I share with you news that Charles Loving recently announced his decision to retire as Director of the Snite Museum of Art and Curator of the George Rickey Sculpture Archives and the Charles B. Hayes Family Sculpture Park, effective June 30, 2018.
As you know, the Snite has flourished during Chuck’s 18 years as Director. Its collection now comprises more than 29,000 works of art, including significant collections in Mesoamerican art, Old Master paintings and drawings, nineteenth-century French art, nineteenth-century photography, decorative arts, African art, and the art of Ivan Mestrovic and George Rickey. Under his guidance, the museum increased emphasis on acquiring, exhibiting and interpreting works created by African-American, Native American, Latino/a, as well as female artists. Chuck also has been a driving force in the museum’s outreach to the local and campus communities, creating the Ashbaugh Education Center and expanding the staff to four fulltime education curators. Today, the museum’s programs serve more than 15,000 public and parochial students annually through an array of social and educational offerings, including those for adults. More than 7,000 Notre Dame students visited the Snite as part of their coursework during the 2016-17 academic year.
More recently, Chuck presided over the installation of the 8.5-acre Charles B. Hayes Family Sculpture Park, featuring artists from around the world in its inaugural Reclaiming Our Nature exhibition. In partnership with the Hesburgh Libraries, the Snite also received a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support efforts that will provide unprecedented digital access to museum and library collections for teaching and research.
We begin our search for a new museum director at a particularly exciting time. Through the generosity of Ernestine Raclin and Carmen and Christopher Murphy, and members of the Snite Museum of Art Advisory Council, planning is underway for an extraordinary new museum building that will be located on the south side of campus facing Angela Boulevard. Joining the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, Charles B. Hayes Family Sculpture Park, Matthew and Joyce Walsh Family Hall of Architecture and O’Neill Hall of Music, the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art at Notre Dame will be a key part of an emerging arts district and a vibrant and welcoming symbol of Notre Dame’s commitment to the arts.
We will immediately initiate a national search to identify a person with the vision and experience needed to shape a new home for the arts and, more important, to further the vision for the arts at the heart of Notre Dame. I welcome your input in that process.
In the months to come, we will have ample opportunity to recognize Chuck’s extraordinary service and to express our gratitude for his contributions to the vitality of the arts at Notre Dame. In the meantime, please join me in wishing him well for his many years of service to our university and its outstanding museum.
Yours in Notre Dame,
Maura
