Dear Team:

It is with great enthusiasm that I announce Dylan Reed as our Director of Campaign Strategy.  Dylan accepted our offer and will transition into his new role effective July 1^st.

The position was created to lead, facilitate, coordinate and implement key strategies and proposals for funding and transformative impact to our mission.  With an extensive background in the academy and student affairs, Dylan is very well qualified to help lead our efforts at envisioning, structuring and proposing new transformative gifts.  He will be asked to help execute strategic planning efforts with new and emerging leaders and/or committees as the University moves to close the current comprehensive campaign and envisions the next.  Given the future emphasis on multidimensional and cross disciplinary priorities that will emerge, Dylan will develop an understanding of, collaboration with, and leadership to, academic leaders related to future philanthropic opportunities and strategies.

Dylan has been an integral member of the Development team for almost seven years, the past three of which he has served the Keough School of Global Affairs and helped successfully launch the University’s newest school.  In his role within Keough, Dylan displayed outstanding leadership in the visioning, developing, structuring and marketing of multiple eight figure gifts, helping provide Keough with launch funding at critical stage of need.   Prior to serving KSGA, Dylan helped lead the growth of the President’s Circle over a four year period.  Dylan returned home to Notre Dame after holding numerous positions in student affairs at Vanderbilt University, including overseeing the launch of transformative, new faculty-led first year residential college.  Dylan received his B.A. from Notre Dame in 2003 and his M.F.A. from Notre Dame in 2006.

Dylan lives with his wife Eli, a graduate of the Kroc Institute, and their daughter Victoria, a brand new kindergarten graduate. Dylan and Eli moved back to Notre Dame in 2011 after beginning their careers together as high school teachers in eastern Kentucky, then  moving to Nashville, where they worked at Vanderbilt.  They are parishioners at St. Mary’s in Niles, Michigan, where Eli serves on the school board.

Please join me in congratulating Dylan and thanking him for his outstanding partnership and loyalty to the University!

Best regards,

Greg

Many thanks to all who will supervise, mentor, host, and collaborate with our talented cohort.

Dear Colleagues,

Best,
Michelle
