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!

Warm regards,
Jonathan Retartha

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
