Dear Team,

I hope this finds you well. I write to share two important personnel updates.

Effective August 1, Jim Morrison will assume a new position, Assistant Provost for Strategic Initiatives. In this role, Jim will report to Tom Burish in the Provost’s Office and to Greg Dugard on our Development team. Jim will work closely with the Academy and Development to lead, coordinate and implement key multi-disciplinary initiatives and emerging opportunities that support Notre Dame’s mission and strategic goals. Some of these include the new Institute for Real Estate, scientific wellness, military/veterans initiative, and the Inspired Leadership Initiative. Special thanks to Jim for his vision, creativity and leadership of our academic advancement team during the past two years.

I am also pleased to announce that Michael Loungo will be promoted to the position of Sr. Director for Academic and Global Advancement, reporting to Drew Buscareno. Since joining our team in 2013, Michael has been a great leader in pioneering our global advancement team and the growth of Notre Dame International, forming key relationships and significantly increasing our international fundraising efforts as we prepare for the opening of the Keough School. I look forward to his elevated leadership role overseeing both our global and academic advancement teams.

Again, these changes will go into effect on August 1. Please join me in congratulating Jim and Michael. I look forward to continuing our work together and appreciate all your efforts on behalf of Notre Dame.

Best, Lou

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to announce that Anne Overly is joining our East Regional Development Team, serving the Washington DC market.

Anne received her BA from Notre Dame in 1998, majoring in English and Communications (Film/Television). She has had extensive sales and communications experience, working in the Chicago area with AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, The City of Lake Forest, Giant Step and Accenture. Most recently, Anne was with Pearson as a District Sales Manager, working with sales representatives for Pearson’s Higher Education Math and Science lines in Chicago and Michigan. Prior to her management role, Anne was a Senior Publisher’s Representative and Regional Trainer for Pearson.

Anne and her husband Scott have two sons, Emmett (4) and Andrew (2). The family will be relocating to Granger from Chicago. Anne’s parents recently retired to Granger, so the boys’ grandparents are undoubtedly thrilled to have them close by.  In her spare time, Anne enjoys tennis, triathlons and volunteering.

August 1 will be Anne’s first day with Development. Please join me in welcoming Anne back home to Notre Dame, and to her new Development family!

My very best,

Anne Griffith

Dear friends,

It is with mixed emotions that I announce Clare Mundy will be transitioning to the Office of the President, effective August 14th. In her new role as Assistant Director, Clare will lead a variety of initiatives for the Office of the President, including Walk the Walk Week.

During her time on the Development team, Clare has made an impact on our team’s culture, wellness, innovations, and constituent engagement. Clare’s leadership of both the CCP Premium Seat process and the Women in Leadership initiative have been exemplary. Her commitment to the mission of Notre Dame, creativity and work ethic, and contagious enthusiasm made an immediate imprint on those around her. We will miss Clare dearly but look forward to continuing our work with her in the new role.

Please join me in congratulating Clare and thanking her for her excellent work with the Development team!

Dear colleagues,

It is with great enthusiasm that I announce Rich Naponelli as the new Senior Director of Gift Planning. Rich has been a valuable member of the Gift Planning team through his fundraising efforts, technical expertise and oversight of the CRT and DAF programs. As you may recall, Rich came to the University with a high level of legal expertise and experience working with high net worth individuals, responsible for identifying, creating and implementing sophisticated estate and tax planning strategies for such individuals. During his time with us, Rich has quickly learned the culture of our team and has embraced the service culture needed while learning University processes and procedures. Rich will assume full responsibility for leading the gift planning efforts and will report to me.

I look forward to the Gift Planning team continuing to grow and excel under Rich’s leadership. His experience, enthusiasm, and passion for our mission will provide excellent leadership to an extraordinarily talented team!

Rich will assume this position effective immediately. Please join me in congratulating Rich on this promotion.

Best regards,
Greg
