Dear Colleagues,

Please join me in congratulating Jean Collier for over 8 years of dedicated service to the University. Jean started in Regional Development in 2008 and transitioned to Corporate Relations in 2011. She has been instrumental in cultivating and stewarding many great corporate relationships, including General Electric, Deloitte, and KPMG. Since relocating here full-time for the Corporate Relations role, she and her husband Gary have had to live in separate cities. Jean has made the tough decision to leave the University and start fresh somewhere that she and Gary can be permanently reunited. Let us all thank Jean for her service to our team and wish her and Gary well on their new endeavors.

Today, we want to say thank you to all of our colleagues who served our country in the military.

An email solicitation was sent this morning from our very own Brian Dean (U.S. Marine Corps) to alumni, parents and friends who have not made a FY17 gift (those individuals with primary solicitors were excluded). The email links to a video sharing the story of current graduate student and veteran, Luis Morales. Please take a moment to listen and share his story.

The Notre Dame Veterans Fund was created to support the 75-100 veterans enrolled at the University of Notre Dame in a given semester. The fund helps to offset tuition and living costs, and provides resources that enable veterans to continue their education.

Dear Team,

I want to share some news about our colleague, Annie Duffy ’06. As most of you know, Annie has been in the Career Advisor role for the last 3+ years and she has recently decided to stay home with her little ones, Danny and Abby. Annie’s decision was not easy as she derives a lot of fulfillment from supporting our alumni, but her desire now is to focus on her family.

Annie’s contributions are many and include serving an average of 700 alumni in each of the last two fiscal years, expertly critiquing 200 resumes last year alone, and developing and delivering 6 Clear-Sighted Career webinars.  She has done this and more while enhancing the professionalism of our services and support provided to our alumni in times of transition. Her care and skill were evident in her prior NDAA role as the Clubs Program Director in which she engaged with club leaders from all clubs. Her conscientiousness and work ethic are admirable and I will miss working with her. Annie’s last day will be November 30th.

I am taking this opportunity to review the role in light of expanded services and updates will follow as decisions are made.

For now, please join me in wishing Annie well and thanking her for 6+ years of service within the Alumni Association.

Best,

Sharon

It is with mixed emotions that I share with you the resignation of Sean MacCready from his role as Midwest fundraiser based in our Chicago office.

Please join me in thanking Sean for his dedication and service to Our Lady’s university.  Sean has been an integral and fun-loving part of the Midwest team.  We wish Sean nothing but the best in his future endeavors.
