Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce that Eve Kelly, a talented member of the current Rotation Program cohort, will be joining University Relations for the next six months.

As a member of Micki Kidder’s leadership team, and in partnership with Leah Corachea, Eve will be focused on developing a recommendation for how we can utilize the Phone Center to maximize revenue to the University, engagement with the Notre Dame family, and to enhance and broaden the employment experience for our more than 100 student employees.

Eve recently completed a successful rotation in partnership with Karrah Miller, Director of Institutional Equity and Bob McQuade, Vice President for Human Resources. Prior to entering the Rotation Program, Eve spent more than ten years as a leader in the Federal TRiO program, providing support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, the most recent two years here at Notre Dame.

We are incredibly fortunate to count on Eve’s leadership of this important University initiative. Please join me in welcoming Eve to the team!

All the best,

Ryan

Dear Colleagues,

Later this morning, the University will announce a $15 million gift from Joan and Bob McGrath for the Institute for Church Life.

The McGraths have been long-time ICL-CSC Advisory Council members, and Joan is a Boldly Notre Dame Campaign Cabinet member. Bob is a 1955 Notre Dame graduate.

We are incredibly grateful for this generous gift, and the impact it will have on our students and the Church for generations to come. This gift is a perfect fit for the McGraths and Notre Dame. They previously named the McGrath-Cavadini Directorship for the Institute.

Going forward, we can begin referring to ICL as the McGrath Institute for Church Life.

Best wishes to all of you as we head into our 3rd home game weekend.

All my best,
Shannon
