Welcome to the world Jacob George Brennan!

Posted on by
Friends,
It is with great love and joy that we welcome Jacob George Brennan to the world. Ryan and Susie welcomed their miracle at 11:34 pm Sunday, January 15. He was 20″ and 7 lbs 6 oz at birth. It is fitting that he joined the world just in time to help his dad celebrate a Steelers playoff victory!
Please join me in congratulating Ryan and Susie and welcoming sweet little Jake into this amazing world!

Calendar Year End Closing

Posted on by

We plan to close out the gift processing for Calendar Year 2016 on Thursday, January 12. On Friday we will begin processing gifts for 2017. Please check to see if you have gifts that need to be counted in final CY2016 numbers and deliver them to Donor Services right away! Remember to include all envelopes for mail so that postmarks can be properly documented.

Of course, if a gift comes in later that is an actual 2016 gift (e.g. a mailed check with a 2016 postmark) we can provide the proper 2016 tax receipt.
Thanks to everyone for their partnership during this busy, exciting time!

Welcome Josh Tullis to Corporate Relations

Posted on by
Dear Colleagues,
Please join me in welcoming Josh Tullis as a new Program Director for Corporate Relations. Josh will begin his new career at Notre Dame on Thursday January 12th.
Josh is a double-domer, with a BS in Chemistry in 1996 and a PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry in 1999.  He spent the first part of his career as a research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry before leaving to lead a fourth-generation family real estate development business. For the past 12 years he has been engaged in real estate development, design, brokerage, and management. Josh brings a great mix of technical knowledge and business experience to our team. He will serve both the College of Science and the College of Engineering, working with faculty members in both areas in an effort to connect our research efforts with industry.
Josh and his wife, Jennifer, will be relocating from Rome, GA (1 hour north of Atlanta). They have 3 children, Jane (15), Sam (13), and William (10), who are all really excited about winters in South Bend! Please stop by and introduce yourself to Josh, his new office will be very close to the cafeteria in ‘corporate’ row.

Planned Giving Survey Sent January 5

Posted on by

Dear Colleagues,

As we continue to develop our marketing of planned gifts to the University, we have partnered with an external marketing research firm that we have used in the past to develop a survey to better understand the decisions potential benefactors make in deciding to make Charitable Annuity Gift (CGA) to Notre Dame.

The first phase of this survey was sent on June 14 of last year to current CGA benefactors.  The second phase of this survey was sent this morning, to alumni, parents and friends including assigned entities that have not made a planned gift.

The data that is generated from both phases of this survey will be essential as we develop a comprehensive marketing plan for CGAs.

Please let me know if you have any questions,
