Included in your planning for the upcoming holiday break, please ensure that your department’s requests for pre-break payments are forwarded timely for processing. During this high volume time, we ask that all requests for vendor payments, employee reimbursements, etc. be forwarded as soon as possible.

We will make every effort to generate pre-break payments for all requests received by the end of day on Monday, December 18. Requests for payment received after that time may not be processed until after break as our efforts will be focused on those received by the deadline. Please allow additional time for us to process requests for new or international payees due to potential tax or other compliance issues that may arise.

Please make faculty, staff, or others who submit payment requests for your area, aware of this timing. Also, please consider using your Procurement Card for eligible, small dollar transactions.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the processing of your requests during this time, please contact us. If you have an emergency payment situation that may arise during the break, please notify us at acctpay@nd.edu which will be monitored.

On a personal note, I will be retiring at the end of December. It has been wonderful working with all of you over the past 21 years. Take care!

From all of us in Accounts Payable, Happy Holidays!

Team,

It is with mixed emotions that I write to share news that Anne Overly will soon depart University Relations to serve as Senior Advisor to Shannon Cullinan, Executive Vice President. Anne has been an incredibly valuable member of the Development team since she joined us from Pearson in 2017. She first served as a Regional Director covering families in Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, then as the Senior Director for the South Region, and most recently as Executive Regional Director, providing administrative oversight for the South and Southwest Regions, in addition to the University’s Hesburgh Women of Impact initiative. She leaves our Development team in a stronger position than when she arrived, and while we will miss her positivity, commitment to excellence, and devotion to our mission, we know all these characteristics will serve her, and Notre Dame, exceptionally well in her new position.

To ensure the most successful calendar year-end possible, Anne will transition to her new role effective January 15, 2024. Additionally, given that we are only a few months into our new organizational structure within Regional Development, we will pause to reexamine our operations during this most critical period of our annual cycle and will determine how best to move forward in the weeks ahead.
In the interim, please join me in thanking Anne for her contributions to Development and wishing her well in her new role. She’s become a dear friend to many of us, and we know that friendship will endure.

On Wednesday, November 15, the access scanners at Eddy Street will be upgraded by ND Maintenance. Since the card scanners will be offline to facilitate this transition, please note:

• On November 15, the only accessible suite entrance will be the main entrance door in the elevator lobby. This is the door to the right when exiting the elevator. This door will be propped open for easier access on November 15th only.
• The east side elevator lobby door (to the left when exiting the elevator) and both stairwell doors will be available for exit from the suite only on November 15.
• The upgrade will not affect anyone’s suite access.

If you have any questions or need anything else, please contact Laura Waltz (lwaltz@nd.edu) or Lana Taylor (ltaylor1@nd.edu).
