Whether you are experiencing a recent loss of a loved one or remembering those long passed, the Notre Dame Alumni Association will remember your loved one by name during our annual All Souls Prayer Service at the Grotto. Our community will gather at the Grotto on Wednesday, November 2, the Feast of All Souls, to pray the rosary and light a special candle in memory of the faithful departed for whom prayers have been asked. The rosary begins at 1:00 p.m. and all are welcome to join us. All prayer requests submitted here by Monday, October 31, will be offered at the Grotto in person by a member of the Notre Dame family of faith.

Over the two half-days, we are offering 30 30-minute sessions to let you know about the latest features in common apps like Gmail and Drive, to introduce you to some new products you might not know about like Zoom and Kahoot, and to tell you about some IT Services that might be just what your office is looking for.

We’re also offering, during our conference, the Solutions Central, a place where you can get your IT questions answered with one-on-one help. Just stop in and we’ll pair you up with one of our IT experts.

Sadly I report that Kristine Alumbaugh of Donor Services is leaving her position in Development and joining the team in Arts and Letters. She will be assisting in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design. What a wonderful opportunity this is for Kristine! Her work ethic, her focus on the task at hand, and her creativity are all considerable talents that will now be used in another department for the benefit of the University. Kristine’s last day in Donor Services will be October 14.

We are excited for Kristine as she leaves for this new adventure and we wish her all the best.

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

Mike Svarovsky will be leaving his role as of October 3rd in pursuit of other opportunities. Please join me in thanking Mike for his service on the CFR Team and we wish him well in his future endeavors.
