Farewell to Barbara Kelly
It has been an honor and a privilege to work at Notre Dame. In these four years I am very proud of the Parents Program and what it provides for our parents and our University colleagues. Each day has made a difference in the life of a parent because they had a resource for parents at Notre Dame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote “Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail.”
I came to Notre Dame four years ago to establish a program for parents that would provide information on a regular basis and opportunities for parents to be involved with Notre Dame. So it is with mixed emotions I share with you my decision to leave Notre Dame. I have enjoyed the friendships of colleagues across the campus and of parents across the country.
Notre Dame will always have a place in my heart and my spirit, and I will forever love thee, Notre Dame.
Gratefully,
Barbara M. Kelly

Welcome Patty Herrity, Program Director of Data Integrity
Dear colleagues,
Each and every one of us share in the responsibility of maintaining the integrity of our data. Highly skilled data management unlocks hidden value that can be used to drive key operational changes and long term strategies. The Strategic Analytics team is focused on optimizing business decisions through analytics and data strategies.
To that end, I am very pleased to share that Patty Herrity will join the Strategic Analytics team effective November 2nd as the new Data Integrity Program Director. In this role, Patty will work closely with many across the Division to plan, implement, and coordinate an aggressive biographical data integrity program with a focus on improving the quality, quantity, and usage of data across the division. Patty’s experience in the Ticket Office, Donor Services, Prospect Management, and most recently as the Campus Crossroads Project liaison and project specialist greatly prepares her for this new role.
Patty will continue to serve as the liaison for the CCP premium seats for a period of time. Patty and Micki are working on a transition plan of these responsibilities, and are committed to a high level of partnership with all members of the Development and Athletics teams. We will keep you posted on the plan for transition of these responsibilities, including key points of contact moving forward.
Please join me in congratulating Patty as she embarks on the next phase of her career in serving Notre Dame.
