Team,

As previously communicated, Canon is now the University’s preferred supplier of copiers and printers. The ESC Two copier located on the North side of the building have been transitioned from Xerox equipment to Canon today. Our DSS team and Canon have worked to ensure print queues and drivers are installed on your computers. The installation is complete and the new Canon copier is operational. Before sending a print job to the new copier/printer, please be sure to select the new printer called “ESC 2” from your list of available printers.

There are three ways to learn the functionality of the new device:

1)      E-learning training website provided by Canon, please see below instructions to access the website.

2)      A mini instruction booklet attached to the device for you to reference.

3)      Formal training from a Canon representative will be forthcoming at a later date, we will keep you posted.

Procurement Services will coordinate with Xerox the removal of the old copiers.

Thank you for your patience during this transition.

In our efforts to strengthen relationships with our alumni, parents, and friends, we as a division, are focused on using data to help drive strategy and decision making. Regardless of where benefactors are in their philanthropic journey with Notre Dame, data will continue to play an integral part in our efforts to engage our donors in bringing them closer to the University and her mission. Each and every one of us share in responsibility of maintaining the integrity of our data.

Today, I am happy to announce that Rita Udvardy and Julie Burnett have accepted the positions of Data Analyst within the Data Integrity team. In these roles, Rita & Julie will build upon the foundation of our biographical framework and look to improve and enhance our collection, recording and reporting of key biographical data points. Both Rita & Julie bring an array of talents developed in their time with Donor Services, Engagement Information and Annual Giving Programs.

Please join me in congratulating both Rita & Julie – we are truly blessed to have them in these roles!

For the first time, the stewardship report was included in all 4,200 endowment report packages. The follow up mailing dropped last week to those donors who do not receive endowment reports and who have contributed at least $5000 during the last fiscal year or $100,000 lifetime (more than 3,000 benefactors).

Special Events & Stewardship produces the stewardship report annually. Through compelling benefactor stories and photography, the booklet illustrates the success of the previous year’s fundraising efforts. Please contact Sara Kassen with any questions: 574-631-2975.

An email will be sent out tomorrow to our entire database of Notre Dame alumni, parents and friends with this note from Lou Nanni:

As we gather with loved ones over the Thanksgiving holiday, we would like to share with you the stories of eight students in Notre Dame’s Class of 2019.

Each of these students was given a GoPro camera to capture the excitement from their travels home to campus and their first eight weeks of college life at Notre Dame.

Thanks to your generosity, and that of the more than 100,000 donors to the University this past year, each of these students has received significant financial aid.

As you’ll see in these four short videos, they are extraordinarily grateful for your help to make their Notre Dame experience possible—and so are we.

In this season of gratitude, please know how much we thank you for changing the lives of these eight students, and countless others, here at Notre Dame. For this, and so much more, we are forever thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lou Nanni,

Vice President, University Relations

I am pleased to announce that Peggy Queen has accepted the position of Lettershop Coordinator. She joins us from the Engagement Information team as a result of the retirement of Barb Patnaude as well as the reorganization announced in September.

Peggy began her career at Notre Dame as a gift processor in which she also worked in alumni files, performed report writing and information tracking, and assisted in many campaign-related events. She then moved to Research as a propsect analyst where she provided support for the Western area team, aka the Best of the West.

At our most recent UR Summit, we celebrated Peggy’s 25 year milestone anniversary–we welcome her wealth of Development knowledge and experience.

Peggy’s first day will be November 30^th.  We are eager to see her positive contributions to Donor Services and enthusiastically welcome her to our team!
