Farewell to Jennah Marino

Please join me in extending best wishes to Jennah Marino, whose last day with the Special Events & Stewardship team will be August 28, 2015.  Jennah started at Notre Dame in 2013 and has been a valuable member of the team.  Jennah has served as the acknowledgments coordinator for presidential and vice presidential letters, and during her tenure she has been an important part of several enhancements and efficiencies to automate the acknowledgment letter process.

Jennah’s husband, Joseph, has been in his residency at Memorial Hospital during her tenure with Notre Dame. Jennah and Joseph plan to relocate to Missouri next spring for the next step in Joseph’s career. Jennah looks forward to spending more time with family. We will miss Jennah’s innovation and sense of humor.  Congratulations to Jennah and Joseph as they begin the next chapter of their lives!

A job posting for the position of Stewardship Lead Coordinator will be available in the near future. Internal candidates are encouraged to have a conversation with their managers about interest in this position.
