Associate Director, Prospect Management:

The Associate Director supports the fundraising efforts of the university’s directors of development, primarily the Principal Gifts team, by discovering and researching individuals and organizations with, or who are believed to have, the capacity to make a transformative gift to Notre Dame.  Through documenting and analyzing key biographical and financial information, the Associate Director will assess and estimate the overall gift capacity of the individual or organization and provide related information which will assist the director of development in qualifying and developing and appropriate strategy for cultivating the prospect and, ultimately, closing gifts. The Associate Director is responsible for building strong partnerships with the Prospect Management and Principal Gifts teams, working to drive strategy to ultimately produce transformative gifts to Notre Dame. Further, the Associate Director will be responsible for maintaining and growing the development department’s relationships with third-party vendors who will be our primary partners for research on all leadership and principal level prospects, and consistently monitoring the landscape for enhanced products and best practices to help drive philanthropy at Notre Dame.

 
Program Director, Data Integrity:
The Development Strategic Analytics team is focused on optimizing business decisions through analytics and data strategies.  Highly skilled, centralized data management unlocks hidden value that can be used to drive key operational changes and long term strategies.  The Program Director will be expected to serve as a subject matter expert in the area of higher education biographical data with the ability to actively advise on opportunities to secure external data that will allow us to deliver more timely predictive data to our field fundraisers and provide strategic oversight in ensuring that biographical data is captured in a way that will allow us to more strategically engage with alumni, parents, and friends.  The Director will also plan, implement, and coordinate an aggressive biographical data integrity program that will focus on maintaining accurate constituency data records.
 
Analyst, Data Integrity: 
The Data Integrity Analyst position will utilize information technology systems, methods, and vendors to assist in the development of a data integrity program to maintain the accuracy and quality of data in the Development and Alumni database; identify and implement data quality best practices; work to ensure compliance with established data standards; and conduct data audits to identify bad or missing data.

Sept 20-21 Business Objects Upgrade

This weekend Business Objects will be upgraded from version 3.1 to 4.1 for report creation and run/refresh of reports. The Development Office is the first department on campus to migrate to the new environment.

 

We are moving to the newest version of Business Objects because the currently installed V3.1 has reached the end of its life-cycle and will no longer be supported after 2015. V4.1 offers many new enhancements that will make reporting easier and offer more robust functionality.

 

On Sunday, September 20 at 12:00 PM, the current Business Objects will no longer be available to create reports. The current Business Objects will be available only to run/refresh reports in V3.1. All scheduled reports will continue to run as expected. OIT will begin the migration to the V4.1 environment, and it is expected to be completed the evening of Sunday, September 20.

 

Effective Monday, September 21 at 8:00 AM, the new Business Objects V4.1 environment will be available and ready for your use to create reports and run/refresh reports. All references to Business Objects in Advance, ur.nd.edu, and inside.nd.edu will be updated with the new V4.1 link.

During the week of September 21, we will be hosting a number of post-launch training sessions to demonstrate how to run/refresh reports and allow for additional questions. Please watch the UR professional development calendars for specific dates and times.

Business Objects V3.1 will be available in read-only mode to run/refresh reports until training sessions are completed by 9/30/2015.

If you have questions about this upgrade, please contact Elizabeth Hasse at ehasse@nd.edu or ext 1-9607.

 

Should you have any issues after the upgrade, please contact our department IT support staff, or the OIT Help Desk at 574-631-8111, oithelp@nd.eduor chat online at https://help.nd.edu.

You can help Jim Cunningham go the distance for a cure

Dear UR colleagues,
This October I will celebrate 10 years since receiving a life-saving bone marrow transplant by running the 2015 Chicago Marathon. To prepare for this race, I will train more than 500 miles.
I am paying it forward by raising $1,800 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. A (tax deductible) gift of any amount will directly help more people like me beat cancer.
Visit http://pages.teamintraining.org/vtnt/chicago15/JCunningham to learn how you can make a difference.
Please know that a gift would mean a lot to me as a colleague and a cancer survivor. If you have questions please call or email me. Thank you for your consideration.

Best,

Jim Cunningham MBA ‘13
