We finished last year as the No. 1 fundraising team on campus. Let’s continue to lead the University in this quest for a cure.

Starting today, we would like to invite everyone receiving this email to register with our UR Walking on Sunshine team and to each raise $50 in 50 hours. It’s as simple as asking 10 friends to donate $5.  Together we can do this and together we can make a difference.  Visit our team page at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/URwalkingonsunshine to register and make your donation.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to attend Relay for Life in the past, we invite you to do so this year.  You will, no doubt, be moved by the passion and dedication that goes into making this event so successful.

There is something for everyone, including, entertainment, children’s activities, a mobile auction, numerous food vendors, ice skating, karaoke, a reflection area and a luminary ceremony to remember our loved ones. It’s an opportunity to come together and unify for a common cause. It’s a community event so bring your family and friends. Visit http://relay.nd.edu for event details.

April showers bring May flowers. Please join us in turning those showers into sunshine. We can and we will make a difference—one person at a time.

Thank you for your support! It is an honor to be walking on sunshine with all of you!

Please join me in sympathy for Brian and Christine Diss. Christine’s grandfather, Ron Mueller of Northbrook, IL, passed away yesterday unexpectedly from a suspected heart attack. He was 80 years old.

Visitation is Saturday, April 11 from 9:15 a.m. until the time of the Funeral Mass at 10:30 a.m. at St. Norbert Church in Northbrook. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made to St. Norbert Church or to Santa Lucia/Santa Maria Incoronata Parish in Chicago, IL.

In attempt to save money, we are using tailgating “pop-up” tents for student activities on Notre Dame Day, April 26-27. We already have 1 of the 2 tents, which has Notre Dame logos on it (the tent sold at the bookstore). To keep it a little cleaner looking, I am trying to find someone else with that same tent who is willing to help us out. Since it was sold in the bookstore, I figure that there has to be someone in UR with one. Please contact Erin Fessler, 1-3222.

Thank you so much,

Erin

As promised earlier this month, I am very pleased to announce the promotions of a five outstanding professionals to the newly created role of Regional Associate (“RA”). Please join me in congratulating Deena Chamberlin, Eileen Gieselman, Marcia Hittner, Roz Palusci, and Kristin Trosper on their promotions to Regional Associate. I look forward to acknowledging their past contributions as well as the impact of their expanded roles going forward.

These five colleagues were promoted based upon not only their sustained level of excellence, accountability, collaboration and technical acumen, but also their capacity for an expanded scope of responsibility and leadership potential. Most importantly, they have exemplified an excellent commitment to Notre Dame’s mission, vision and values. In addition to retaining their existing administrative responsibilities, the Regional Associates will serve a critical role in a specific Development region providing strategic guidance and activity on one of the following four tracks: Prospect Management, Stewardship, Special Events, or Product Knowledge.

In considering these promotions, we were reminded of the high caliber and depth of our Regional Development Administrative Assistant team, and are grateful for the tremendous work displayed across the entire team. For those colleagues that illustrated an interest in the role, I am grateful for your interest and look forward to outlining a map for achieving excellence in the RA role.
Please join me in congratulating Deena, Eileen, Marcia, Roz, and Kristin, and thank you all for your continued commitment to Notre Dame.
