Deena’s husband Eric went to the ER two weeks ago with a blood clot in his leg. Two days ago, part of it separated and traveled to his lung. Doctors will be implanting a filter in his artery this morning, Thursday, to reduce chances of further blockage. Deena and Eric would appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers. Thanks.

Please join the Chicago Regional Development Office and the Midwest Team as we welcome Anne Dockery. Anne received her Bachelor of Arts and Sciences degree from Indiana University and she is a current employee of Notre Dame. In her most recent role, Anne has served as a Guest Service Associate at the Morris Inn. Anne was part of team that opened the renovated and expanded Morris Inn; surely that experience should prepare her well as she enters Development on the brink of football season!
Prior to her Morris Inn experience, Anne provided temporary assistance in both the Mendoza College of Business and the Graduate School. Upon completion of training Anne will relocate to the Chicago office in the role of Administrative Assistant. Anne’s first week will coincide with the UR Summit, and we are thrilled to have Anne on board our team!
