UR Friends and colleagues,

I write to inform you that Jay McAllister will be leaving the University. Jay has served admirably in his roles at Notre Dame since joining the University in June of 2016, and is a friend to many throughout the Notre Dame community. Jay will be leaving for a position at Duke University, where he will be the inaugural program director for transformational gifts.

Per Jay, “this move to Duke gives me a tremendous opportunity to push myself professionally. It also provides Lindsey with a greater trajectory for her career, gets us closer to family, and will enable my mom to finally retire in a warmer climate — things that as a husband, father, and son I could not pass up being able to provide.”

Jay’s last day with Notre Dame will be January 4th, 2023. Please join me in wishing Jay success and happiness in this next endeavor.

Friends and colleagues,

I am excited to share that Jackie Clinton has joined our development team as a regional director in the New York Metro region. Her first day was December 5.

Jackie’s career has been one of hard work, service and success, with an emphasis on building strong relationships. Beyond her numerous leadership roles in public service and within the communities she has called home, she is perhaps most proud of her four children who have either graduated from or are currently attending the University of Notre Dame, including our very own Caitlyn Clinton ’20!

Please join me in giving Jackie a warm welcome to the team.
