‘For Good’ Ep. 13 featuring Jeff Rhoads

UR Family,

The University of Notre Dame is no stranger to innovative, groundbreaking research. Synthetic rubber, wind tunnels, and wireless transmissions—each of these novel inventions, alongside many others, were developed within the University’s walls. Now, Notre Dame is taking its research enterprise to the next level.

In the 13th episode of For Good, Jeffrey Rhoads, Vice President for Research, discusses how research is an essential component of the Notre Dame experience and how Notre Dame can become a global leader in generation-defining research.

Gift and Data Management Welcomes Amber Machowiak – Audit & Compliance Program Director

Amber comes to us locally after 19 years at Beacon Health System, working her way through college, and then developing professionally as a Senior Systems Analyst for the last 10 years. She is ecstatic to be joining the Data Management team with The Office of Development!

Amber received her Bachelor of Science in Business from Indiana University, South Bend and grew up just over the state line in Niles, MI. She and her husband, JR, have 2 kids, Isaac and Adaline, both of whom attend Saint Joseph Grade School, where Amber serves as HASA Co-Chair, leading volunteer activities, and soaking up time with her kids before she becomes ‘uncool’!

In her spare time, Amber is a runner, currently training for her first and only Marathon, a reader, and passionate about spending time with her family. Soccer Mom is a title she embraces and logistics are her specialty!

Amber’s first day is Monday, June 3rd.
