Good afternoon,

In light of the University’s recent decisions and guidance surrounding the evolving coronavirus situation, the spring True to Her Name stewardship event has been canceled. Registered benefactors will soon receive the following communication from Katherine Lane, and all will be eligible to attend next year’s event on Saturday, April 17, 2021 as indicated.

Please let me know if you or your benefactors have any questions or concerns as a result of this decision, and thank you as always for your partnership.

Best,

All:

We have decided to cancel the True to Her Name stewardship event on April 18th. In light of Fr. John’s message yesterday on the decision to suspend in-person classes at least until April 13, as well as the suggestion to cancel unnecessary travel and events, we have decided that this is the best approach for everyone’s safety and wellbeing.

For those of you who have made hotel requests through our Special Events Office, know that we will cancel your accommodations at the Morris Inn. You will not be held responsible. If for some reason you still plan to come to campus, please let me know and we will be able to work with you to adjust your reservations.

I am happy to share that next year’s True to Her Name event will be held April 17, 2021. Please let this message serve as a save-the-date and know that we very much hope you’ll join us then.

Thanks for your understanding, and for everything you do for Notre Dame.

God bless,
Katherine Lane

Thank you.

Colleagues,

Due to the intense planning effort that OIT is involved in to keep campus operations running smoothly should the coronavirus arrive here, OIT has been asked to postpone the Taste of Technology conference that was scheduled to run this Wednesday and Thursday. Please know that this decision was made to ensure that OIT resources are available when and where they are most needed to protect the well-being of the entire Notre Dame community. We will make an announcement as soon as we receive word of the rescheduled dates.

Please keep Steve Nekic and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn the loss of Steve’s father, Frank Nekic. Over two years ago Frank was diagnosed with ALS and he passed away this past Saturday. Frank was a 1977 graduate of Notre Dame and his obituary can be found here.
