March 14 marks Pi Day, an annual celebration of the mathematical sign pi. Founded in 1988, March 14 was selected because the numerical date (3.14) represents the first three digits of pi, and it also happens to be Albert Einstein’s birthday. In honor of Pi Day, bring in your favorite pie (homemade or store bought) to the ESC Cafe at any time on Tuesday, March 14th. Sign up here to bring a pie!

From ND Professor Wendy Angst:

Happy birthday to all our UR employees celebrating their special days in March! We’re lucky to work with you!

Please join me in wishing Landon Weldy a successful transition to his new position in marketing and communications at Partners Worldwide, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Landon joined the Storytelling and Engagement team in June 2019, and his last day will be March 10, 2023. We’ve had the privilege of watching him grow over the years and become a valuable member of our team.

Many of you have had the pleasure of working with Landon on storytelling fundraising proposals and Notre Dame Day. Landon was also responsible for coordinating the Live Chats, Fighting Irish Foodies, and many other special projects.

Landon is a native of Goshen, Indiana and a graduate of Goshen College. Since joining Notre Dame, Landon’s family members have relocated to Florida and to Grand Rapids; we are not sure he chose the correct family member to follow!

Please join me in thanking Landon for sharing his many gifts with the Notre Dame family, and in wishing him much success and happiness as he writes the next chapter in his story.

Thank you, Landon!

Colleagues,

It is with a heavy heart that today is my last day. The last year at the University of Notre Dame has been wonderful. This place helped me find my passion at a time when I was lost in my career, get through hardships, and develop deep rooted values to be the greater force for good. Therefore, I am forever grateful for this place. However, after a little over a year of being a development coordinator (which taught me so much), it is time for me to take the next step in a direct fundraising role at Purdue University. That being said, I would not have been able to achieve this without each and every one of you. You all have helped develop me as a young professional and I just want to say thank you.

God Bless,
Casey Buck
