I am delighted to share that Kelli Kalisik will join the Stewardship & Donor Relations team. As a Program Director for Donor Recognition, Kelli will lead the quarterly reporting and communications for our capital projects, provide support and content management for our digital recognition display at the Hesburgh Library and lead special individualized donor stewardship touches throughout the year, such as appropriate signage, displays, and tokens of appreciation.

Kelli comes to us from the Notre Dame Office of Financial Aid. During her 13 years in Financial Aid, her direct supervisor shared that her contributions were too numerous to list. As the leader of operations, Kelli implemented the complexity factor, created a production calendar, supported the creation of the Work from Home and the transition to the Work from Here solutions, and supported the implementation of automated tracking groups. Kelli is known and respected in the national financial aid community.  Her leadership in the Financial Aid Standards and Services Advisory Committee (FASSAC) is significant.  She serves on the committee that prepares the Professional Judgment Tip Sheets, has participated in the planning and presenting of the Campus Need Analysis Roundtable, and is supporting the development and piloting of the Profile Lite.

The Stewardship & Donor Relations team is delighted to be a part of Kelli’s next chapter at Notre Dame. Kelli’s first day in the office will be Monday, March 27th.

In addition to our excitement surrounding Kelli’s decision to join our team, we are delighted to share the immediate promotion of Teri Vitale to Assistant Director for Donor Recognition. Teri has been a valued member of the Stewardship team for over 20 years. Her contributions are numerous, but anyone who has been given the opportunity to work with Teri knows she flawlessly leads our Memorial Tree and Bench program. In her new position, Teri will lead a new recognition program for financial aid benefactors. Additionally, she will take on a larger portfolio of public and private recognition projects.

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!
