Help Us Celebrate Pi(e) Day!
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!
Baby Clothes & Toys Needed for Saint Bakhitas
From ND Professor Wendy Angst:
Hello everyone! The second cohort of ND-Inspired Innovation Scholars at Saint Bakhitas started classes last week! This year we have 19 nursing mothers in our program, which equals 20 babies (one of the young women has twins!). We are in need of baby clothes (size 6 – 12 months) and baby toys!
Theresa Foley and I head off Friday 3/10, along with 18 Notre Dame students, so would need any donations by the end of day Wednesday, 3/8 so that we can get them distributed among suitcases for our journey. Please drop off any contributions to the amazing Ashley Heberling in MCOB 304. Or if you do not have time to shop and would like to donate money, that would of course be welcome too!
Thank you, as always, for your prayers and support! And stay tuned for exciting updates from this trip that will include community immersions, prototype testing, and our first-ever Innovation Fair with our recently graduated class of Scholars.
Go Irish!
Wendy

Farewell Landon Weldy
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!
David Chaudoir
