Following the great success of Life Beyond the ND Bubble in 2018 (we had 400 attendees), the Alumni Association will again host the life skills event for our graduating seniors Saturday, Feb. 2 to help prepare them for managing their world outside Notre Dame and all of the challenges that come with it—from retirement planning and budgeting to professional dress and home management. We are presenting the event in coordination with the Office of Student Affiars and the Senior Class Council.
We are grateful to have a group of wonderful presenters joining us:
The event is from 11 am-4 pm in the Dahnke Ballroom in the Duncan Student Center. It is free, and students can come and go throughout the day. Macy’s and Target will join us to share advice on dressing for the workplace and decorating a small space on a budget.
You can learn more at bubble.nd.edu. We will release the full schedule there early next week. If you have an interest in dropping by, please do so. We’d be excited to have you.
In addition to Target and Macy’s, there will be lots of prizing from our sponsors at VenueND, Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore, and the Morris Inn. Students will have time scheduled to visit and learn from our tabling partners—the Grotto Network, IrishCompass, Liberty Mutual, Mendoza’s Master of Science in Management, Notre Dame Clubs, ND Human Resources, Senior Legacy, and VenueND.

Hello again.
Our colleague Taylor Rockafellow will soon leave Notre Dame to pursue humanitarian work in Puerto Rico, serving those communities impacted in 2017 by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria. Taylor’s last day at the University is Friday, January 25, 2019.
After completing her degree in Sociology with a Minor in International Studies at Indiana University, Taylor joined the Development team in 2015 as administrative assistant for Global Advancement. Her energy, spirit, and commitment to our team grew over time, as did her scope of responsibilities and positive impact. In early 2018, Taylor was promoted to Academic and Global Advancement Team Coordinator, and became an even more integral part of our team’s work and culture.
At a recent retreat, we gave Taylor a token of our appreciation for her meaningful contributions to our team. We hope that Taylor will take this gift, and more importantly the individual anecdotes each of our team members shared with her, into this next chapter of her personal and professional life.
As we say goodbye and thank you to Taylor for her service to Notre Dame, please also remember her in your prayers of gratitude for those serving the vulnerable.

It is with mixed emotion that I share RaeLee Rea is leaving her program director role in Stewardship for an exciting position in Gift Planning. It is with mixed emotions because we have truly benefited from RaeLee’s expertise, dedication and kindness. In her almost two years on the team, she has served as the stewardship partner for Corporate Relations, Foundation Relations, the Provost Office, the Graduate School and Notre Dame Research. She has made great strides in enhancing how we track and steward donors who have generously established endowed professorships, directorships and graduate fellowships. We will remain grateful for her efforts.
Stewardship will miss RaeLee dearly and are comforted knowing she will not be far, will have an opportunity to better utilize her law degree, and will continue to steward donors in her new role. In fact, new responsibilities will include management and stewardship of Notre Dame’s Donor Advised Fund program, acting as the technical lead for Gift Planning processes and improvements, and aiding in other important Gift Planning efforts.
RaeLee will transition to Gift Planning on Thursday, January 10. Anyone interested in RaeLee’s former role should contact Katherine Lane.
Please join us in congratulating RaeLee Rea!
In Notre Dame,
Katherine Lane and Rich Naponelli
Team,
We are pleased to welcome Ashley Van Avermaete to the Regional Administrative Assistance team. Ashley’s first day in the office will be Monday, January 14th.
Ashley received her BLS degree from Indiana University, Bloomington, with a concentration in Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and a minor in Psychology. She is excited to join the Development team and believes her past experiences, both work and personal, have fortified her passion to work with others that support philanthropy and service.
In her free time, Ashley enjoys exploring the outdoors, kayaking the Great Lakes, and spending time with her miniature schnauzer, Benny.
Please join us in welcoming Ashley!

Construction on the next phase of our Integrated Work Environment space will begin Monday, January 14th. We apologize for any inconvenience caused while the work takes place, but the majority of work will be completed within a week. Attached are the next phase floor plan and renderings shared in November.
Once completed, the following Regional Directors will be sharing this space: M. Abernathy, K. Deeth, S. Forry, M. Futa, G. Heeter, L. Hubert, J. Jessup, S. Jessup, B. Kempf, R. Koval, T. Molnar, J. Meyer, D. Paulsen, T. Reilly, D. Santucci, J. Scarlett, M. Schultz, S. Sollman, A. Wall. Huge thanks to each of them for taking the lead in working in our new environment. While we certainly invite you to explore the new spaces, we ask you be mindful that these spaces are primarily for the use of these colleagues until additional shared space comes on line. All team members can continue to use the pilot shared space that we brought online in the summer between the Sorin and Family Rooms.
In addition, seven of our administrative assistants are relocating to other desks on the floor: M. Bassett, D. Chamberlin, S. Ford, M. Gendel, K Montague, P. Mullin, K. Schoenfeld. Huge thanks to them for being so flexible as we continue to work through this re-imaging of our work environment.
Thank you in advance for your patience and consideration over the coming weeks as we pack, reconfigure, rebuild, and move into this fantastic new space. Please contact Marty Harshman or Brad Goff with questions.
Thanks,
Marty
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to announce that Renee Romanelli is joining the East Region as a Regional Director serving the New York market. Renee will be based in our New York office.
Renee received her BA from Notre Dame in 2001, majoring in American Studies with concentrations in Government and English. Upon graduation, she entered the Sales, Trading and Research analyst program at Lehman Brothers and began what would become a successful 10-year career on Wall Street. She has extensive sales and relationship building/management experience having spent the majority of that time as a fixed income institutional salesperson on the US credit desk. In 2011, Renee made the decision to leave Wall Street to be home full-time with her first child, then nearly a year old. She always knew that she would return to work when the timing and opportunity were right and is very excited to do so for her alma mater.
Renee and her husband Michael, also a Notre Dame 2001 graduate, have two children: a son, Andrew (8), and a daughter, Hadley (6). They live in Rye, NY, a suburb of New York City. In her spare time, Renee enjoy spending time with her family, playing tennis, skiing and volunteering in the community.
Renee will begin her new role on Monday, January 14. Please join me in welcoming Renee home to Notre Dame!
My very best,
Anne Griffith
