December 2024: An update from our office

Author: transformation.nd.edu

Dear Friends,

OOIT Annual Report Cover - the Basilica on a sunny day

In the fall, the Office of Institutional Transformation released its 2023-2024 annual report. Producing such a document was quite the undertaking and required the collaboration of many to capture all of the work being done to build a local instantiation of the Beloved Community here at the University of Notre Dame.

I invite you to review the annual report to learn more about the University’s progress and identify ways that you can support the daily work of institutional transformation.

I also ask that you join me in recognizing our friends across campus whose data and efforts are reflected in the annual report. They are outstanding partners who believe deeply in the University’s mission, and they responded with great enthusiasm to our request for Academic Year 2023-2024 updates. Within the pages of the annual report, you’ll learn more about how they’re helping to ensure that students, faculty, and staff feel at home here and have every opportunity to succeed.

My heartfelt appreciation goes to:

  • J.P. Abercrumbie, executive associate athletics director for culture and engagement, Athletics Department

  • David Bailey, vice president for institutional research, innovation and strategy, Institutional Research, Innovation and Strategy

  • Lissa Bill, executive director of institutional innovation and institutional strategy, Institutional Research, Innovation and Strategy

  • Heather Christophersen, vice president for human resources, Notre Dame Human Resources

  • Kate Garry, executive director of academic communications, Office of the Provost

  • Micki Kidder, vice president for undergraduate enrollment, Enrollment Division

  • Erin Klawitter, assistant vice president, Office of Undergraduate Education

  • Keona Lewis, assistant provost for academic diversity and inclusion, Office of the Provost

  • Kate Morgan, director of communications, Division of Student Affairs

As we prepare to turn the page on another calendar year, I am encouraged by all that the University has accomplished thus far and our steadfast commitment to ensuring that Notre Dame is an ever-more welcoming and inclusive environment for all.

Sincerely,

(The Rev. Canon) Hugh R. Page, Jr., DMin, PhD, LHD
