A Note from John McGreevy and Jim Frabutt
to the ILI Community

Dear ILI Community,

 

It is our great pleasure to announce that Professor John Duffy will be transitioning into the leadership role of the Inspired Leadership Initiative (ILI), formally taking the reins on July 1.  John is excited to take on this role and has been working closely with the Founding Director, Tom Schreier, and the Co-Founding Director, Chris Stevens, as well as the rest of the ILI Leadership Team, during this past year. We are confident that John is ready to lead the ILI with full support from us, Tom, Chris, the Provost’s Office, and all who have so ably created and led Notre Dame’s commitment to this new area of higher education.

 

We want to personally thank Tom and Chris, who created a distinctive vision for the ILI in close collaboration with many of our faculty, and brought it to life in 2016 with the first of six cohorts of accomplished individuals. ILI Fellows desire to come to this great University to discover, discern, and design their next act. The Fellows not only grow individually while here, but they also contribute to Notre Dame in distinctive ways. They enrich the communities they return to as they emerge as a force for good in all they do.

 

Please join us in congratulating John Duffy and thanking Tom and Chris.

 

Sincerely,

John

“I am honored to have been asked to lead this wonderful program that has a transformational impact on those it serves, from the fellows to faculty and students. While Tom and Chris will certainly be missed, I am confident we can carry forward the good work given the foundation that has been built and the experienced leadership team I am so grateful to inherit.”

Tom Schreier
Founding Director

“I have had no greater privilege in my professional life than to be granted the opportunity to engage with this amazing academy at Our Lady’s University to develop and bring to life a program that is as enriching as the ILI.  I am truly grateful to have had this role and am also grateful to all at Notre Dame who have been so gracious with their time and wisdom. I have no doubt that John Duffy possesses all the qualities to carry this forward even better than it is today.”

 

“I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with Tom and the ILI team in bringing this program to where it is today, and I’m excited for John Duffy to have the chance to lead the ILI into this next chapter.”
