Name: Amy Walter
Title: Senior Office Coordinator — Office of Development
Why do you enjoy working at Notre Dame?: I love working at Notre Dame because of the amazing history and beautiful unity this place has. Growing up, Notre Dame football was the center of all of our parties between September and November. Some of my fondest memories are with family, football, and food. I am so proud to be working with the best college in the world. I love the beauty of this campus, all four seasons. It's all beautiful. Every day, I am so thankful to be a part of the ND family. Because of this place, I was able to graduate with my associate's in business from Ivy Tech this past May.
Grow your connections at Notre Dame and help others get to know you! Simply complete this form and we will feature you in an upcoming issue and on our website!
