In looking towards the upcoming school year, Ally said: “I am beyond excited to be joining the Notre Dame community as the Rector of Ryan Hall! My residence hall at the University of Portland was the hallmark of my undergraduate experience and I have looked forward to returning to work of residence life ever since I graduated. I am honored to be serving the students of Ryan Hall and I hope to lead and accompany our community with love, enthusiasm, and grace. I look forward to getting to know each member of the community as well as the unique traditions that make Ryan Hall the best hall on campus! Ultimately, I am excited to share life with our students – to laugh, pray, grow, and learn together. Go Wildcats!”
