She is not an alumna of Holy Cross.
She has an employment background that includes BC Law, BU Law, Wellesley, and for nearly six years, this: She was well-regarded at Harvard, I checked.
She will probably be around College Hill for 12-18 months.
She is the Interim Director of the Office of Advancement, Tracy Barlok's old job (without the interim).

One of the key jobs at HC, so best of luck to Ilisa. I wonder if this is a tryout that might grow into a permanent position. HC's incredibly generous alums have made the school the wonderful place it is, but the money flow has the be sustained and even grow.

From her role in Jewish philanthropy, she almost certainly knew Myra Hiatt Kraft and probably knows Bob and Jonathan as well. . Recall that a main reason for hiring Nate Pine was to shake the money tree.

Great news. The new additions to the leadership team have impressive records of accomplishment. First class leaders in every way. Expect their influence will go far and wide to make vast improvements to the College. HC is upping its game.

I hope you're right Phreek and agree she does not need a try-out, but if you look at her LinkedIn profile she's been a consultant since 2000 running, what I assume is, her own firm since 2009. The early days at her current firm that includes 2 stints as interim director, one at BU for 15 months (March 2010 - May 2011) and one at BC Law for about 16 months (Sept 2011 - Dec 2012). She has not been a full time college university employee since leaving Harvard in 1995. And at roughly 66 years old, not sure she'll be looking to make an 8-10 year commitment to a capital campaign.

I love how many women are on the leadership team. I want the best people on the leadership team. If they happen to be all women, that’s great. The only person on the leadership team I’ve ever met for more than 30 seconds is Michele Murray. She seems very good. President Rougeau did a very nice job during his speech at the mass yesterday and comes across very well in all the things I have seen. I met Kit briefly and liked him but jury is still a little out on whether he’ll be able to bring consistent success to our teams in a way his predecessors were not.

That plan is supposed to cover 8-10 years, so if there are new academic buildings their construction (or at least the funding for such) would likely antedate the next capital campaign. Rick Patterson was talking about $300 million for the residence halls; add a new academic building or two, and upgrading the rink, and that's $400 million without getting winded.` And from Angela Schaefer's testimonials, part of her talent appears to be strategic planning, the implementation and marketing thereof Her predecessor, by background, was more interested in branding. She was brand manager for Sam Adams, IIRC. .

Both of these appointments are consultants. That’s why they are interims. Take a look at Hurowitz’s LinkedIn. It’s public.

Hogan--knock it down and build a magnificent new building with a classic design

My youngest son just asked the Hogan update question yesterday after being in some of the newer spaces on campus. As the building that probably gets the most daily foot traffic and this the most exposure to current and potential future members of the HC community, a significant modernization of it may be warranted. Would probably put new/refurbished dorms higher up the list. Hogan basement and the bookstore floor have an okay feel. The rest of it including the ballroom needs some work. Maybe just redo the ballroom floor and leave the other floors as is.

Re: Hogan, I believe there are classrooms in Hogan. Potentially, they could be moved into a new academic building. Lots of moving parts, e.g., the spaces in O'Kane with performance arts and the Cantor Gallery moving, though the studio theater, the smaller of the two, supposedly remains. I don't know whether there are still classrooms in Alumni, or classrooms other than for NROTC in Carlin.

IIRC, Hogan had a renovation in 1997, so it is due for an extensive refresh and reconfiguration.
When it first opened, in the fall of 1967, Hogan was a beehive of student activity, with a bowling alley, large cafeteria on the second floor facing the library, a golf putting and driving room, a TV room, private music listening booths, pool tables, table tennis, bookstore, pub, and individual rooms for student activity clubs such as the radio stations,(2) newspapers (2), band, music practice. as well as conference rooms.
Over the last 50 the building has been repurposed, some for the good, some not so much regarding providing students with a central point for non athletic activities. As part of the new campus master plan, I would like to see Hogan to its original purpose as a center for community activity, and a good place to hang out. Maybe Sasaki will recommend that the redesigned Hogan, can once again return to its original purpose.

The cafeteria was a happy place to hang out. Even had hi-tech communications equipment for it's time, a TV.

Worked in the pool hall/bowling alley and it was a great place to meet others occasionally teachers would come to the bowling alley with their families. And of course there was nothing better than listening to Fast Eddie, the full timer during the week, tell stories or listen to him try and persuade the crowd to buy some cheap Chanel #5 perfume, probably off the truck-he called it Channel 5 perfume-he was a great bowler in the Worcester area at the time KOT72, a frequent guest and a very solid pool player, might have some other memories.

Maybe Sasaki will recommend that the redesigned Hogan, can once again return to its original purpose. I doubt Hogan will ever be a beehive again. the beehive has been dispersed. Consider that the Prior Center is specifically designed with a 'beehive' as its central core. The Jo now offers another place to gather, and recreate. And Luth is much more than a court and rink. And Fauci has a central court / gathering point. The newer residence halls are suites (apartments): e.g., each suite in Figge has two bedrooms with two beds; a bathroom with separate shower, toilet, and wash basin areas, a kitchen, and a large lounge with a dining area. I'll guess the square footage of a suite in Figge is 2.5-3x the square footage of two adjacent rooms in the four original Easy St. dorms. The Figge-style suite arrangement is apparently what will be followed in the rebuild of the Easy St. dorms. Which means significantly fewer beds, and which means either adding a floor or two to each, or building more new residence halls than what's going in on City View. .I have no idea what can be done to Loyola or Wheeler from a reconfiguration standpoint, and I think it likely freshmen will continue to be housed in the traditional dorm.
