2018: Sarah Craig ’98 M.N.A.

With this award, Sarah Craig ’98 M.N.A. is recognized for her distinguished service to the University and its humanitarian work around the world.

In January 2018, Craig joined the Notre Dame Research communications team, where she works to promote Notre Dame faculty research outside of the University as well as connect faculty to funding development opportunities.

From 2012 to 2018, she served the Eck Institute for Global Health as a communications specialist. Her role included promoting the institute’s members and students, writing, coordinating media opportunities, managing development funding opportunities, and handling promotional events.

Previously, Craig served as program manager for the Notre Dame Haiti Program from 2003 to 2012. Her duties included advocacy, program coordination, office management, visitor coordination, grant writing and oversight, budget control, and communication. She also oversaw more than 50 staff members for operations in Haiti as well as various facilities.

Craig has been a longtime volunteer leader in the local community. She has three grown children.

“I am honored to be recognized for my service and love of Notre Dame. Notre Dame has always been a part of my life. As a faculty child, student, and employee, my time here has spanned six decades. Every time I tried to leave I was drawn back by the values and beliefs of what we stand for and practice on a daily basis.”
