David Armstrong has been recently named Notre Dame College's new vice president of development. Armstrong, who has been with the College since 2003, served most recently as vice president for enrollment and legal counsel, and directed all althletics, enrollment management, legal and student services functions.

While in law school, Armstrong served as the assistant to the prosecutor for the city of Lakewood, Ohio.

Additionally, he serves on the Board for St. Mary's Seminary and the Sisters of Notre Dame India Mission.

Armstrong has enjoyed considerable success while working in his various administrative positions. Since Armstrong has been involved with enrollment, Notre Dame College has experienced unprecedented growth, more than doubling the total headcount of the College in only six years. Under Armstrong's guidance, Notre Dame College has enjoyed the fastest enrollment growth of any small private college in the nation in its Carnegie Classification. The College has recently constructed brand new residence halls and acquired existing buildings adjacent to the campus to facilitate this growth. As legal counsel for Notre Dame College, Armstrong manages all legal concerns facing the college and has navigated the college through four DOE inquiries and a complete overhaul of the Student Handbook. Most recently, Armstrong was a speaker at a Department of Education Office of Civil Rights seminar entitled "Empower Your Campus: Raising Awareness of Title IX and Sexual Harassment/Sexual Violence."

Most notably, Armstrong is a proud husband and father of two children.
