At Notre Dame, we fight for a world without borders to knowledge, understanding, and human connection. We send our students and faculty into every corner of the globe, pairing transformative experiences with research that fosters peace, addresses the realities of migration, and uplifts communities in need. We value open minds and open hands, building bridges across cultures to shape a more just and united world.
