Leaders in Transition
Public service is a key component of Notre Dame’s mission. Approximately 10 percent of graduating students put this mission into action through a year or more of volunteer work. However, these same students, some of whom have served in underdeveloped countries or areas, can experience reverse culture shock when they return to the U.S. job market. The Leaders in Transition Certificate Program, now in its second year, seeks to ease their move back into the professional arena. Sponsored by the Master of Nonprofit Administration (MNA) program, in collaboration with the Center for Social Concerns, the Alumni Association, and the ND Career Center, the Leaders in Transition program will take place on campus Aug. 9-14.  [Full Story]

Attend a Weekend of Prayer
For more than 90 years, Christians have gathered at Notre Dame each summer to grow in faith together through a weekend of prayer. The annual summer retreat, which has run continuously since 1918, welcomes families and friends to campus for a three-day (Aug. 7-9) spiritual journey that promises to strengthen their bonds with God and with each other.  [Full Story]
