Here, I learned to be limitless and that no box exists. My Notre Dame is the place where I found my voice and was challenged to speak louder and rise higher. My Notre Dame is a village of support where a legacy of excellence was not optional and each student, [alum], faculty, staff, and friend feels welcomed home each time they enter our campus. On these grounds, every voice is included and there are no strangers, only cheerleaders waiting to help you soar!”
