The Office of the Dean of Students strives to help students in their journey to reach their full potential inside and outside the classroom. We work with students and provide them with direction as they transition and navigate the university community and systems. We advocate for students individually and systemically.

I hope you will consider us your place to turn when you need any of our services. Even if you are unsure of where to go for assistance, please reach out to us (studentlife@ndm.edu, 410-532-5488) and we will help identify resources for you.

To ring in the holiday season, students, faculty, and staff will join together for Notre Dame’s Annual Christmas Celebrations!

We will first gather as a community for the Tree Trim, decorating a tree with creative, handmade or purchased ornaments. Afterwards we will sit down together to enjoy our Annual Christmas Dinner, where students receive small tokens of appreciation and are treated to a special dinner served by faculty and staff volunteers. There will be traditional singing of favorite Christmas carols. The evening will conclude with a carol outside to celebrate the lighting of Caroline Hall’s Merrick Tower.
