Each year, a diverse group of speakers provide students with real-world information and application of topics learned in class as well as personal experience. Science speakers, authors, Holocaust survivors and college admissions deans regularly visit our campus. 

Here are just a few examples:

Holocaust Survivor Story

At Notre Dame, all sophomores study the Holocaust across English, history, and religious studies as part of an integrated curriculum. Students read several accounts of the Holocaust as part of their studies, but the key cornerstone of that learning experience is hearing the testimony of a survivor.
