Presidents welcome incoming students
Rev. Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C.
President


   Welcome to Notre Dame. We have a beautiful campus and a talented faculty. I am sure that you will grow in every way as a thoughtful and reflective person preparing to make your way in the world. We are also proud of our residence tradition on campus and the many activities available for you to use your God given talents in leadership and service.

It is my hope that during your time with us you will make some of the best friends of your life. We welcome students from every state in the union and from a wide array of foreign countries and cultures. We are enriched by the different experiences and perspectives that you bring to our common life.

I will have the privilege of teaching some of you in my seminar class. Others I will come to know through my residing in Sorin Hall. I hope to have a chance to interact with all of you in some way or another during your time at Notre Dame.

Once again welcome to Notre Dame! I am confident that this will be a great year for all of us. May God bless our life together.

Cordially,

Rev. Edward Malloy

Welcome back to Saint Mary's College for the 2000-2001 academic year! I hope that the summer for every student included a combination of rest and rejuvenation, a time to think about your academic life and your future — and I'm sure for all of you, earning money was a high priority! Now that we are back into the new year, I hope that it will be very challenging and rewarding for you. In particular, I welcome our new first-year and transfer students and assure you that your experience at Saint Mary's College will be an important time in your life.

I look forward to meeting with students and faculty throughout the year and continuing our good relationships with the University of Notre Dame and Holy Cross College.

Cordially,

Marilou Eldred
