Treasuring college experience,
new opportunities
Brooke Norton, Brian Moscona, & Jonathan Jorissen


   On behalf of the student body, we are thrilled to welcome our newest Domers to the mystique, tradition, unity and history that is Notre Dame. Many incredible experiences await you here at Our Lady's University, where you will grow not only academically, but also emotionally and spiritually. The Grotto at sunset, the Dome lit up in the night sky and the stadium on football Saturdays are all scenes to be treasured, but we know you will also treasure that which is sacred about Notre Dame — the people.

In the coming days you will meet roommates, classmates and professors who will become trusted advisors, best friends, confidants and your second family. Listen to their stories, laugh with them, lose your voice cheering for the Irish and have fun.

The best way to take advantage of your time here is by getting involved in student life. The opportunities are endless and being involved will make your Notre Dame experience even more rewarding. You can play dorm football, write for a student publication, participate in community service, play in the band, join a club, lead campus retreats or get involved in student government. The world is open to you and now is the time to discover your talents and find out what truly makes you happy.

Again, welcome to Notre Dame! If you would like to get involved in Student Government or if you would just like to talk we are here for you. We look forward to meeting each and every one of you, so please stop by 203 LaFortune to say hello.

Welcome to your second home, good luck and go Irish!

Brooke Norton

Notre Dame student body president

Brian Moscona
