If you don’t find anything, or if we missed something, shoot us an email and we’ll add it to the list. Even more importantly, we want to know what you think. Call or email us to let us know what your thoughts are on the new polices and programs we’ve proposed to build a new kind of Student Government. You can take the Notre Dame project into your own hands, and we hope that this campaign will be a vehicle for you to do exactly that.
