We pray for an end to the divisive rhetoric that has led to a growing and unacceptable environment of hate and violence that is tearing at the fabric of our nation. “Notre Dame is committed to scholarship and education related to issues of race and reconciliation through entities such as the Initiative on Race and Resilience and the Klau Center for Civil and Human Rights. “Faculty and staff are encouraged to contact the Notre Dame Wellness Center for emotional well-being services. Students may contact the University Counseling Center for counseling or Campus Ministry for pastoral support.”   Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C. President, University of Notre Dame   The Rev.
