Fellows taking part in the program will draw on the University’s extensive resources in the arts, humanities, sciences, international relations, theology and many other fields, and also spend time studying abroad at Notre Dame’s Global Gateways. “The opportunity for accomplished people from diverse backgrounds to reimagine their mission in Notre Dame’s rich and dynamic learning environment will be life-changing for participants,” said Tom Schreier, founding director of the initiative. “We expect this transformation will be every bit as profound for the University and broader global community as they are for our fellows personally.” As part of the program, the fellows will experience a core curriculum, audit classes, attend lectures, engage with students, collaborate on projects and take an active role in the campus, local and global community. “We are delighted to initiate this new program at Notre Dame,” said Thomas G. Burish, Notre Dame’s provost. “The first class of fellows is a diverse, talented, successful and personally generous group of individuals who wish to continue to give to their communities in new ways in the years after their retirement. We are grateful for and excited about the opportunity to be a part of their journey.” To learn more, visit the ILI website at http://ili.nd.edu.
