The Domer Dozen program is the signature initiative of YoungND, the Alumni Association’s young alumni affinity group. The 2022 honorees have displayed extraordinary dedication to the Alumni Association’s mission and have excelled in education, health care, international relations, religious life, entrepreneurship and public service, among other areas. They were chosen by a selection committee consisting of the YoungND board, University officials and Alumni Association staff, who considered 134 nominees this summer and evaluated them based on a weighted ranking system and their contributions in their respective fields. “This group of exceptional young alumni has once again set the bar with the impact they are making in their communities and around the world,” said Dolly Duffy, executive director of the Alumni Association and associate vice president for University Relations. “Even in a short time since leaving Notre Dame, their remarkable accomplishments in education, research, ministry, medicine and beyond are improving lives in the present and laying the groundwork for a better future. The 2022 Domer Dozen are a powerful reflection of the Notre Dame spirit and the capacity of her graduates to be a force for good.” The 2022 Domer Dozen honorees are: DeJorie Monroe ’16 — Promoting intercultural understanding and global human development  Kiley Adams ’17 — Ensuring equitable access to outdoor spaces and medical care for people with disabilities  Ana Kent ’13 — Implementing psychological expertise to solve economic inequality  Connor Toohill ’14 — Providing mental health and well-being resources through social entrepreneurship Meehan Lenzen ’11 — Empowering young women in STEM through community-based service  Ashley Murphy ’16 — Pursuing social justice through public health research  Adam René P.
